cipp299 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 So I just inherited a ton of records and am in the process of going through them all. I came upon a copy of a Killing Joke 12" single. I remembered hearing about the band on this board and figured I would ask. It has "Requiem" on one side and "Change" on the other. Does anyone know anything about this record or if it's worth anything? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 not sure but that band has like 40+ 12" singles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salaho Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I wouldn't have thought it's worth much, but Requiem is a fantastic song, so I'd recommend listening to it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daysineuropa79 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 great single, heard this back in late 70s /early 80s on the john peel show , think it was 12" only ? must dig mine out and have a listen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 There was a time when this would sell for $20 or so, but I think $8 or $10 is a little more accurate now. Their first single (Are You Receiving) fetched a bit but I think the market for these guys has thinned to nearly nothing- especially in the states. Too bad... this band was killer for like 10 solid years. Even Nirvana ripped them off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipp299 Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 Wow, I guess I'll be giving this a listen soon then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I'll probably catch hell for this, but "Brighter Than A Thousand Suns" is by far my favorite Killing Joke record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seafoamgreen Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I'll probably catch hell for this, but "Brighter Than A Thousand Suns" is by far my favorite Killing Joke record. Won't catch no hell from me. Bring on the keyboards, Jaz! I still prefer the Revelations/Fire Dances one two punch but their first like 8 records are amazing. I think of them as the British Jawbox: both tragically underrated and highly influential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
