THE REASON I PUT THIS PAGE TOGETHER IS TO HELP MYSELF AND OTHERS IN FINDING OUT INFORMATION ON ALL OF SILVERCHAIR`S RELEASES. FOR PEOPLE WHO WISH TO COLLECT THERE IS NOT AN AWFUL LOT OF HELP HERE ON THE NET~FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU ARE AFTER A CERTAIN VERSION OF A SINGLE WHERE THERE ARE 5 DIFFERENT VERSIONS AVAILABLE, HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU`RE BUYING THE ONE YOU WANT WHEN YOU ORDER ONLINE? THIS IS WHERE CATALOGUE NUMBERS COME IN HANDY! I`VE BEEN LOOKING TO REALLY MAKE SOMETHING OF MY SILVERCHAIR COLLECTION FOR A WHILE NOW, AND I`M ONLY JUST STARTING TO GET SOMEWHERE. SO IF YOU`RE HAVING TROUBLE TOO HERE ARE A FEW TIPS YOU MIGHT FIND USEFUL.
1. RECORD FARES I`M PRETTY SURE THAT THERE ARE RECORD FARES ALL OVER THE PLACE...YOU ONLY HAVE TO FIND OUT WHERE THEY ARE. TRY LOOKING IN THE ADVERTS SECTION OF MUSIC MAGAZINES LIKE RECORD MART, Q, ROLLING STONE, NME..ANY GOOD MUSIC MAGAZINE OR EVEN YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER. FROM MY EXPERIENCE RECORD FARES ARE THE BEST WAY TO GET HOLD OF THINGS WHICH AREN`T READILY AVAILABLE AT YOUR LOCAL RECORD SHOP. AS LONG AS YOU`RE PREPARED TO LOOK THROUGH ALOT OF STUFF! MIND YOU, THE HARD WORK USUALLY PAYS OFF AND WHEN IT DOES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU EARNED IT.
2.SECOND HAND RECORD SHOPS IF YOU LOOK REALLY HARD YOU`RE BOUND TO FIND SOMETHING.
3.YOUR LOCAL RECORD SHOP IF YOU`VE MANAGED TO FIND OUT THE CATALOGUE NUMBER OF THE ITEM YOU WANT, YOU COULD ASK THEM TO ORDER THE ITEM IN FOR YOU. THIS USUALLY REQUIRES YOU PAYING A SMALL DEPOSIT AND COULD TAKE SOME TIME, BUT IT COULD BE WORTH IT IN THE END. THE ONLY DOWNFALL COULD BE THAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW HOW MUCH IT`S GONNA COST IN THE END.
4.ONLINE RECORD SHOPS THESE ARE A LIFE SAVER! THE ONLY THING I DON`T LIKE IS THE EXTRA COST OF POSTAGE, AND SOMETIMES THE LACK OF INFORMATION ON ITEMS. BUT USUALLY IF YOU ASK THEM WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW THEY CAN BE VERY HELPFUL.
5.TRADE IF YOU HAVE NO LUCK ANYWHERE, TRY GOING TO THE NUMEROUS SILVERCHAIR TRADING PAGES ON THE INTERNET. GREAT AS LONG AS YOU DON`T GET RIPPED OFF. BE CAREFUL.
