My gilfriend bought "It" in vinyl for 15 pounds 15 years ago. I thought it was a lot of money for a crap record. :)

Do you know if this record is hard to find and expensive now?

It never goes for crazy prices, strangely. That might change now. I've had two copies one Ex, the other close to mint. They cost £30- £35. I think the highest I saw it go for was £45 at one point. But again, prices may be higher due to their reforming.

It comes up on ebay every so often- keep an eye out!

Don't forget that, apart from eBay, many small record stores have their own websites with a mail order catalogue (or at least they used to). I found my copy of "It" for £20 years ago on an obscure little site.

I think Fire are re-releasing it on vinyl too aren't they, if you aren't too bothered about it being an original.

They are, yes and like you say, online stores and real record shops shouldn't be forgotten. Vinyl Tap in Leeds used to get the It LP in stock quite a lot...

I once turned down the chance to buy the 'choose your own cover' Different Class....for £3.50 (Hairy Records, Liverpool, late 1990s)

What an idiot!

 Proper miss Vinyl Tap.

I was talking to the guy in (I think it's called) Vinyl Exchange in Manchester (the second hand place down the road from Picadilly Records) a couple of months ago and he said that they never get people selling Pulp records. Said it just doesn't happen.

Vinyl exchange used to be really good. Now they charge ridiculously inflated prices for items that aren't even rare. People don't really sell to record shops now because they just completely rip you off when you could be making some decent capital on ebay- democratization of the second hand market! Wish I'd had access to it before I sold a load of great stuff for shit prices years ago (Divine Comedy LPs which I'd assumed no one would want-damn!). I remember Vinyl Ex did have the TIH LP for £40 in vg condition earlier this year...

I think my question was missed.
Anyone know if We Love Life (EU version) was a limited LP release and why so much demand/over value for it?? (PS my copy was purchased at SpinDizzy in Dublin)

It wasn't technically limited but there was perhaps an expectation that not many copies would need to be pressed because WLL was hardly in demand. The LPs always go for high prices because they are nice and are never readily available like CDs- they are deleted quite quickly.

Thanks, thats what I assumed. :)

Its just mind boggling I paid less than 10 euros for my copy five or so years ago and now its going for a lot more than that.

Oooh, I was never keen on them. My main memory was going in there circa 1996/97 and seeing the CD singles of Countdown and Lipgloss for £15-£20 when they were still available down the road at HMV for a fiver or less. In fact that's probably where they got them from. Shysters!

My favourite place to get Pulp vinyl (other than Ebay of course) was Jack's Records in Sheffield. Got a lovely copy of It there about 5 years ago for £12 or so, and other similarly nice stuff before that - a mint condition They Suffocate at Night 12" springs to mind.

Still not got hold of a My Lighthouse 7" though. They seem to come up on Ebay quite a lot now but go for ridiculous money. Nice little nest egg for Mrs Tony K!

Does anyone remember Green Man/ Opal Records in Carlisle? They were a good shop. Anyone have any suggestions for decent online stores?
