Hi, I have been a long time lurker but have now decided to register. I have a pretty good mo wax vinyl collection , mostly the twelve inch singles, which I bought when they came out. I didn't buy the lps except for shadow and unkle and headz 1 and 2, much to my regret. However, I am now rectifying that using discogs etc. My question is, to help me justify the cost of buying now, what were the original lps prices. Were the standard double lps something like £14? What was the major force original art form box cost? And the excursions blue and green boxes? I seem to recall that the headz 2a and 2b boxes were about 30 pounds each. They are prized in my collection, still looking as good as the day they were purchased.
on the off chance that some forum members would be looking to offload any vinyl spares for reasonable prices, please let me know. I am uk based.

I didn’t buy vinyl back then, but I can remember paying about £13 for the Sukia album on CD and I distinctly remember paying over £16 at HMV for MW CDs with nicer packaging once they hit the back catalogue.

I remember paying at least £30 for the Headz 2 and MFW boxes. Albums were generally around £15 and singles £7

The Excursion box was an odd one as you got the box with one of the 12"s and then the others were all sold individually if I remember correctly. I remember wanting the box but not wanting the 12" that it came with so I only ever bought a few of them individually
