cassette tape values

never seen them in any of the'good' record shops in Aberdeen before.

I only collected vinyl at the time, but kept them coz the postcards and stuff were cool.

I spose these are worth something but wouldna sell em.

I picked up my Sunstance linen boxed version in Woolworths some time after it had been released as well! Think I read somewhere that most of the linen boxes for this release were sold by them

I didnt know there's a 2-tape version - my 'REST OF' is a single cassette version and it looks good displayed next to my 'BEST OF' cassette. So, this hard-to-find 2-tape version - I supposed has a silver background (like the 2-CDs version) instead of white?

The 2-tape version was the UK release. Referring to the Ivarsson discography, it looks like you've got the single-tape Canadian release.

We only got this on CD as far as I can remember.

I'm still after the 2-tape version, but you don't see them come around that often on eBay, etc.

That Dave Clarke mix is also on the 2xLP, which I do have. Not the CD though. Another pressing you don't see so often these days.

Well you should have bought THIS ONE. Except I did.

Leather bed? Mannequin? Digital camera?

Strewth!

The mind boggles as to what sort of stuff is going on in that spare room, OB.

Peter Saville's tedious WHITE obsession (too much cocaine old son?) started with the New Order Factory Box cassette releases. It's all very well having them in this splendid format but then most of them invariably go horribly yellow and brown with all those awful ageing spots. I've yet to see any on Ebay that are absolutely pristine.

well let's see what Discreet Campaigns is worth...

...especially now I've drawn attention to it

Funny innit.....what? Piles you dimwit.........

You dont see many of tyhe factory tapes these days, unless you are prepared to hunt through box upon box in chazza shops that is!

I had ALL the factory tapes and the original fac cd's but they went to the second hand market when i was skint! mind you so did the depeche cds and vids that mrs bought me!

As for the dats, i can see tem fetching over £100 a peice in the next 10- 15 years,especially the sealed ones. Come to think of it ,i think i have a sealed technique dat and the substance dat in orignal cover and the jd subsatnce dat,have i missed any?

I have the Technique one but never been able to play it. Bit like the vids on the CDVs actually

I've traded a few of the Factory linen-box tapes over the years, they're one of my favourite items. Most of the ones I have are actually fairly white, mind you they've been bagged for years. You do still see some fairly pristine ones occasionally.

Not quite the full article, that. It should have a clear vinyl pouch and booklet with it.
