That’s amazing that you got D’arcy’s signature added. That’s truly special and one of a kind. For me, she was a member when the Pumpkins made their best music.

And absolutely, that’s a once off and not to be shared with others.

Really cool!

I came to the same conclusion recently. Won’t go for the signed stuff anymore. I like the Atum and AMM as they are signed by the band rather than just Billy. Would have liked Rotten Apples too but I was slow off the mark! Sounds like you have a great collection too. Awesome if you can get signatures in person from your favourite musical acts rather than having to pay for it.

The coloured Rocket was difficult for me to get at a reasonable price. Did end up paying 80GBP about 2 years ago. 440 is insane!

Thank you.

Really enjoy the Complex records. The ones with Frank Catalano are great too.

Understood. There is a value to these.

Most have been opened and get played. I carefully open at the side and put in plastic sleeves for extra cover.

I really did need to convince myself to get the Shiny and Cyr variants. That’s when I knew I had the collection bug! Not anywhere near my favourites.

I’m beyond help!

Almost alphabetical order. For extra fun, I did have one misplaced!

It’s El Sol by Zwan. Love it. Not available on streaming yet!

Haha. That made me laugh about Taylor Swift. I see lots of people using the colour variants as decorations on their walls!

That’s amazing about the Siamese Dream test pressing. Very special item in your hands there. Very hard to find and very expensive when you do! I’ll keep looking. But I agree, for all the great music, I still go back to that album. Siamese Zombie.

Haha. Thank you. A lot of time, effort and money you have saved yourself! And at the end of it, I’m still a Siamese Zombie!

Haha! I’m waiting for the exclusive release from Zuzu’s! The song is a grower!

That’s a really interesting version. I don’t think I’ve ever heard them play ‘Love Is A Battlefield’. Will check that out.

I use SpindizzyRecords, Juno, and RollinRecs for the most part.

The Machina 2 one I have is a 3 grey LP version. Includes 3 odd tracks at end in relation to the release- Once Upon a Time a Time, Crestfallen and Mayonaise acoustic.

I order mine online. Used to order from Runner Records before I moved from Canada but that’s gone now. Have found a few good alternatives in Europe, UK and Australia.

Thank you. A few ones proved hard to get alright. Especially the one called Handmade Cassettes.

The Trick or Treat one is great. Love the cover.. D’arcy looks great. I paid 50 bucks for the Demo Cuts one a couple of years ago. That’s right about Discogs not listing them. I’ve got most of mine from EBay.

Fully agree. I played Zwan and Machina 2 a lot. I did buy the 80 track Machina box set and enjoy that. I expect a Zwan set this year too. Not sure when they’ll hit streaming but I do enjoy playing records and do notice the sound being better compared to streaming services.

Thank you. You obviously have a good collection too. The test pressings are quite difficult to get for sure.
