Some of you have been talking about it a while ago. I liked the ext. version of Traction but before I spend 15-20 Euros to let a vinyl copy be shipped across the ocean I'd like to know what I get[:D]. If anybody could post the B-Side and the short version of traction.
Cheers, Plastik

If you can wait a bit, I'll try to get it done this summer. I think I know how to do the rip now, I just don't have the time to do it at the moment.

And, yikes, 15-20 Euros? Thanks for reminding me why I never buy anything from Germany!

I can wait. I think some people try to attract customers with a low bid price and keep some of the postage costs for themselves.

Obviously. Unless it's on ePay, in which case it's often fee avoidance.

I concede sellers minimal handling charges (that preferably go towards new LP mailers and professional packing and not some of the tampon boxes and used tissues I've received things in), but grotesque handling is a no-sale. But even if they charge exact postage, it's still expensive to ship a 12" to another country. Very sad when you find a good deal on some record from a seller overseas and then the shipping cost just swoops in and kills it. Having 7" singles shipped is a little less painful.

Luckily for me, I have a select circle of favorite U.S. sellers on ePay and gemm who provide free media mail shipping on larger orders. So I don't have to buy from Europe too much.

Will try to get those rips done this month.

I've just been thinking about this one again and still haven't heard it. Have you been able to convert it during the summer, Somewhere...?
Or anybody else?
