Sharleen Spiteri from the band Texas says the group had to buy one of their records online for \u00a31,400 as they never publicly sold vinyl of the album.<\/p>\n
The band is going on tour in 2027, which includes a performance at the Brighton Centre, to celebrate 30 years since their White on Blonde album was released.<\/p>\n
Although the band sold almost two million copies<\/a> of the album in the UK alone, Spiteri said only about 50-100 vinyl records were produced for members of the press and radio stations.<\/p>\n “We had to go on to eBay and we had to buy our own record which, this is where it gets nuts, it cost us \u00a31,400,” she said. <\/p>\n Spiteri added: “If you have a White on Blonde album right now, one of the originals, sell it! It’s worth a lot of money.”<\/p>\n As part of the 30-year celebrations, the band is releasing a remastered version of the popular album.<\/p>\n Singles from the record, which was the fourth album from the Scottish band, included Say What You Want and Black Eyed Boy.<\/p>\n Spiteri told BBC Radio Sussex<\/a>: “People are genuinely like: ‘Oh my God, that album meant so much to me!’ and stuff, and even [from] younger people who remember it from the parents or on the school run or whatever. <\/p>\n “It’s pretty special.”<\/p>\n Follow BBC Sussex on Facebook, external<\/a>, X, external<\/a>, and Instagram, external<\/a> and listen to BBC Radio Sussex on Sounds<\/a>.
