that el Diablo was in great shape, too - shocked it went for that amount...(a lot of them have tape marks on the sleeve) The vinyl was near mint without scratches, crackles and popping sounds. Very nice! Is it the album version or a radio edit?

I checked discogs but no luck there... It does play the Album Version. There is no official Radio Edit or something of EL DIABLO!

Was out doing stuff this afternoon whilst the real auction was going on... ...but coming in & my online bid on this was high enough -

Shame about the Blu-tack marks & whatnot, but where am i going to find another copy?
Also had a copy of the Musicians Only issue with the review of them playing at the Zoo in Birmingham in 1980 turn up today (i assume a review of the 22nd of July show) - which i've been after for a while as, whilst it's not exactly singing their praises (esp Simon's voice), i 'think' is the first published article about them.
Well, the only other 2 from 1980 i'm aware of are a review of them supporting Hazel O'Connor - which i've forgotten what it's in...
…& there's an Observer Magazine article about the Rum Runner & the New Romantics in Birmingham (& a bit about the RR's "house band") which was clearly written in 1980 as well - however it wasn't published until March 1981 & wasn't updated to include anything about them being signed or releasing PE or whatnot.
Oh, & with the world being a billion degrees yesterday, i'd forgotten about also getting the really ugly promo pen on a string thing -

Yeah, i've no doubt that it's a genuine promo item at all (i've seen one or two before), but it's one of the more hideous bits of merch imho.
[Edit]
As an aside, the pen arrived today & the only bit that's kind of the same colour as the photos is the cord -
with the circle background & bottom of the pen being something akin to this font colour instead of a yellow-green...
...with a darker blue D...
…& (other than the white bits) the rest being black.
Yeah, it's still hideous - just differently hideous.
