Only got the one I'm afraid mate

I dont think there'll be too many people wanting to part with theres either, but you never know. Got mine signed too.
How much did you pay for your Japanese Box Set if you dont mind me asking???

Just the one copy too mate I'm afraid. Not sure what it's worth, a fair bit I think.
I've got a pretty extensive collection, certainly every officially released item and a few bootleg CD's with early tracks and demo versions etc.
]What's the rarest thing in everyone's collection ?

Rarest stuff in my collection would be the Valentine's card, the Mondo releases (white vinyl included, no spare though, soz) my 12" promo's and probably the American Suckerpunch promo. My boyfriend has loads of white label stuff though.
I will steal it all one day when he's not looking

I think my most rare are:
Mondo White Vinyl, The 'Snake' Demos, The uncredited 'Pump it Up' single with bike pump inside the cover, Greetings From Shitsville Brown Vinyl and Original Demo's of what became Earth Vs.
Pretty sure I'm not missing any tracks.

The Pump It Up promo is one thing I don't have that I really really want. I love that song

Yeah, it's brilliant. Was recorded during the Endless Nameless sessions I think.
I paid £10 for it at the time but I've seen it go for £50 recently. Strange considering it is just one track that isn't even 3 minutes long!!!!
Mind you, don't know about anyone else but I paid £35 to get a Japanese version of Fishing For Luckies because it had Beautiful Me, Beautiful You on it which I did have already.
Strange what obsession makes you do isn't it?

Indeed it is! Luckily i've come to my senses a bit more lately and let my bank account do the talking. There are things in my collection i've spent stupid amounts of money on though.

Yeah, me too. There comes a point when you just have to let the head rule the heart now and then. But only now and then.

It would be cool if between us all, we could compile the ultimate rare tracks compilation.
