Sinister: A request (WARNING: no content)

[Sam Walton]

Hi there all,

I’m afraid that this post has nothing to do with the lovely B&S, so if you 
don’t want to see list abuse, please delete now.

This post is actually to ask for the list’s help. It’s nothing nearly as 
serious as recent requests for the list’s help, but only me wanting advice 
on a particular record. I’m a giant Pulp fan. I mean HUGE, and I always look 
out for rare Pulp stuff whenever I’m out and about. This afternoon, I was 
sifting through the back of some 7 inches at my local store, and came across 
Pulp’s first ever single, from 1981, called My Lighthouse.

My god have I been looking for this for a long time.

It was on the original record label that Pulp were on for the first few 
years, Red Rhino, and the packaging was in pretty good condition. The vinyl 
was in tip-top condition, I listened to it in the shop and everything was in 
order. When I asked how much it was, the guy said, “Thirty quid mate”, and I 
fell over. Well that bit’s a lie, but I was a bit surprised to say the 
least. I said I’d think about it, and get back to him.

I figure from the 1400 odd of us there must be a few really knowledgeable 
record buffs, who know exactly what they’re talking about when it comes to 
rare vinyl. I wonder if any of them could mail me privately 
(samwaltonyeah at hotmail.com) and give me some advice. It’s not that I’m 
skint, I can afford the record, but I don’t want to spend £30 on something 
that is only worth a fiver. Please help.

Thanks very much,

Love,

Sam.x
