Not much Soundgarden around, but I managed to obtain some items. I bought BMF on vinyl, BIMH 4494/5000 white vinyl (up for trading) and then I came across UMOK on yellow vinyl!! I bought it for only $20 in mint condition! I also bought a Faith No More promo interviewdisc. Then I cleaned the fair out for everything Alice In Chains I could find. Promos: Heaven Beside You (cd), A selection of tracks from the Dirt (cd) and 12" Would? on green vinyl. Other: Facelift on vinyl, 12" Down In A Hole, 7" 'strictly limited edition' Down In A Hole picdisc, 7" Grind on green vinyl no.5020. And then I came across another 12" green of Would? AND (anybody still with me) it included Right Turn as a b-side. So now I finally got Alice Mudgarden on vinyl! Can somebody help me with what this AIC-stuff is worth? (I know it's a question for the AIC-list, but I'm not a member there). Anybody who's interested in that BIMH-single (trading only), email me. Andy "A rational man might think we're religous...
