Hey you,

I do have the French cd single of Fading Like A Flower. I bought it for 25 euros on Ebay. The DBUGTTC LP unfortunately is not part of my collection yet. Hope to find it someday.
Anyway, the FLAF cd single is for sale on Ebay at the moment for the ridiculous price of 150 euros. Take a look:

I think one should never pay that much for any item but that’s my humble opinion.

I have the DBUGTTC 2.LP.but sorry...it’s absolutely not for sale! A friend of mine could order that back in 1995 in her fave record-shop. So we just paid a normal price. Didn’t know that it’s that rare to be honest.
Good luck with “hunting”...:)

Roxette-atic said on October 7, 2007 14:55:

Congratulations to you both: you own my dream items hahaha. Sandy: I remember not to long ago you wrote that you didnt have Fading france: you must have found it the last months right?? yea 150 euro is tooo much,,,:(. Rene Rebhan sells this....is tat guy OK?? I just ordered Look sharp PIC CD from him ( 50 euro).
You are so lucky to have found Dont Bore Us on LP hehe. I have nevere seen it for sale...at least I have seen fading like a flower france a couple of times...

CRIZ said on October 7, 2007 15:17:

Rene is okay! I bought many things from him! Never had any problems! Nice guy!

I wouldn’t say NO to the french FLAF too but not for 150 Euro! ROFL!! I also would like to have this promo edition with that rose on the cover..looks great but I’ve never seen it somewhere for sale..but I also stopped checking ebay for some months now

Roxette-atic said on October 7, 2007 16:13:

It has apperead on ebay a couuple of time lately. Check it out=).
Good to know Rene is okay, even if he is sellin flaf frace toooo expencive.

Gachy said on October 7, 2007 16:45:

Is René the guy that used to bid on his own items (using another account) to increase the price even more? I’ve read about it some time ago.

I just checked that alternative cover of FLAF, and it’s not that special. I prefer the common one. Besides the tracks are exactly the same, I wonder who’s going to invest 150 euro in a piece of cardboard.

Roxette-atic said on October 7, 2007 17:21:

I would If I had the money..... I prefer the black cover=). At least I have that one in 7” singel...

sandyam said on October 7, 2007 18:51:

Yes Rene is alright. He can be trusted. I have bought from him many times without any problems.

Gachy said on October 8, 2007 01:01:

The fact you had no problems doesn’t mean he’s 100% honest. If he bidded on his own auctions (in order to get a bigger profit) I’d think twice before buying from him. And the French sleeve is awful, if you ask me. That’s what I call “5 minutes of MS Paint”...

Roxette-atic said on October 8, 2007 18:01:

I recieved Look sharp pic disc today. No problems with rene=)
Fading like a flower blak sleeve is great...mostly beacuse its so original.

Gachy said on October 8, 2007 20:36:

It’s different... but no better. You just want it for the sake of having it. To look at the cover for 20 seconds, and put it in a shelf to gather dust.

rossyrox said on October 8, 2007 22:14:

I have a 2LP of DBUGTTC - was it also available as a gatefold as mine is 2 LP’s in individual sleeves in 1 big sleeve.

I also have a strange CD version of DBUGTTC where the insert is a calendar, I think it’s dutch but I can’t find my Roxette book with all the info in so don’t know if it was rare - I’m guessing not as I got it in a cd shop.

I won’t go on about my other rarities as I was accused of boasting last time!

AntiMario said on October 9, 2007 13:26:

I also have the digipack version of DBU’95 but it had no calendar inside :(

Or was it mega-rare? Haha! :D

rossyrox said on October 9, 2007 14:13:

Was the calendar supposed to come in the digipack? My calendar is simply an alternative to the normal booklet in a normal CD case.

Is it possible it had fallen out of a digipack and someone in the shop put it in a normal case?

Roxette-atic said on October 9, 2007 14:59:

@Gachy: i dont expect non-collectors to understand why its so important to have all the diffrent releases for us collectiors. Its just the way it is. yes I want it just fopr the sake of having it, so what?? Thats the point of being a collectior:P. Now....please someone tell me where to find dont bore us 2-LP hehehe=)-

sandyam said on October 9, 2007 15:18:

I totally understand you, roxette-atic.
By the way, I love the French cover of FLAF. I think it even might be my favourite looking item.

Gachy said on October 10, 2007 11:09:

So, get a life guys. Die-hard collecting is ok for brainless teenagers, but when you are in your 30’s, it looks a little ridiculous...

Roxette-atic said on October 10, 2007 15:03:

Thats ok thats your opinion. I think people who are telling others what to do, and not do, are much more ridiculous ; )

CRIZ said on October 10, 2007 15:13:

That is typical for TDR forum again...nobody accepts other opinions! But you start to argue....*shakinghead*
I wonder WHO really has to come alive here!!

Gachy..are stamp collectors who pay 100 Euros for 4 rare stamps for you also sick in the head???....my dad is over 60..... nothing more to add.
I don’t understand lots of hobbies from other people too but I don’t judge about them. I just say: Cool..you have passion.

rossyrox said on October 11, 2007 09:35:

Gachy, I’m only 29.

Collecting at this level is much easier now as I couldn’t afford the things I wanted as a teenager!

Roxette-atic said on December 6, 2007 18:18:

HEY everybody I just bought Dont bore us- get to the chorus 2-LP from ebay for only 18 Euro!!! FINALLY!!!! :D
@sandy: I still owe you for that The Look 95 casette ( remember?!) I have Pers new single for you for free if you are intreseted. Just give me your adress and Ill send it to you. Bye!

sandyam said on December 6, 2007 20:58:

Wow, you lucky one!
Hmm, you owe me something? Can’t really remember.
Anyway, you don’t have to send me anything. Just let me know when you see another copy of the Don’t bore us LP, alright? I am still looking for that one too.
Hope we can trade again someday!
