Avoid this 'shop' if you can with it's extortionate prices. Once you order from them, they spam your inbox with 'sales info' etc... They do get the rare stuff in, but really cash in on it all.

That site's much better value! Although they do have the Shove It CD up for £40 when you can buy it from Virgin for £7.99.  |

Eil.com is a collctors web site. I have an account there, and they don't spam me. Every week they simply email me a list of all the stuff they have by artists I've bought from them. So I tend to get a weekly email of everything they have from Queen, Roger and The Cross - which of course includes Brian and Freddies work too. The prices are high because that's what they are roughly valued around. You can only score a bargain on these rare items if you buy them from a shop owner who doesn't what it is he's selling. For example, I bought a rare album on vinyl from a store near me for £3 because the owner had no clue who the artist was. Eil.com had it in at £25, because it's very rare. I knew it was rare, Eil's price was a fair one, but I was smart enough to know that I could probably find it cheaper. Basically if you want something rare and can't find it, go to a collector's store like Eil.com. It will cost you, but you'll get what you want. A good site for rare stuff is www.musicstack.com. It's an online market with shops all over the world taking part. Key in what you want, and they list you all the stores that have one, where they are, how much and what condition it's in. And yes, at my last look, two stores had Blue Rock, but it would cost you between £50-£70! JG |
