I actually got both from you! But maybe you had more than 1 extra copy as well. Either way, they are definitely prizes in my collection now.

I'm not looking to trade either right now, but I'd suggest just keeping an eye on Discogs. A buddy of mine sent me on a quest to track down a copy of the black Country Mike album and sure enough one popped up and I got it for a decent price. They do occasionally come and go.

Bigfatlove - definitely looking forward to the day when your Paul's Boutiques hit Ebay. That's gonna be NUTS. For anyone who's been sleeping on it, the Ebay Licensed to Ill scene has been 100% stacked recently thanks to this guy!

The Licensed. To Ill LP's are all listed. As soon as the 7" & 12" are done I'll start on Paul's Boutique.

I started listing Paul's Boutique stuff. This is the one people seem to be the most interested in.

Wow!

I something I never even knew that existed. Are there any digital recordings of the instrumentals floating around online somewhere?

Are those all the colour variations of the cassettes?

I haven't looked into whether or not there are rips of the cassette version online, but I know the Show Vinyl versions are out there as 320kbps MP3's. Sadly, I still can't find this one, but other than that one it's everything that I've been able to find.

Whoah, heavy hitting in here!!!

The Paul's Boutique era has hit Ebay....... God help us all.

But for real, everything rare about this time period is made extra rare by the fact that Capitol kind of took a big dump over the entire project and didn't promote it. I'm sure when they decided to press a bunch of multi-colored cassette tapes back in 89 they never would have thought that they'd sell for THOUSANDS of dollars thirty years later.

I always thought it was curious that no vinyl test pressings from the original 1989 release have emerged, at least as far as I know. I mean even Country Mike has a test pressing out there....

^^ That's a good point that I never really thought about. On top of that, the only 2 confirmed Licensed To Ill test pressings are from Argentina and the Philippines. There is this though.
