some girls never settle down

Girls At Our Best! - Fast Boyfriends (1981)

There's no point me posting a CD buying link unless you happen to have ~~a spare $400~~. But try Ebay, ~~Gemm~~ or Musicstack for the MUCH cheaper original vinyl. (Update: Pleasure has since been reissued).

Good grief! Now I know which CD in my collection is worth the most. Gemm has all the original vinyl stuff at more affordable prices.

This is a great CD, though $400 is a bit much. Is there any CD out there that anyone would pay more than $400 for -- much less $100? Actually I bought this very CD used on Amazon a couple years ago. At the time none were available, so I put in a request. A few months later I got a response from a seller willing to part with a copy -- for 10 dollars!

You're right, CDs don't seem collectable enough to pay anywhere near that. Glad you nabbed a bargain. I found the LP online after writing this for £10 and promptly bought it!
Pip - good idea, I'll put in a Gemm link. I see they have the Peel sessions. Has anyone heard these? Do you know if they're online anywhere?

I've got their first 3 singles on vinyl (I was playing "Politics!" the other day funnily enough) but sold my copy of the album many years ago. What an idiot I feel now!

Sorry to hear you're worn out! I'm sure keeping a nice blog can't be easy... Was The Girls At Our Best song supposed to be posted incomplete? -Buldog

I had the 7" 45 of "Girls at our Best" b/w "Getting Nowhere Fast." I got rid of my entire vinyl collection when I moved from NY to SF in 1991(too expensive to ship). Now I kick myself every day. Oh well. Great band.

Fixing the link now. Why didn't anyone else tell me? There's been so many downloads.
Yikes - I've pretty much made it my motto to never sell anything (except for the utter crap). You always regret it.
Someone buy this ffs: http://cgi.ebay.com/Pleasure-Girls-At-Our-Best_W0QQitemZ4882003202QQcategoryZ58622QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
£3! Oh and btw, the CD is even pricier on Amazon UK - £300.
