Can't say I disagree with you about the font - 'cos it is fairly vile. But as for the picture on the cover of the digipak, I quite like it - but then I would say that as it's one of mine... wink

All the photography is good - I always wondered if that was yours. It's good pictures ruined by a nasty font!

It is nice to have a live shot on the front of that particular release though. However I think what appeals to me about the booklet cover photo is that it's black & white. On the other hand, what's really cool about the main cover photo is that you can't quite make John out through the lights - always the hidden man wink

And it's certainly not the most I've seen this CD go for - a few years ago a copy was sold on eBay for somewhere in the region of £150.00

It's amazing that people are paying these amounts of money in these recessionery times. John Foxx is worth it.

Meta 0004CD is not easy to find and I remember I completed my John Foxx CD collection with this one. I'm glad that I bought it then 'cos now the times are slightly different. :rolleyes:

I did fork out £110 for mine but mine was special. I was lucky to find No 6 signed in Gold by John and Louis. It came from a huge John Foxx fan from the North East of England who had to unfortunately sell all his John Foxx collection: vinyl, cassettes, DVDs and CDs. frown He was happy for this work of art to go to another John Foxx home and it still is. smile

Exotour is special it's John Foxx resurrection and brought back life to a lot of fans. God bless you John!

Hi. I have won the Exotour cd on ebay. I put a max bid of £150 so actually I am quite chuffed to get it at £85. I bid for this item on ebay a few years ago and my max bid was £80. Someone beat me by a few pounds so I was gutted. I have been looking ever since so I was'nt going to let this one get away. As for the price, apart from vs303 this was the only thing I did'nt have so it was worth it to me. In 1983 a record dealer I knew had A new kind of man single but he wouldn't sell it to me. I offered him £100 (a weeks wage then). He did sell me Torque Point though so at least I got something interesting.

I think thats excellent news. Nice story cool

It's great to see John's material valued so highly and people prepared to commit to it in such a serious way.

It's a great CD to have, too. Some unique versions of great songs.
Well done!
