Hello everybody! My name is Armelle, this is my first post here, and instead of showing my collection, I wanted to come up with a new issue. I recently unpacked some of my garbage stuff, and to my surprise I realize I’ve got a some things double! Read the rest of this entry »

Here is some of my collection:
Unfortunately, lack of internet last year meant that my collecting was pretty much put on hold. I am really looking forward to getting back into it now. Read the rest of this entry »

So this is where in my opinion Garbage promotional material production started to fall apart really. Surely there are a few cool things that were produced in this era, but certainly nothing of the calibre of the other 3 eras. Read the rest of this entry »

I started collecting “Garbage” in 2007. But I bought my first single “Stupid Girl” in 2006. That makes Driving Lesson my first b-side! My main collection consist of singles but its growing to vinyl and memorabilia. Read the rest of this entry »

I would say that all Garbage album eras had great packaging, but some of the memorabilia items in the Beautiful Garbage era are just stunning. I think the combination of the font used and the single names meant that there was alot of room for funky ideas of packaging of memorabilia and promo items. I think also the seemingly more limited/hard to find nature of some of the items (compared to the V2.0 era) makes them that much more appealing, but at the same time that much more expensive….

In this post are my memorabilia items from Version 2.0 - which I think had some of the better items for promotion as this is when the Garbage Official Store was selling merchandise. There were some really cool items in this era, including great sticker sheets of the V2.0 symbols (all except You Look So Fine - as far as I am aware), mailers, really well packaged press kits and tons of other stuff. I forgot to put my posters , t-shirts and official calendar in this post, but everything else currently resides in my collection :)

Well, further to my last post which was an overview of my collection, I figured I would do a new post with some specific focus on my new area of “obsession” - collecting the memorabilia from the various Garbage album eras.

There is just something really cool about the memorabilia that Garbage produced - the quirky packaging, funny concepts for items (”paranoid” condom anyone?) and generally just really aesthetically pleasing stuff! I think I would have to say that I have probably spent as much on memorabilia stuff as I would have on actual music formats like CDs, cassettes and vinyl…somewhere in that region at least.

This is my Garbage collection. Ive been collecting properly since 2004/5 when I discovered ebay. Originally my intention was to merely collect all the singles for b-sides and rarities which by the time I got to university in 2004 was more or less fulfilled (missing one or two by then). I did have the UK VHS as well as the SE of bg which I thought had the most amazing packaging at the time - it was a sign I was starting to become a fully fledged fan buy buying an album I already owned for nothing more than glorified packaging.

I’ve been buying items on eBay since 1999, for a number of reasons the main one being that it is the biggest and best source for collectors around the world. Since 99 my collection has grown so much thanks to this one site. It has a number of great features to it which can help a collector obtain items from all around the world without the need to contact hundreds of suppliers when a new single or album is released something I used to do all the time prior to having the internet when I started collecting back in 1996. There isn’t much wrong with the site in my opinion apart from one thing and that is the buyers! This post is simply to try to educate buyers in how to use eBay in a way that will save you money and win you more items.
