This is a page of rare Thompson Twins cds, records and collectables and includes a list of rare pressings as featured in the 1990 issue of Record Collector magazine no.134. This list featured pressings not given a full commercial release eg. Promos Demos. Note that the value of these items may have went up or down and only included releases up to Big Trash.

I will strive to included later items such as those from Babble. It was stated in this
issue of Record Collector that although the Thompson Twins have lost much of
their commercial standing in recent years, there is still a market for their limited
edition releases-notably short run singles and promos. Their collectability had
not been damaged by lack of chart success. I hope to put up some of my
favorite and prized items from my own Thompson Twins collection as well as a
few links to retailers that stock a large selection of Thompson Twins goods.
