Well the auctions have been and gone - with good news and bad news.

Auction 1 - promos, mix tapes and potential demo of His N Hers, Acrylic Afternoons and Someone Like The Moon.......sold for £170. I bid on this up to £150, but didnt see the value in going above that.

Auction 2 - the one we all wanted.....has been won, by.......... US! The bad news, it went for £340 (plus sellers premium). I was prepared to pay £300 before it got spotted by other members from Bar Italia - it was never going cheap, the bids were pretty much instant, and shot up to £260 in no time. I got outbid at £300, so I bid £340 (it was £320 at the time) - and won it.

Ill attatch the proof of auction victory in this post, and ill also post the invoice up later so you can all see the breakdown.

For those who are willing to contribute to this - please pm me, or add me on facebook - Ideally what I want is for us all to contribute equally, as it would be unfair for one person to say pay £50, and someone else only willing to pay £10. Ive never done something like this before, so im new to all this kind of approach, and would like people to make their suggestions known as to how to go about sorting this out. They will be digitally converted - also into Wav format and MP3, so we can have lossless audio for the audiogeeks out there, and also MP3 for them who just want to listen.

Please can we have communications as to who wants to contribute, and ill list on here who (unless you want to remain anonymous) you are and send you all something by way of a thank you (some Pulp things that arent out there yet - but will upload them to Ian's site in a few weeks)

Much love.
