I've got the "Grey Lady of the Sea" Japanese 3" CD. That's pretty rare. I also have the Dutch promo "With Compliments." Bunch of vinyl bootlegs. My favorite is the US promo for "Planet Earth" with the blurb and the stars and earth photo. I also love all of the 7"s -- those are my favorite to collect. I've got a bunch of 1981-82 mags that are really cool -- including the one with the ad that Andy answered to join the band. I've got a bunch of shirts that are way too small to wear that I should sell. Anyone interested in old shirts? Some are pretty unique.

The photo is below.
There's a thread on this forum documenting that this is the correct ad.

Next would probably be my CD test pressing for a supposedly never released "US B-sides" collection (not a CDR, but a blank CD, got it in the early'90s - 6 or 7 years before the same compilation was released by the "Russian Fan Club" with the goofy Union of the Snake man" artwork), and never have looked into whether it's legit, but don't care, especially at the time I got it! At that time I'd never heard several of the songs (Faith in This Colour - Original Slow Version, Interlude 1 (Slowed back down to original speed), This is How a Road Gets Made, God (London), and Grey Lady of the Sea), and had none on CD at that time! I can still remember my eyes nearly popping out of my head as each song played (there wasn't even a tracklist). I found it in a tiny little ad in one of those old record collecting newspaper-style publications, paid $30 plus $5 shipping (best $$ I've ever spent on a Duran item). EDIT: It's been confirmed to me that this item was not in fact a Capitol test pressing (also it came out in '96...so much for my memory). Oh well, like I said, it is still one of my favorites, still rare I think, and worth every penny! ;D I also have a blanc cd, which is supposed to be a test pressing with the b-sides. It is packed together with the wedding album category number TOCP-7230. So it's a double cd in fact. I bought a whole collection from someone recently, and the seller told me that this was a promo cd, and the testpressing comes with it? He sold me alot of nice and good stuff (for very little money) but this is the only cd i am doubting about, if it's real or not. Reading above's message, probably it isn't? Although... I see you mention God, and that track is not on my cd.. I do see the grey lady of the sea on the tracklist, which makes it a bit suspicious for me.... the cd does have a matrix number: 29413-2 mo y7774n ifpi l243 y-1-1-1# maybe it sais something? Anybody knows? Edit: it looks like I do have this one: eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=71578But is it right that it comes with the Japanese wedding Album?

I've got a lot of vinyl (albums, eps, 12", 7", bootlegs, pic disc, etc.) and a collection of pins and other kinds of memorabilia.
But first and foremost, I was the winner of a writing contest that Mark Tinley (Ty-Wharton) had a few years back. He decided to pass along all of his backstage/all access passes that he'd collected over the years. I had them professionally framed ( ended up being about 5.5' long and about 2.5' feet high) and it now hangs in my living room. It is undoubtedly the first thing everyone sees! The best I can tell is that from the ones that have dates, they range from 1993-RCM.
The second item is my signed copy of Interference that I waited 20+ years for Nick to autograph. The thrill of the chase!
