My Mrs used to work in Rugby town centre
Her office would get a stream of visitors offering to sell goods ranging from televisions and videos, etc to jewellery and other small valuable items. The price, on asking, was always the same no matter what the item was: "tenner"

She did get to know Pete "Sonic Boom" Kember's dad through her work
Who was well used to such things disappearing from his house.

I bought their first 12" when I was a boy.
Numbered ltd edition, one side played at 33" and was a long version of Rollercoaster by 13th Floor Elevators. At some point I must have flogged, likely for pence - now worth over £100.

Bah.

Are you offering me a copy for a tenner?

I saw it on Netsounds for £95 about three years ago.
EDIT looking again it seems there must have been a US reissue as there are mint still sealed copies going for about a tenner over there.

Fuck me, 1986. I was 13 - what impeccable taste I had.
