New Wave Outpost Forum

Hello!
I can't find any info about
1)Scary Thieves - Game Of Love
2)Touch - Heartbeat
3)The Radiance - What Goes On
4)Vital Signs - Trading In
Do you know if they exist on LP/12"/or 7" ?
I appreciate any help!

AFAIK Scary Thieves - Game of Love was never officially released. Their unreleased album was leaked a few years ago and includes the song.

Thank you for the fast reply Brambo.Useful information!
Now,what about the others?

If you've got about $500.00 U.S., we can talk about the Vital Signs single.

wow. sounds like your looking to make more money off the record than the original artists.

Thank you eight6.I didn't know about this single.

It's a joke...I don't sell records. In fact, I usually just give away duplicates if I see somebody is looking for an item I have multiple copies of. Ask around.

The $500.00 price is reflective of what somebody would most likely have to pay to acquire a copy.

It will be a tough one to find...I've only seen it for sale on eBay twice: both times by the same vendor. (from the U. K.)

Two left:
Touch - Heartbeat
The Radiance - What Goes On

If I were a rich man, I'd pay $500 for the Vital Signs single (for "Miracles"). But I'm not. I wish I had seen those 2 auctions, because I checked eBay for over a year -- just because I was curious what it would go for -- plus all the online music stores, and never even turned up one copy. Besides, even if I were rich, I probably couldn't outbid "klumpa."

Did we ever find out anything about this band? As best as I can make out from that pic, there's a songwriter/producer by the name of Iain Macdonald. I can't make out the other names.

This is true. eight6 is cool about sharing/ giving away some truly hard-to-find music. I still have never found any Paris Working material out there, and I am thrilled that eight6 hooked me up.[:)]
Anyway,
on another note: man, that sure is one boring sleeve design for such a cool song "Trading in Guilt".

The guy I bought it off of goes by the eBay vendor name "yekserves". I've bought a lot off of him...he seems to have an endless supply of records to peddle; many VERY rare, all in great shape. He sold both of the copies of Vital Signs I've seen up for sale on eBay. I think klumpa won the first one for over $500.00, mine was a "bargain" at a mere $370.00 U.S.

I'm thinking he had told me a bit about the band in one of the e-mails we exchanged, but I've long since forgotten what that might have been. You could drop him a line via eBay, he's pretty approachable.

Thanks for the blown-up pic. If I ever win any of that guy's auctions, I'll ask him.

dang eight6! I thought I was bad with the prices I've paid for some of my music pieces! I think the most I've ever spent on one piece was about 100. 370 is crazy! Must be a really great track. What subgenre of new wave would you describe it as?

I like to call pieces like that Investment Wave. As strange/foolhardy/stupid (you pick) as it seems, the $370.00 doesn't even rate in the top ten price wise.

You know, I think I need a new hobby.

Actually, the Vital Signs is probably best slotted into the minimal synth genre, esp. the A-side.
