Just got my copies of the first two Fall albums as reissued by them, wonderful packaging, and sound pretty good as well.
Found this website in the states that lists a load of them:

Some good prices on their for lots of stuff. Does anyone know of a UK supplier? Mind you the prices on their seem to be cheap. $29 for a Classic reissue, that'd be £25 over here. Even including P+P it seems to be a bit of a bargain...
The question remains do I want a box set of Sham 69 LP's..........

No you do not. Sham 69 made two good singles before they morphed into the Chas and Dave of Punk. punk77.co.uk (http://punk77.co.uk/groups/sham69.htm) summed it up nicely:
...but the flirting with all the social realism of football chants and skinhead fans reaped the inevitable reward of every gig an Altamont....There was no great come together of the working class...yawn. They swallowed the rhetoric but the realism swamped them. As punk followed Shams blueprint into the narrow corridor of oi/brutality and bonehead lyrics Jimmy was just a false hope out of his depth.

I think Diverse have got most of those - haven't priced up to compare though.

What a catalogue!!!
Is any of this stuff must available in Europe? It would certainly save on the import duty from the States.

they've go it all. Mind though, a couple of Get Back Gong re-issues I bought sounded as though they'd been mastered from vinyl and not totally sure just how legit some of their reissues are.
The earmark 'Germfree Adolescents' by X Ray Spex is fantastic quality though........

Oops, I seem to have bought some Agitation Free albums.

Hmmm. Do I get the 180g "Audiophile Grade" Vinyl or do I go for the cheaper and coloured (or clear) vinyl releases on 140g?
Oh hell its no dilemma! I'll get the coloured vinyl any time!
