Joy division - an ideal for living ( enigma 7) - how much?

Hi you lot , (especially JT ,as this was our main topic of conversation at the audley ),think i can get my hands on a copy (yes mint rocket b4 u ask!)of an ideal for living the enigma repress 7,But what i want to know is just how much is it worth?

The last anonymous copy went for about £600+ on ebay,so how much do you reckon this one is worth?

Come on old blue,rocket and some of the other norder professors,me needs an answer soon be4 it goes.

Cheers

Sorry mate, I've no idea - never paid big money, my 12" was £12 remember? No, you probably wouldn't. CHEAPY CHEAP is my motto. Hope the neck is better soon, get the flowers and chocs bought, see you next time.

According to the Rare Record Price Guide it's worth £600

eil.com will sell you one for £650.

If they had one, that is. :\ohwell:

Nice to see the Sordide Sentimental Atmosphere 7" up for £275 after I spent a weeks wages (£75) on a copy back in 1988.

you say the enigma repress 7"...

...well £30 then!

Yes, if it's the repress I wouldn't go more than £50. Of course if it's an auction then anything could happen if a few people want it.

Don't know if theres more than one pressing or format of this, but I saw a vinyl 12' EP of An Ideal for Living (1977 i think) in a record store off a backstreet on Oxford Street for £30. This was a couple of years ago - obviously it's gone now.

Don't pay bloody £650 - that's insanity! - Well, I think it is, but if you need it for the sake of your sanity then it isn't...

Go and scour market record shops - there's quite a lot out there who don't realise the true value of NO gems...

Hi jt, got it for just over the £12 ,na really paid a bit more for it than that but most def not £650 !

The neck is fine,its me fookin back and ribs that are STILL killing me,i could hardly walk satdi !

Flowers and chocs have been bought (not) but as she missed the bravery i promised to take her to see them the next time they play in the uk.

Paid just slightly more than £30, it is billed as a repress,but what i really want to know is which version came first, the anonymous copy or the enigma copy?

If the enigma copy was the original press then i thinks i needs to have a serious look at it when i recieve it,if it is a repress of a repress then i shal be getting my money back,but if its the original then i have gots me a bargain!

I'M sure there was a post regarding how to check the authenticity of the ifl presses,if anyone knows how to check if the copy is legit then lemmekno!

Regards

Done a bit more poking around regarding this one. It seems that the Enigma 7" was the ORIGINAL press,so therefore if the copy that i will soon be getting is LEGIT its worth £600+ !

Seems to good to be true at the mo,will post my findings once i recieve it.

check here to see what you got...

Enigma = 7" Anonymous Records = 12"

Sorry, I don't think you've made a bargain. Price is okay, but it is NOT a repress, IMHO it is a FAKE copy of the original, made to confuse people, and rip them off. I wouldn't buy any original now anymore, because you never can be sure if it is the real one. They are very hard to tell apart! Again, the repress is FRAUD IMHO! http://members.aol.com/lwtua/I3.htm
