Collectors! I know you're out there. Who has the craziest, most elaborate Frapp collection? Let's compare! Show us your rarest, hardest to find items, be it limited editions, rare vinyls, autographs, bracelets, books, iphone cases, etc! Let the sharing begin! Should be fun!
My collection isn't much as of YET but I'm starting to acquire some neat items. Starting to work on collecting every 12" Goldfrapp vinyl release, and frame them all (I loves a challenge). So far thanks to the loveliness of Ebay I've found Head First, Strict Machine (second ep, with the pink/purple background), Fly Me Away, Number 1 and Ride A White Horse.
Unfortunately Ebay doesn't have much, and amazon is always sold out (or offering Seventh Tree for $900, seriously) . Anyone know good websites where I can add to the collection? I'm trying to desperately find Lovely Head (i know, good freakin' luck) and all the albums on vinyl.
I'll share with you guys my most prized addition, a professionally silver framed copy of Head First, with a print, and the liner from the limited cassette signed by Alison and Will.
its a funny thing collecting, i have been collecting stuff from 12 years old now nearly 50..B-) ., it started with Gary Numan ,but with Numan I got to know, record dealers, shop staff and his mum, so I used to get tones of stuff.it just took over from there, different labels, covers, pressing plates, test pressing proof covers, then something happened, which I wont go into here, and in the mid 90's just before eBay I sold up, but then I decided not to collect anymore...,but then I saw the lovely head video and I got the passion for it again, then I really got back into the game when I saw The Killers support Numan in 2004 and that really did kick the habit back, so I would say its the thrill of tracking down a item, networking with other collectors, and finding the rare stuff, i trade stuff with people on the Killers forums as well as a few Frapp collectors on this forum, those guys know who they are and I think they would all say, that I am passionate about the bands I like....I think that sort of explains it,i don't smoke,i am s social drinker and can take it or leave it, give me a rare cd or vinyl over a fag or a pint any day....
Difficult this one, what to say yes I have a few Goldfrapp bits and pieces.
Slippage, yes all the vinyl albums other than Head First tend to fetch ridicoulsly high sums, makes me wonder if Mute shouldn't consider repressing them, and that way those who own them already can't be too pissed off, as original pressings always fetch more. I picked up Black Cherry on vinyl for less than £20, it was in a shop now closed down, well it was in near mint, so considering that's a bargain really. But I'll tell you what someone selling 7T for $900 is taking the piss, I reckon you can find it for a lot less if you look hard enough, don't necessarily quote me on that though.
My most desired item, probably that Mute demo CD someone was mentioning, or to be honest that Deluxe box for Tales of Us, can't get it, no way but doesn't mean it's not terribly desirable either

Err, yeah. I may have missed a few things here and there, and i'm not even starting on the live bootlegs i've got, we'd be here all week :P
eBay and Paypal take the piss with fees so i try to avoid selling stuff there as much as possible, if i was going to offload any Frapp stuff i'd post here but i'm too much of a hoarder to part with stuff unless i'm really desperate for cash :P
I adore my Special Edition cd/dvd of Seventh Tree. Such beautiful live performances and behind the scenes clips. A real treat. Not to mention the vividly beautiful slipcase it comes in ^_^
Some people don't even have Felt Mountain, actually it was hardest for me to find that one. Be proud you got ahold of a copy!
And as for The Singles you aren't really missing much, it's cheaper and more worthwhile to get it via itunes, you'll also get 2 bonus remixes not found on the cd.
