Am I the only person to be amazed that Full On Mask Hysteria is changing hands for over £40 on eBay?

I've seen two go for that much in the past fortnight and one I'm watching is up to £25 with still a few days to go.

Time to go scatting around car boot sales me thinks!

What?!
Is this the CD- or the vinyl-version (with the bonus 12")?
Hrmmm, who cares - looks like it's also time for me to scavenge 'round the
2-hand shops and pick up some copies (last time I saw 'em these at places, they go for approx. £3-£4 over here).

Unreal...

"eBay, here I come...! Kaaa-ching!!!"

BTW, I wouldn't part with my CD- and vinyl copies (respectively) of "Full On Mask Hysteria", though!
(Yeah-yeah, I know, but they do bring back some fun memories from "back in the day"...!)

Yeah, I've got both Vinyl & CD copies of the album and its not really that rare, I've seen a few in seocnd hand shops for about £5-£10 but they seem to go on Ebay for loads. Don't really know why. Fantastic album one of my all time faves.

on an altern8 tip - does anyone know where the original vocal came from that is on activ8 "come with me, tonight's the night"..? a search of the net has proved fruitless.

Seriously, though, Full Mask Hysteria on CD is difficult to get hold of nowadays, so if you see it in a shop for not much dough, stick it on ebay!

The people on the Altern 8 Forum have been trying to petition for a reissue of the CD at some point, as it's proving near impossible to find in those second-hand shops nowadays (take a look, it ain't there anymore)!

As for where the Activ8 sample comes from, I dunno, but I did find out from the Altern 8 forum that the female vocals on Infiltrate 202 are from Candi Staton's "I Know"

[It was a question posted on a previous incarnation of this forum some time ago]

Hi Rodders ('n' the rest of ya)!
I'm not completely dead-sure on this one, but I believe that the sample you're, talking about (used in "Activ8"),
is lifted from Peech Boys - "Don't Make Me Wait" (If memory serves me correct).

FYI, the old Drum 'n' Bass Sample List (previously know as The Breakbeat Sample List)
is still alive and online at:

This is similar to the North At It's Heights CD, it often goes on eBay for 30 quid.

Yup, must look out for the Altern 8 CD in my travels of second-hand record shops from now on!

OK. Not that I'm obsessed with this or anything but it's verging on the ridiculous now. One has just gone for £51.

My £30 for State To State is beginning to look like a bargain.
