No, I'm not a serious enough collector either! I'm sure these days you can found them online somewhere

Re: The Collectors Thread
Collector madness!!!
There are 3 x 2 Tone singles released on a ‘blue‘ 2 Tone label as well as the traditional paper and silver injection moulded.
They weren’t intentionally released as blue label it was a manufacturing issue so they actually have no ‘official’ release value.
As a completist I’d like to have them but as part of an official collection don’t need them.
Been watching this one on EBay and it sold for £255.67!!!
One sold in January for £19

Re: The Collectors Thread
Can’t help myself.
I have a copy of The Bodysnatchers single Lets Do Rocksteady (catalogue CHSTT 9) on the traditional 2 Tone paper label and I also have a copy on the plastic injection moulded label.
Now I have bought a 3rd copy labelled as People Do Rocksteady

Of any interest to you 101W? A Two Tone 8CD release. A lot cheaper than that blue label single!

Re: The Collectors Thread
I really admire your absolutely insanely detailed devotion to collecting every possible variant the 2-tone label every pressed, Wally. It's incredibly cool in the record geekiest way possible.

Re: The Collectors Thread
Yes that is another nice 40th anniversary release from 2 Tone and great value for money. Shame there isn’t a vinyl option.laxman wrote: ↑20 Jul 2020, 2:52pmhttps://www.recordstore.co.uk/recordsto ... urce=Email

Re: The Collectors Thread
No, I'm being serious, it's pretty cool. I did a much more modest project like yours with a record label, but it only ever put out a few releases. I had a nice sense of satisfaction when I found the records of been looking for and had 'em all together.101Walterton wrote: ↑20 Jul 2020, 4:43pmNot sure if you are taking the piss or nothowever if you have any OCD it is great to collect something that has clear parameters . I know some people who collect any 2 Tone records however that also includes an infinite number of overseas pressings and imports etc.. I couldn't cope with collecting something that doesn’t have a finish or at least a possible finish.

Re: The Collectors Thread
Didn't realise that was a Costello production too. Far better sound than the debut.

Re: The Collectors Thread
Sadly none of these are available on Discogs at the moment.101Walterton wrote: ↑12 Feb 2020, 10:36pmMy main collection is the 2 Tone records catalogue on vinyl. I only collect the UK issues not imports etc.
I am trying to ‘complete’ the 7” collection and whilst I do have a copy of every official release there are a few rarities I want/need including:
On silver plastic injection moulded label
TT1 The Specials - Gangsters
TT14 The Swinging Cats - Montovani (very very rare)
On blue plastic injection moulded label
TT3 Madness - The Prince
TT4 The Selector - On My Radio
TT17 The Specials - Ghost Town
Promo only issues
TTP1 The Specials - Rudie & Ghost Town / Madness - One Step / Selector - Radio
TT100 Special AKA - What I Like Most About You (different release to TT27 single issue)
The albums are much easier to find and cheaper but also interested in completing the 12” singles.
