While browsing through the new Record Collector Rare Record Price Guide 2013 in Waterstones this morning my eye was drawn to the DC interhangeable covers LP and it is valued at £50 if my memory serves me correctly. It's weel worth popping into your local bookstore and seeing what RC have to make of various Pulp values.
Such a waste : at camden market there is a t shirt stall with the i Spy interchangeable cover really low down on a the wall - practically on the floor below loads of tshirts! I fancied asking if he'd sell me the record which was probably knocking about somewhere (In the end I didn't because I thought people would think I was strange)
Oh 40 euros is a lot better than the ones I've seen though. I have the repressing (it was still kind of expensive because it's an 'import' here) but one day I'd like the one with the interchangeable covers.

Well, I finally have something old worth adding to this list. Not as wonderful as Jarv's stage notes, but still pretty great. I was going to scan it in for the Pulpwiki, but the guy who sold it to me has already done so! Still, pretty wonderful to have.
Fairly sure I'm safe to say that this - the third Pulp gig - is the first Pulp concert that was advertised with a flyer/poster (or at least, the first to have an extant flyer) and, whilst it's neither a recording nor a photo of the gig, it's still pretty exciting.
Stephen, I'm glad it's you who ended up with that flyer. It is a nice bit of memorabilia. I was going to bid on it myself - but left it to the last minute and then forgot.
Cheers Will! I didn't actually have the winning bid, but as the original flyer was actually printed twice on an A4 sheet, so the seller split it intn two A5 sheets and gave me a 2nd chance offer. My copy is rather more faded than the one on the wiki tho!

Nice purchase! I found it online for £8 once (described as 'cd with booklet') but frustratingly it had sold in 'real life' before my payment got to them.
Rare and pretty pricey, aye. Especially with the Jamie Hewlett connection. On another rarity note, just found Blur-ti-go in a charity shop for £4. The assistant thought it overpriced and wanted only £2, but my vague morals prevailed!
Stephen : Yep...going to pop my flyer in a frame too. Will add it to my "wall of inspiration" in my little 'Studio' in the spare room. As for the Jamie Hewlett Pulp comic...there was a time when the Notting Hill MVE had what seemed like an inexhaustible supply of the things. That was some years ago though. May have a copy or two still knocking about 'under the counter' though if you were to ask?
