I have a copy of Skeletal Lamping! I got it second hand for a few quid, but the outer sleeve is ripped and it’s a bit knackered looking. I see it rare then?
Not at all, sadly. It's an easy one to find really cheap, like a lot of their back catalogue (I got that
Hissing Fauna CD for pennies). Even the vinyl versions tend to be very reasonably priced, so I've doubled up on a few favourites just for the larger artwork, like the freaky booklet with
False Priest (which also deserves a mention here, come to think of it).
I own three copies of
Skeletal Lamping now (the first two had a skip during exactly the same section of 'Plastis Wafer', so I bit the bullet and bought a new copy, by which time the second started playing OK again, so that isn't even out of its shrink-wrapping), but all in all I've only spent about a tenner on it and I could potentially frame one to deter visitors if I could handle looking at it all the time.
I haven't yet come across copies of the alternative formats it was released in - t-shirts, button sets, wall decals and lampshades. I can't think of another album that's been released as a lampshade.
