Yes, that worked with me. I didn't know much about Wire then but it REALLY looked interesting. There was a table with new released albums at my record dealer (in the 70ies/80ies) and I frequently was caught from a good record cover. Anyone remember the Slits album cover ? regards, FrankfromBavaria ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 10:23:46 +0200 From: giluz Subject: Re: [idealcopy] In Soli Immortal States on 25/06/02 03:31, Tim at timrobinson@cwcom.net wrote: > You have a keen eye for the price of things.

I'm not sure about that (and I like the sleeve as well - it would certainly draw my attention in the record store), but if we're on the subject of selling, does anyone know how much did Wire albums ever sell? giluz ------------------------------ End of idealcopy-digest V5 #209 *******************************
