More Waikiki CD Singles

[blade]

I bought Waikiki's album and EP several years ago and about a year ago I got hold of the single "Here Comes September" (from redeye.com.au).

Then I recently stumbled across the "Complicated" single on Amazon (UK) so I thought, why not try to complete the set? Only two more needed.

And what do you know? I went straight to redeye.com.au and there it was - "Lucky". They've never had any more Waikiki stuff when I've looked previously. I don't really like the song (because Joel is singing) but I bought it anyway, for about £13 including postage from Aus.

So then I started seriously searching for "New Technology" and found it quite quickly on GEMM.com. That was about £13 too, including postage from Aus.

And they arrived the same day! "New Technology" has the same swirly-rainbow type designs of the other singles and is a Digipak, like the others, but "Lucky" is different. It's in a jewel case and the front and back sleeves are stills from the video (which is on Youtube).

Waikiki collection now complete!

The moral? If you really want something, search and ye shall find!

Hi Blade

Were any signed ? When I got mine 18 months ago they all came signed. (I won't mention the prices though - they were very cheap ;D)

No, unfortunately not signed. I remember you saying before that yours were signed, you lucky ****!!

I once ordered "New Technology" from redeye.com.au (over a year ago) as it was listed as 'in stock' but it actually wasn't. I got an email from Nick of redeye saying, "The world database is still yet to delete this from their files but it is most definitely out of print and fetches a high price on the collectors' market if ever found. I've scoured the web for a copy also but came up with nothing. Their CD singles are getting tougher to find but will keep you in mind."

He also called Juanita "a honey"!

At the time I found one for sale for $75US but didn't buy.

So your signed copies might be worth a few bob!
