Soft Cell's 12'' Mix Single box set

I went shopping on Tuesday again in Amoeba, I was so stoked at finding a rare PSB item, so I thought to try again,  again the vinyls are going to be used as decors on my wall. Anyway, they didn't have any but they did have a Soft Cell single box set. I was looking in the Collector's items box they have on display and what do you know they had this, for it to be it's price and out of print, it was not too bad! It was under $100 and the lady on the counter gave me another discount, knowing I'm a fan of the older music! it's too cool! Being young rocks! Yes, folks Soft Cell are known, may not be by others who gotten annoyed by me mentioning them a lot of whatever the case maybe. But they had something like this in the store, I was actually thinking of getting Heat: The remixes but I kept hearing it was a flop, so I didn't bother to get it, so I gotten this instead.  It's basically all of Soft Cell's singles from back then on CDs with extra songs of course. I also bought a Linkin Park item but I will post that in my Jaleen81 Favorite Moments blog very soon so stay tuned! The colorful thing you see in the background is my laptop case, it's dark over here so I needed something to make the photo stand out. I guess I am a collector but I like unique items, items you can't find anymore, and so far I have been striking blessings or luck or something! I'm totally grateful too, I honestly didn't think I would find these items anywhere! They are also called 12'' Maxi CD singles too. 

Strangest thing happened today!

                                                                                                      After my Business English class was over, I decided to go to the record store, since my next class was in four hours. I was listening to some music and when it was time to get off the bus to my destination, the song “Pet Shop Boys” was playing and the next thing I know, the 12” of the original “West End Girls” vinyl was there; The same one that’s in a series that was produced by Bobby Orlando and the record label Epic.! A friend told me it was the pre frame releases as well and is really rare! I don’t know how it’s possible, I have been very fortunate with items lately it’s crazy, what startled me was the fact the song was playing on my iPod. I was talking about religion in a PSB group, I don’t know was it because of it or pure chance or the late Watson saw my tribute post about him. I don’t think that’s possible because of that but thank God that’s all I have to say!  It only has two songs the extended mix of the original “West End Girls” and “Pet Shop Boys”. It was only $10!!! I also found a single that’s two songs in one CD “Se A Vida é (That’s the Way Life is)" and “To Step Aside”. It’s the CD5 Maxi Single; it reminded me of my 2x12 remixes Vinyl with the two different color vinyls inside so I thought why not match it up!  Of course they had some nice Soft Cell items too one is the single of “The Night” which is a cover of a Frankie Valli song. Apparently it’s a 2-CD type edition but I only have the first one, it only have three songs “The Night”, “Perversity” and the Almighty mix of “The Night”. The single of “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye 91” which have the original “Numbers” and an extended track of “Torch” and finally Soft Cell vs. Club 69 with “Tainted Love”. I can around a pretty good deal on a day of school! I don’t know I might make a trip back there soon! Again I’m truly thankful about these items, I’m still in shock I’m actually owning another rarity!

My updated Pet Shop Boys Collection as of May 18, 2012

I deeply apologize for the delay of posts, it's close of finals and end of spring semester for me in college. I am currently working on posts about the tragic events known as Donna Summer's passing, it wouldn't be right If I didn't include her in my blog plus there's relation too, I need to add as well so please stay tuned and then more! I am however, posting my updated collections my Pet Shop Boys collection as well as my Soft Cell/Marc Almond collection. I recently purchased Very Further Listening, a friend of mine Clare told me about it, even though the person who sold this to me didn't tell me the truth about the item, it's not used like new, but they do play and thankfully the booklet was there, for it's price. I love the music, but I also like to read what it's all about too. If you go to my page of my collection, you will see all that others that bought me items you see here. Not all were brought by me, they were shocking gifts by sweet fans!! I never really ask for things, I like to find them on my own. I just thought I do an update you'll also see that some are missing, but I really sold them because I gotten the Further Listenings and trade them in for store credit so whenever I can find some more items! I like to get my money's worth and the enjoyment of art.
Again will post actual posts quite soon, but for now enjoy seeing my collection spam!!

 I also tried my best putting them in Chronological order the best way I can, so If they do look a bit off, I truly apologize. But I think I did alright with it.

A little update!

After going through some minor issues, a fan friend texted me about Record Store Day and she was looking for High Contrast by Logistics on vinyl and another band called London Electricity, unfortunately they didn't have it over here and usually Amoeba would have a good source of rarities. The clerk even told me they didn't have it but had everything else of theirs, the lines were packed like crazy. Lord knows I tried! Anyway, I came across these items, the two above me Essential and The Maxi-CD Collection of the Pet Shop Boys are limited/out of print items and boy it was another smashing moment, it guess it was good karma because I helped a friend out and then by chance had these items. The Soft Cell/Marc Almond CDs are pretty common, I did own the Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret with the blue outline before but it was all scratched up and I finally gotten another copy there's a description in there that I like so I thought why not get it again, I can't find the original one I have, so I have four versions of Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. The Idol looked artsy and there's two live versions of two songs I like from Marc Almond   which is pretty cool to get, they did have other material but I have them or I haven't test the album yet, Marc Almond wise. I'm really excited I own these, never thought I see the day I find valuables such as these!! 

New Blog!

This blog is simply about all the unique items I have in my little collection!
Hope you have time to look around, enjoy!
I'm still adding posts on it.

New Soft Cell/Marc Almond CDs

Again sorry for the upside down photo, this is my CDs I gotten from Amoeba
Adored and Explored, Non Stop Erotic Cabaret deluxe edition, and Stories of Johnny.

My Soft Cell/Marc Almond collection as of now

If I had my other CDs that I messed up and misplaced, I think my collection would be a bit bigger but no worries, when I see good deals, I'll be back!

My PSB collection updated officially at the moment

Since Release just came in the mail, I thought to just update what I have as of now. I seriously can't get over the deals I have been getting lately. I'm Slowly getting there though, I need to update my list again for my new arrivals. Trust me, Pet Shop Boys, and Soft Cell aren't the only bands I listen to, I still go on YouTube and listen to other artists as well, since I have no iPod. No worries though, its all good! Now onwards to my Soft Cell/Marc Almond updated collection

A collection update

I haven't posted this when it first came in, but now it's up. I received Nightlife a few days ago and now I am currently waiting for: Format, Bilingual, Memorabilia:the Singles, Treasure Box, Introspective, Pet Shop Boys vs. america, and In Search of Pleasure Palace. I know I mention I was on a goal for the books but I changed my mind due to the price increasing. I also thought to mention so other Fantastic info, my only living grandfather turned 82 today, he's still hanging in there and the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him, he have; however, a twist in one of his intestines, but he's doing much better, and also on the other note, I'm slowly getting into a band called Joy Division which was originally Warsaw and them after Ian Curtis took his own life, they continued as New Order. Two friends of mine told me fascinating info about them and I tested them out, they sound pretty good. I am going to purchase Under Review, I saw some clips on YouTube and since its really cheap, I thought to order it. I'll keep an updated tab on my collections and will do more art reviews pretty soon. Hope you enjoy what you have seen so far, whoever explores my blogs.
