What is MHTRTC on vinyl worth these days?
I only own that and TCH. Looks like I wont ever afford the others.

seems to go for about $200 these days.

i'm holding to the belief that there will be repressings.

if there aren't.. well.. then i guess some things were never meant to be heard by mortal ears

I was just discussing about this with someone and the copies I found on sale were all about $100. Still very expensive, about a year ago you could still get one for $60. I paid 200€ for my seven records nine months ago.

how much would you sell it for

I think you bought all my BoC vinyl a few years back. Came to my house with a couple ladies.

Waaaaaat! A vinyl would be killer to have as well, but geez what I'd do to be able to trip on some fungus and look through that kaleidoscope. I bet I could see the FUTURE

EDIT: Also, since I'm living in Japan, my Geogaddi CD is of course the JPN version. Even says "not for sale outside of Japan." I wonder if that make's it any higher value in the states?
Might be a stupid question, but then again, the only stupid question is one unasked. ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/

I was going buy the Kaleidoscope years ago, but bought their vinyls instead, which was a better decision considering the prices of them now. I mean it's cool and all. But I like Teleidoscopes better. In a Kaleidoscope, you just see patterns from jewels, beads and whatever other pieces of shapes. With a Teleidoscope, you see patterns of whatever you are pointing it at. A good example of a Teleidoscope is the Geogaddi Artwork.

As far the Japanese release, I bought my Japanese Geogaddi for $28 back in 2005. My friend went over to visit Tokyo and picked it up for me. I haven't seen one on ebay in a looooong time although Discogs has them for sale for around that same price. So I wouldn't know the exact value of it except that I would imagine it would fetch a descent amount considering it has the bonus track "From One Source All Things Depend." The Japanese release was only released as a CD/Promo Cassette.

Happy 2012 Boccers. Anyway I spent around (your insane) £375 on the following BOC vinyl items in autumn last year via eBay:

MHTRTC
GEOGADDI
TCH
TRANS CANADA HIGHWAY
HI-SCORES (could not get enough of Everything You Do Is A Balloon - what a track!)
TWOISM
ABPITC (bad copy refunded but kept - can't play Amo Bishop Roden)
PEEL SESSIONS
TCH Warp poster from Australia- plus a separate black mounting frame

Average vinyl price was £40 (inc postage). I got four releases from one seller which was great.

Missed out on a Kalidescope for £35 - gutted

Worth everything I spent...I also shelled out for original Morrissey and The Smiths vinyl - ouch...I've always wanted a vinyl collection so...

What was very strange/spooky was that a Canadian woman moved into the room next door to me at the same time...she saw my poster and I mentioned the band and played her TCH on vinyl and she really appreciates it. Just talking about them is making me itch to play them again
