ERASURE4RUM PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
It goes from pure greed to blatant conning of fans with fake items,in fact fakes now are swamping the collectors scene,making it now almost impossible to know what’s fake & what’s real. In my honest opinion I wouldn’t bother with buying so called ‘promos’ anymore as it’s to risky it’s like Russian roulette with CDs.
Blatant greed
Blatant con
No links provided this time as I don’t want to line other people’s pockets,people who are only looking out to make.
A profit from real fans

Regarding Andy's leather loafers: I thought Andy is (was?) vegetarian? Or at least a friend of animals who would not wear leather (and fur, etc)? I guess I've never heard him say so specifically, but I've always thought that he was since their appearance with Lene Lovich on the PETA Tame Yourself charity CD. Does anyone know for sure?

I can't say, but I will say it is HARD to find substitute dress shoes that are vegan and look decent while being durable. That's no defense for killing animals, of course, but shell cordovan (in particular) shoes can last a few
generations versus synthetics which might last a few seasons.
Style-wise, I don't blame Andy for letting go of these. Kiltie loafers, or any tassel style, are so odd and impractical these days.

Vince Bell and Andy Clarke? Well, at least they did their research before posting.
