I thought I still had the German 45, but it turns out I sold it in 2017 after getting the Complete box. I must’ve thought the repro in the box was good enough and that the original was redundant (d’oh).
I do still have the German Line “Stop Me” CD single so I did an A/B with the original UK LP...
I picked a copy up in Toronto today. No OBI, number or even a hype sticker to indicate it's on green vinyl. Guy at the shop says it's being issued in Canada and Australia without the OBI.
Sold mine on Discogs before they banned it. Couldn't have been more than $40 USD. Black vinyl release as well. Seems to be trending around 20 quid based on recent Popsike solds:

All due respect, but the internet makes finding this stuff easy. The set can be had for $30 via Discogs:

This was mentioned in another thread on this very forum only a few days ago!
I can't decide if this, and the various LIHS LPs will...
It's a tempting offer. Some good stuff on that list including:
Christmas with the Canadian Brass
5 Julio Iglesias CDs
10 Enya CDs (!)
14 CDs from something called Starflyer 59
Jamie Foxx - The Best Night of My Life
I could mention more but I'm feeling overwhelmed.
Selling my copy of the French "There Is A Light" 45. This has been in my collection for 30 years, bought new at time of release. It's likely I only played this 2 or 3 times. Mostly I just had a gawk at it once in a while to admire the sleeve. My grading is conservative...
The "buy or no buy" for me really hinges on the contents of the DVD. If it's just the Jarman film and "The Boy..." clip I'm not interested. Too much of disc 2 is out there already either officially or unofficially to warrant a purchase if they skimp on the DVD.
