Description
There's a very humble Australian U2 collector, who's been fanatically amassing one of thee largest collections of U2 items in the entire world...there'd be very few of you who may have encountered him, certainly, if you have, you'd be unlikely to know - he never mentions his passion just simply forks out for what he wants and moves on his way, with no fuss and no ego. I had a record store in Sydney for over 20 years (till 1998), and for most of that time, and for the years since, he's been an ardent customer and I've been privileged enough to have been solicited on his behalf to scour the world for U2 items, helping him amass that collection. He's also travelled extensively himself and has often returned with several suitcases extra, full of the latest booty he's uncovered. His collection includes every official 7", 12", 10", LP, cassette, CD, DVD, DAT, CDV, etc...etc...that he can lay his hands on from every single country that manufactured U2 items (and yes, there ARE gaps of course)...plus he tried to obtain every NON-official vinyl, CD, cassette, DVD in existence as well. If one word deviated on any given release from the same country, he collected that edition as well (for example, there are about 5 or 6 different inserts to the Aussie cassette version of "October" - very marginal differences only - he has them all).
He has items of which only ONE exists like the yellow and black 'oil-slick' vinyl Australian 12" of "The Fly"...and the red and black 'splatter' vinyl Aussie 12" of "Mysterious Ways"...both are legendary pieces...as is the Aussie red vinyl 12" of "Mysterious Ways" (with a small black sliver)...of which only two exist...he has them both. (There's a story that goes with these 4 items.) And the list goes on.
Just recently he told me his priorities had changed, and he's asked me to help find appreciative new homes for some of the stuff he's loved for so long. This 45 below, is the first of those:
