QUEEN'S first E.P. - Record Store Day list of CD owners

Got my copy today at of all places Hastings for $8.99 CD # 1426
Location: Oklahoma, USA
Now just thinking if I should leave it sealed!

What's Hastings???

Hastings is a national book, games, music and software store here in the U.S. It's kinda like Barnes & Noble.
www.gohastings.com

One cool thing about Hastings is that if you have old books or cd's you no longer want, you can sell them to Hastings and get store credit or cash. So if you don't want to pay $20 for a new cd you could get a used copy for half that price or more. I bought a used "The Crown Jewels" at Hastings once for $30 which my ex-wife sold behind my back. They have a lot of Queen on their website both new and used.

1419 is the number!

Only one post and you claim to have the lowest number so far?

Prove it.

I don't think it is that difficult to get one of these CDs with a lower number than 1426. Right now there are 3 on Ebay in the #200-#220 range.

I think the number probably has more to do with which shop you bought it from than anything else.
Except maybe for the really low 2 digit numbers.

Did you buy yours #1801 from a shop located in Florida by any chance?
Actually that would be another interesting stat to track. Where where each of them bought?

No. 2424.
From Portland, USA.
Now in Wales.

Can't bring myself to open it,

I have No 1362.

I have tried and tried to get a copy, no such luck [img=/images/smiley/msn/thumbs_down.gif][/img] .

I bought it on eBay... it came from either Florida, California, or some place warm down south. That's all I remember. I went on a recent spending spree on eBay (thousands of dollars spent), so I had my Mother change my password as I'm a compulsive buyer and couldn't stop.

Where'd you try? Don't forget eBay as an alternative. Wal Mart and K Mart wouldn't carry it.

Not that hard to find a copy.

Just a 1 min search on ebay and found these. Still plenty more out there.
I would have thought 3000 wouldn't last all that long, but i guess they aren't that popular with collectors.

Well, I'm the proud owner of number 1420

Rien (MercuryParadise)
The Netherlands

No. 2308
Won on ebay and now with me in Birmingham, UK

I have 2 copies:

The 1st one I bought was #1805, then I saw #1977 on Ebay (The year of the original single release) so bought that too.

They are both with me in the UK.

I was actually wondering who got lucky # 1977
Well done!
