BOLAN LIMITED EDITIONS

A fantastic issue of coloured vinyl singles to honour Bolan’s anniversary, but why 1,000 only, leading to the profiteering by those who have no interest in owning or keeping the vinyl? I wonder how many other readers have felt the same frustration? Once I became aware of the new issues I placed advanced orders for the singles online with HMV. The first duly arrived (looks and sounds great) only to be emailed a week later and told the other two are sold out and out of stock. And then surprise surprise, copies appearing on eBay and reaching up to £25, with more than one copy being put up for sale by the same seller. Is this what Demon Music and others intend when issuing limited editions? If not, what can be done to ensure true fans and collectors are able to acquire new issues at their intended retail price! Guess what? Sex Pistols limited re-issues - it’s happening again!
