The first Quo album I ever purchased with my own money was 12 Gold Bars, 2nd hand vinyl copy. It ended up with a scratch on Break the Rules, I used to sit by the record player ready to gently bump the needle onwards when it got to that point, in order to stop it repeating the same phrase over and over.
I did eventually purchase another copy, and got another version of the album in the 12 Gold Bars 2 set. As such I don't feel any need to purchase a re-released, most likely quite expensive copy.

This is most likely aimed at those who don't have a vinyl copy, and it's actually quite reasonably priced at £16:99. Me? I'll stick to the first pressing that I bought out of Groucho's in Dundee in the early 1990s for about £2.

I got this album in 1980, but I was mistified why The Hello! album track of 'Roll Over Lay Down' was included, rather then the live ep recording, that charted in the UK top 10.

It was released a couple of years back on gold vinyl. A supermarket exclusive - Tesco I think. This release is an odd one but no doubt just Universal trying to capitalise on whatever it is they're trying to capitalise on. It's not record store day; that was the other week. Still got the original, which is largely unplayed because I had all the singles anyway. Most Quo compilations I have are more or less unplayed. Will I buy it? Not sure. I tend to grab these 180gm vinyl issues just to add to the collection so I probably will.

This is probably why I rarely purchase vinyl these days, I don't see £16.99 for an album as reasonable.

Never bought it, never will. Why should I buy the same songs (over and over) again when I can avoid it ? Dark - I remember a time when CDs cost about 3x as much as LPs ..

My first CD, was Love Over Gold by Dire Straits and in 1984 the disc cost me £14:99 in the only store that sold CD's, a hi fi shop called Laskey's The vinyl version in the local HMV's was £4:99.
