DOOKIE, The Collection is Complete......For Now



I have finally finished the Green Day vinyl collection. I have purchases every 7, 10, 12 inch singles and picture discs as well as all of the albums on LP. I have finished this collection with the Dookie LP. I have been after this one for years and had to pay a hefty amount for it but its worth it to have the complete collection. Apparently they are coming out with a 7inch for The Saints are Coming Single with U2 so I will have to pick it up on CD and vinyl. I approximate that my Green Day Vinyl collection is probably worth around three grand by now so hopefully Green Day continues to be successful so that it will be worth more later. But until then....
cheers

Streetcore



My latest addition to the old record collection is Joe Strummers final album with the Mescaleroes. It was actually finished by then after he had died. Bought this puppy on EBay and have never seen it on vinyl before so I guess I got lucky. I just need Rock Art and X Ray Style on vinyl and then I have them all. This appears to be the year to finish collections. Its' all finally coming together, now I just need a house to store it all. To any Clash fans check this out. It is a very unique blend of genres with the legendary Strummer vocal.....RIP on this Friday the 13th
