It's for sale on Discogs...
I just got my XMAS Bonus from work... I am extremely tempted...
Is it worth it? I know, I am acting a little insane considering buying this. Talk me out of it!

hmmm... Not sure if it would be worth it. I tell you what, buy it, then send it to my address. After I've spent considerable time with it I'll tell you if it was worth the buy. Win win, right?
Nah, I'm just kidding... but seriously...

Hmmmm. £285 for 4 tracks. Which I'm guessing you already have on vinyl anyway, right?
Then again - if you ARE going to spunk almost 300 notes up the wall on something trivial my advice would be do it while you can. An old friend of me once told me that the things that usually give you the most pleasure, are the ones bought most frivolously.

I have plenty of gear. Although another synth would be nice too. Would like to get my Juno 60 back.

Yeah I already have Geogaddi on Vinly true. But that blue test pressing is so nice. Thanks for all the advice guys.

I feel like the Juno 60 over the test pressing is a no-brainer, but that's just me.

Well in ten years the price will double..especially if BoC releases another album and more hipsters start to hunt for their collectibles. Look at the normal Geogaddi vinyl prices. Rising all the time! They dare to ask these prices!!

Yeah I know, it's crazy. Like a lot of others on here, I have all of their main releases, EPs ect on vinyl and I never paid over $20.00 for each one. My total collection of BoC vinyls, all 9 cost me $125.00 from 2004-2006. So luckily for me I didn't pay the outrageous prices.

In true BoC loving style, I recommend sending the money to charity instead of the pockets of some undeserving heartless capitalist wanker. I understand the desire for that vinyl, but is it in all honesty worth that much? Personally i'd have spent the money and got it, but I hope you're a better person than me and realise that £300 on a vinyl is downright retarded. Only one person benfits here and it isn't you, nor is it the sandersons...

I respect all of your opinions! Glad I posted about it on here. At the end of the day it's a lot of cash! And after thinking about it I'd rather use it on something else more practical. I'm happy with my current collection as it is, although that test pressing is fucking awesome, I'm not gonna get it. Oh well.
