^^ I'm'a go out on a limb here and say you copped either the CDR or tape version of 'Days before it happened'...
No, but I do fancy getting my hands on it.
Check out the Yellow wax...and signed by the man himself. He's a top bloke, but sadly he was saying that he's having to increase shipping as of today as USPS is killing business by cashing in on the popularity of vinyl sales...the bastards.

It doesn't really have anything to do with the popularity of vinyl - USPS are simply raising their international shipping rates yet again. I agree it's a MAJOR pain in the ass though, as postal services across the board seem to be doing this more frequently every year.
It's bad enough we have to think twice about buying anything from abroad (read: outside the EU) because there's a good chance we'll be stung (read: ripped off) by customs...

Aye, it's not good news for the likes of us...but we have to keep supporting (as much as it pains us).
Vinyl might well stop being produced one day (perish the thought), but I'm f***ed if it's going to be in my lifetime.

If you ever need anything from over here I might be able to help out - shipping FROM here seems to be cheaper than most other countries... (It actually costs less to send 1-2 records to the other side of the world than it does to mail a package locally.)

That's dope, haha. Lovin' that sh*t. I had one of those when I was a kid, but I think it met a garage-sale end in the early 90's (along with the early Lego Star Wars stuff like the Ewok Village).OceanMan said:
you knew it was coming... hard to believe this thing is even real.
now if i only could find my old Fisher Price player... lost forever, i fear.
When I got older and watched the birth of eBay and people clamoring for old toys, I was feeling mad amounts of regret for those garage sales.
Just checked it out though, and the prices don't seem too bad to cop one:

^ for real man.
i had a perfectly preserved *functioning* Commodore 64 in storage at my folks place, with all the fixin's... floppy disk drive, joysticks, you name it. hell, i even had the old school cassette drive for it, along with loads of working software and games.
turns out my folks sold it at a yard sale while i was off sailing for (brace yourself) $25.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK
pretty sure my original FP player went out the door during the same disastrous day.

I see you've decided you only need one T-shirt and are spending all the rest of your money on ltd. releases? (Or do you put on the "P stamp" tee for our benefit every time you take snapshots of your SOS vinyl..? Can't be a coincidence you're wearing it in every one of those last pics, haha. 
)

my Land of 1000 Chances LP took forever to get here... i was starting to fear it was lost in customs.
what a beautiful package!
some other new goodies:
ReDef's been coming up with some real nice colored wax lately, this one is see-thru orange. (great beats, too!)
and if there's one thing i love as much as good HipHop, it's pre-Bob Marley Fame Jamaican music...
