Well, it doesn't matter if something is a cliche to some bunch of oldtimers, it is still new to them. They are lucky in that regard, but unlucky that they are develop their interest after so much has already passed into obscurity and may be hard to find later. Yet it's strange to see releases that were in multiple copies in a store only 3 years ago going for so much in that auction we just saw, while other genres don't seem to appreciate in value that quickly (noise, experimental, jazz) solenoid@europa.com <------+
