£82.11! Who won it?

Not I. But check out this odd item:

Will Sergeant spinning top?!

Nice toy. Made in Argentina. Watch Will Sergeant of Echo & The Bunnymen spin round and around and around, in a lovely green spinning top.

You should tweet that oddity to Mr Sergeant himself, although I'm sure he reads this forum anyway.

Actually, he tweeted about it himself, ghostie. That's how I found out about it.

Oh yes, couldn't find it on my feed. Probably got buried amongst that "Twitter is taking a long time to load up" that seems to appear all the time. Last thing I read from Will was about being down the pub last night with Les, which is immediately above that tweet.

Replied to it, people do read Will's tweets!

Hope no-one has taped over it at some stage

Thanks, Mr, Sparkle!

No, he doesn't have it. I do. It's flown to other shores. The tape is safe and sound in America.

Congratulations! Have you had a listen?

What a find!! I have only gotten through song 1 and 2 so far.

The tape starts off with a little Kraftwerk-y excerpt and a chant/shout of sorts. Maybe Chinese? Not sure. Then it goes into "The Barbel Dreams" followed by "Seven Moons Glow."

That mad guitar that you can ever so slightly hear on the CD version of 'Barbel' is way more prevalent on the tape version. Sounds unbelievable!

I've found something way more exotic than the 'missing Beatles tapes.' £82 for this kind of enjoyment should not be allowed. So surprised it didn't go for more. The artwork on it is lovely. The back of the cassette has a little bit of the 'Warning/Delight' vibe to it. Still kind of surreal just looking at the tape.

Will post the tracklisting later this evening when I have more time to go through it properly with no distractions.

Congratulations. :smile:

I'm glad it's in the hands of a devoted fan.
