These days they say it's Rick Astley who's dead.

Dunno if the man finds it flattering to be in the 'so famous they say you're dead' league but perhaps it also shows the cranks have lowered the entry criteria.

Even more Beatles. So that's what my money's being vapourised on at last.

Hmmm. Those Rockband mixing sessions proved a bootleggers' goldmine.




Good God mate, a bootleg treasure chest.......

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Beatles-Antho ... 3cd469421d

.....with a pirates' asking price.





I didn't know this 1976 collection were actually remixes:

Though not everything is vital. Not even I could sit through all this:

And the LIVE AT THE BBC album was enough:

That set again:

Well you've got to admire the eccentricity of scraping together copies of every last tape known made at the Get Back filming, then putting 'em out in a box set one more time.

And mine for taking glee in piling through all this wonderful chaff. Or at least the out-takes and instrumentals would be in the case of most other bands.


Though bootleg collectors do end up finding half their albums contain the exact same stuff as the ones they bought years ago. But even here, they can find the quality does improve. And of course, there are official releases in the Far East which seem as delicious at bootlegs, like Yesterday And Today, with its alternate mixes and handful of instrumental session tracks tacked on the end.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-BEATLES-I ... 3cd4a954f1



I recommend ULTRA RARE TRAX and the ALTERNATE collections as sets, though I doubt I'll be disappointed with my Rubber Soul and Rock Band discs.






And let's not forget a flood of free stuff even on Youtube.

Well, a pinnacle of the computer owner's craft all this.

Yeah. Though less luck finding one of these:

Image

http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/20060717 ... coffee-64/


The guys on here are so much cooler than me. I bet they all had one of these. In every room.




Though there is an old weather station, ubiquitous as ever they were. The weather must have been so sexy then for people to want to hook it to their computers.

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Haws-Home-Aut ... 3cd51181ec




But if you're talking sexy, just look at that cover:

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Input-Magazin ... 27ce8fb4b6



These Zzaps would be a lucky buy at 99p for the bundle: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 3f28b1d095

Just like a few Disk User copies with the disks: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_trksi ... &_from=R40



And look at all those cheap RUNs, though you do pay a hefty posting charge: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 19e14e1049







One-stop shops:

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 19bd30538c









I really do recommend this disk:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 3cd522e414





Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COMMODORE-64- ... 5af49e0b6e




And something to run 'em on:

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 3a842ac970



And this for a fiver? Ebay is cheap on a good day.

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Commodore-64- ... 4171977%26





Cheap Philips too.

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-PCL20 ... 6531182%26

More than enough to run Star Commander.






And here's a real living memory. A true legend:

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amstrad-PCW82 ... 3384f41944







...But stuff my a**e, a half-grand Atom:

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-VINTAGE- ... 4171977%26







And £300 for a Simpsons arcade game? Well, CSDB for me then.

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/THE-SIMPSONS- ... 3cd4772bae

http://csdb.dk/search/?seinsel=all&sear ... -115&Go=Go

Old people comedy had become very contemporary by the '90s. Summer Wine led in the '70s when it was actually sharp and satirical. Well, for Summer Wine. After all this came Still Game.

Well, I'm interested anyway.

Ooooooh.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pushpin-midi- ... 8032874%26



Though would a chiptune freak get off best with that jammed right up his bum or this?


Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KORG-Monotron ... 3179162%26


I wouldn't mind either right now. I mean he wouldn't.




Though with any electro sodomy contest ending in a tie, we could plump for this instead:

Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-KORG-KAOS ... 3a847ce874

That would definitely throw the show.

Whoa.....

If my museum had nothing in it yet, I think I would.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wayfar-Midine ... 53fd299a25


That's a nice cart. I'd like to add a Chip Maestro to my collection.

And the flash kit seems pretty impressive too. No meddling with Eproms these days, though I would want one which supports emulator save states: http://www.stoneagegamer.com/everdrive-n8-nes-bo.html


Image

Would need an adapter though: http://www.retrocollect.com/News/krikzz ... lable.html

This should be alright: http://www.retrousb.com/product_info.php?products_id=34



Image
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-PlayStat ... 2a3108e285

And to get with the now wave, a Playstation 4. For £950. They must think we're morons.

(EDIT: Price cut now by £200. Must have overcharged.)
