Although I've never got on with Super Ape if that's an original press that's not a band find at all. There's also a half-decent repress of Two Sevens Clash which seems to be in pretty much every single UK record shop's reggae section which will do the job rather well if you want that rather than paying silly money for the original. And without wanting to sound immoral or like a complete c*nt last time I bought something from Oxfam (Pink Flag) I asked for a discount. I managed to pick up an original of Germ-Free Adolescents from eBay for £14 which I thought was a rather decent price.

I know what you mean as I do it myself...it does feel wrong knocking them down but what the hell with their pricing policy. Half the time they price up by just looking up the catalogue number, I keep telling them they need to be checking the deadwax to be sure. Feeling a bit guilty though cause it turns out that Clash album is a UK original, not a really early one but a later variant and in VG+/VG+ condition is probably worth a tad more than the twelve quid I paid.
What I do know is loads of the pricey stuff (£60 for Help!!! etc) which has been clogging up their shelves for half a year ain't doing much good for charity is it?
Reckon the whole collection brought in are UK originals so we'll see if I'm priced out of not.
Also got Passenger's Whispers 2 and his new album Young as the Morning Old As The Sea.
All proceeds of Whispers 2 go to Unicef UK so I have done me good deed for the day.
All for charidee mate!
