each is 1000

[tommyboy]

how did you find this out

[GB]

they said in the store, it said it on the system that HMV have that i read, and all the copies i looked at ranged from the mid 200's to mid 500's, all different, all numbered,. on the HVM sticker is also says 'special purchase'

[bullet]

wonder why they would limit them to 1000 each...

not like the dirty funker one then, this one sounds a bit more considered and some great colour ways as well

[GB]

they do look sweet, a shame they are not totally a matt finish like the brown DF sleeve. but good all the same.

[bullet]

Is the silver actually metallic?

['bric]

Oh dear. Not again.

Good way to sell 4 copies of a sh1t record to a load of idiots though.... got to admire DJDM for that!

[bullet]

anyone else want to repeat the record and say 'oh dear not again'.

Not again what? Not again you have spent money on something you thought may go up in price or oh dear you dont like the image?

buy it if you like it, simple.

[fuzzed]

Yeah I agree with Jboy here, if you don't like it or want the image don't buy it. If you do, do buy it!
What's with all the haters here?!

Fucking hell, how old are people here? Calling anyone who thinks this stunt stinks of shit, a scam by some crappy musician to flog some of his rubbish records 'haterz'.

Jesus. Times like this I realize why a certain other forum is more popular amongst those of a slightly greater level of maturity.

Sure, do buy the record if you like the image that much.

The problem was last time (Radar Rat) when people (were led to) believed they were official Banksys and paid several times the original price on ebay.

thats their own fault to be honest.

Exactly, apparently if you can't afford the price of the original, don't bother.

whilst i was a student thousands weren't required, but yes, i did spend a fair bit.

i don't particularly want to argue with you mishco, you know your stuff -but i'm afraid i won't see the point or attraction of these. ever.

i really cant see where all the bad vibes come from?, its a good image, smells of elitism and i have a few banksy original prints, not signed ones im afraid:( but still happy to get a set of these

(In response to I would follow you..)

Thats fair enough, totally appreciate a comment like that, but for some it's the only option to owning a print/banksy image for now. It does come across a tad ignorant to other people, who like myself cannot afford to purchase an original, when you slag them off for buying it, suggesting it only counts to own an original, and if you don't, you're not street art fan. As cubrik says, the original itself probably wasn't that expensive itself, especially relative to today's price.

[cubrik]

bmjt i like the image especially the keep it real side

i was a bit harsh there bmjt, don't take it personally

my real issue is the cynical appropriation of a banksy image to sell records, along with dubious marketing "limited to 1000" to fuel a frenzy

not trying to be elitist, i feel very lucky that i found out about this work when i did.

if banksy was worried about making money, he would not paint his work in public where it can be photographed/stolen/ripped off for other peoples gain.

There is no copyright on banksy stuff as its all illegal...

No worries 'I would follow you...' mate, totally understand your viewpoint, a wholly rational and reasonable one. I quite possibly did take it too personally. Just wish i'd been around to snap up some of his early work.

[griffermans]

what a sad squabbling bunch you all are. shame on you.
