Pricey Pleasures: A Huge Ever Growing Joy Division

Pricey pleasures are the ones you know you SHOULDN’T purchase, but there you are, reaching for your wallet anyway. Today’s winner comes courtest of Eli.com, who at the time this is written have only one single, solitary copy of The Orb’s three-song 12-inch single for A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre Of The Ultraworld. This would be the 1990 UK reissue 3-track 12″ vinyl single including Loving You Orbital Mix, Bucket & Spade Mix & Why Is Six Scared Of Seven. Final price for this tasty bit of Orb fun? More than $40 worthless US dollars after shipping.

My, oh, MY! That’s well above ten dollars per song. Granted, it’s an all-time favorite, but this is one instance where common sense seems to be winning out over my vinyl fetish. Besides, for about the same money I can pick up a Joy Division double album set of Martin Hannett’s personal mixes on 180 gram blue vinyl. Mmmmm, tasty.
