Price Check In Aisle 3

it's a long shot, but does anyone know what a copy of the Allen-Ward Trio on Vanguard sells for? 1965. Stereolab copy. Good shape. I've never actually seen one before. Group with David Rea on guitar. I can't find a copy anywhere online. maybe i'm not looking hard enough. okay, that's not true anymore. found ONE copy on musicstack going for $250. i find that hard to believe.

anyway, this can be an all-purpose thread for questions of price. you see something tempting on someone's wall and yer wondering if its worth yer hard earned cashola.

Can't you price roughly according to genre, label and year and then cross your fingers you didn't screw up?

i think you should charge $75 or 3x what you paid for it, whichever is higher.

Someone paid 7.50 for it on ebay in 2003.

There's a copy for $29 here:

http://www.record-eurasia.com/Eng/listproge.html

what would i do without you, J? wow, they got lots of funky records. and you figure they are all inflated by 5 or 10 bucks on average. soooo, i should sell the copy i have for 15 or so. half of which goes to my brother cuz i dug it out of his crazy stacks. and that is how we work things.

anyway, like i said, issues of price and $$$$ can go on this thread.

Would so shop at your store because all of the prices you quote are so reasonable.

cool I was just thinking that we needed a thread like this here.

what should i charge for a nice copy of black flag's everything went black WITH the poster and the sticker? is 25 bucks too much?

depends on yer clientele! you said punk records are hot sellers in yer shop cuz, so i'd say go for $25 and if it sits for a week or two move it down to $20.

you know what, i'm gonna go with 20. i think that's fair. and i'll make someone's month. first pressing without the black flag on the cover goes for about 20. nice to see one with the sticker though. very cool. kinda want to stick it somewhere.

all i really need are sun ra records, punk records, and bob dylan records and i will be in business forever apparently.

sounds about right yeah..

do ppl like the byrds up in greenfield? we sell the fuck outta byrds records.

they don't "fly" out the door, hahaha, but they do okay. zep, doors, beatles, are all, duh, good.

i have so many byrds records its not funny...how much is my Arp Art record supposed to sell for?

noone ever responded to my query about my p diddy 12" f*^$ y'all nig&%$s..th lox diss track..its a dj copy on bad boy.."This track was previously unreleased and recorded way back when Diddy had beef with the LOX & Shyne wasn’t in prison. Track was produced by Kanye West & ghost written by Shyne!"...whats it worth?

maybe nobody knows. start it on ebay at 49.99.

i dunno abt value but apparently the beat on the diddy track was done by a young kanye west, which might help sell it.

your mum was done by a young kanye west amirite

sorry, i just couldn't help it :(

but to have no precedent anywheres on th wheb is wheird...yeah..i got skunked twice by bidders on my raekwon cassette..what do they just sign up to bid and then vanish..wheird..oops wrong thread

i bet some japanese website has a whole paragraph abt it.

^^^ not racist, just tryin to big-up the japanese for their supreme record nerdery.

popsike thinks that my shocking blue s/t on colossus (vg+ cover, vg++/nm- record) is worth more than $50. sweet, i paid almost dick for it!

i sold a frank sinatra CD a few weeks ago for $200, y'all. just sayin.

how much is my Arp Art record supposed to sell for?

The Elias Tanenbaum record? I bought mine for $1, I've never seen it for more than like $5.

a copy of the faust tapes, virgin pressing, with the outer plastic bag sleeve from the recommended records pressing? to make things weirder, the inserts from "So Far" were stuffed inside the outer plastic bag.

thinkin of putting it on the wall for $40?

is it worth more than an original u.k. pressing? cuz those sell for like 30 on ebay. but maybe it is. might actually be harder to find than a u.k. virgin copy.

last one on popsike seems to have gone for 30 some-odd euros or pounds or someshit. i'm gonna hold on to it and see if i can find the right pressing to match it up.

i got the rec records version two years ago at wfmu for $20. i dont know why it would go up if your mixing two pressings. yeah i'd hold on to it.

this is sort of a place holder, since when i am less tired i can go into a big rant, but the owner of "strictly discs" in madison, wisconsin is the most assholish record-store owner i have ever encountered. today he gave me a 10-minute lecture about LP pricing (which made no sense natch). sort of a record-store equivalent of a used-car salesman. fuck that guy.

and god bless you scott and other mensch-y record store owners of the world.

some people are just really out of touch. they're hard to deal with cuz they really think they know what they're talking about but are so often guided by things like goldmine & record collector magazine. something is only worth as much as you can sell it for--i don't care if yer seventies elvis picture sleeve is "mint" it ain't worth more than a couple bucks.

i just sold an elvis picture disc for 15 bucks. i gave the guy a good overall deal for the stuff he bought though. i LOVE older collectors who buy the chubby checker records i've had sitting around forever. and the annette funicello 45s. god bless them for real!

okay, price-check for real:

i've got a mono sgt. pepper with surface scratch issues - meaning it doesn't look really pretty but it plays okay. cover is fine. doesn't have inserts. 30 bucks?

US or UK?

Also, does it have the multicoloured inner sleeve?

Funny, combine two of the above: I recently bout ChubCheck's "Let's Twist Again" album, original green parlophone UK, and the inner sleeve was the very same multicoloured Sgt Pepper inner!

http://www.norwegianwood.org/beatles/disko/lp/images/pepper3.jpg

It looks like this.

it actually has a sleeve promoting a capitol records songwriting contest! which i've never seen before. and its a u.s. copy. early capitol pressing.

OK, I don't know.

I believe the Capitol ones had the sleeve above as well, so here goes:

The Beatles albums sold plenty when first out, so they are only worth decent sums if they are close to excellent in appearance and play quality, sleeve/inners (and insert) included. (Prices go exponential the closer they get to mint)

30 bucks sounds a bit high for yours. Check e-bay completed auctions is yr best bet.

i'd say closer to $20 for a VG mono peppers. is the jacket in nice shape? inserts?

yeah i had second thoughts last night and decided that 20 was more like it. no inserts. jacket is in good shape though.

i just don't see them much around. most stores put their nice copies up for auction. so i was gonna go a little high just cuz...i don't know why. cuz i don't see them for sale around here! but i think 20 will equal quick sale/happy customer.

found a minty hendrix r u experienced early reprise stereo (tri-color label, blah, blah) and put 20 on that. have NO misgivings there. clean early stereo hendrix albums i hardly ever find. cuz people liked to party with jimi.

people STILL like to party with jimi.

sealed copies of the Howling Hex's "Section 2" and "Return Of The Third Tower"??

wondering what to start them at on ebay.

return of the third tower was available earlier this year on the drag city website, but isn't now. maybe they found warehouse copies? it wasn't just a glitch, though, cause i got one!

i mean, i think that you should start most stuff that you expect to sell for $10-50 at 9.99... lots of people here have more experience selling than me, though, so im curious to see what everyone else thinks.

i sold some extra copies of the trio on ebay earlier this year. #1 went for $20-something, the others for around $10. i should have sold them a couple years back when they were going for $60-$70 per. oh well. missed the boat on my murder city devils LPs too.

maybe you should just sell section 2 to me, sleeve.

some people are just really out of touch. they're hard to deal with cuz they really think they know what they're talking about but are so often guided by things like goldmine & record collector magazine. something is only worth as much as you can sell it for--i don't care if yer seventies elvis picture sleeve is "mint" it ain't worth more than a couple bucks.

^^^this is true, it's like all these people i have met over the years who hear about this new thing called "record collecting" (i blame those "vinyl is back!" articles tbqf) and think their stuff is worth $20 apiece. there's a used bookstore near me that is amazing in this regard, all this crappy '70s rock and weak '80s soul on vinyl for $8-$10. kinda ties in with my other recent rants about this i guess.

How much could I get for a VG+ copy of Rational Youth's Cold War Night Life? Really common in Canada (I've seen at least five copies in the last few years), but desirable in Europe? I also have loads of early singles before that album (some in French) that don't show up on "completed" items on the bay.

^ i just bought that rational youth album last weekend for $8

discogs listings are a bit higher than that. i think i got lucky buying it in a sorta suburban record store.

Yeah, I'll probably hold onto my copies for a while, then. I thought they were huge in Sweden... ;]

I spotted a Johnny Cash box in a local record shop today at £8. It caught my eye because I remember my Dad buying it in the 70s. It was a mail order Readers Digest thing with 6 vinyl album entitled things like "Johnny in Love" and "Johnny in Jail".

I've found a couple of copies online ranging from £14 with no bids on eBay to £44 on Virgin Shops to $72 on Musicstack.

Here's the eBay listing: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/JOHNNY-CASH-'THE-BEST-OF'-READERS-DIGEST-6-x-LP-BOX-SET_W0QQitemZ370296578109QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxq20091126?IMSfp=TL091126203009r31676#ht_1081wt_993

Can anyone give me a rough idea what it might actually be worth?

Readers Digest release GJC-6A
http://images.productserve.com/preview/1552/39058966.jpg

I think my Dad also has an Elvis one from the same source & time but he loaned it out and some fucker scratched it to bits.

Can anyone give me a rough idea what it might actually be worth?

my guess is almost nothing, honestly.

not sure where else to put this, but saw a lamonte young dvd and not sure what else with it, cd? record? box something or other? all sort of a glowing blue color at amoeba for $1000. crazytown.

was it literally glowing? like a pulsating blue flame? that would explain the $1,000.

my guess is almost nothing, honestly.

Thanks amateurist, that's what I figured given that there's one on eBay for £14 with seemingly no interest whatsoever, I just wondered why there are other sites trying to punt it for 4 or 5 times that amount. I suppose they're working on the 'one born every minute' theory.

I think I'll pick it up anyway as it's in great condition and it's 60 or thereabouts Johnny Cash songs on nice shiny vinyl for £8.

The ebay one wants to sell it *now* (ish)

The Virginshops/Musicstack are in no hurry.

behind the counter at SF amoeba? the price must've come DOWN from $1300!

is it possible you can get 40 dollars for an original restless copy of telepathic surgery? that's the only price i can find on the internet. or is that way inflated? i think i'll sell it for 20. jeez, even that seems high. it's only the flaming lips for pete's sake.

people LOVE the flaming lips but i think it's more of an ebay thing.. usually i'd price it around 25 for it to sell in the shoppe.

hmmm

XTC "Acoustical Oranges And Lemons" double 7" on the Vigotone label, looks mint. Nothing on eBay, Discogs has one for $65 and one for $100. gonna eBay it, should I start it at 10 or 20 or 50? I paid almost nothing.

and as a side note, I know Discogs prices are high, but can anyone estimate how much higher (as a percentage) than they would sell for the real world?

put it up for 19.95 and see what happens. you might get lucky.

newport folk festival 1965 album on vanguard. decent copy. vg+ ian?

sang froid, you need a copy?

can't find a price anywhere. paul butterfield, son house, koerner and glover. lol no dylan. scary mel lyman's solo harmonica rock of ages. (mel trying to heal the dylan wound after the festival had ended. thanks, creepy.)

not that i think its worth a ton or anything. just weird that i can't find a copy for sale online. i'm not always the best searcher though.

finally got a copy of the singer-songwriter project! woo hoo! needed that one. it's not like you need to own a lot to be a richard farina completist, but this was definitely on my want-list. (still don't have the eric von schmidt thing, but i'll get one eventually.)

thanks, but it's not really calling my name today. i have that singer-songwriter project one, too!

Yeah, those Newport recordings are a little too staid for me most of the time.

However, the Farina/Schmidt LP is on my want list as well! We've had copies @ the shop before but they always end up on ebay.

wow ive never seen that one before -- the cover is totally beautiful

the first side of the 65 newport thing is really good. butterfield band/lilly brothers/son house/some african dance troupe/eric von schmidt with mel lyman and geoff and maria muldaur. (a.k.a. maria d'amato)

sealed original don cherry/latif khan music/sangam with just a little shrink damage -- it's a great record, and i have the reissue. unsealed copy went for $75 or $80 a couple years ago, but that was before the reissue...

i worry about buying sealed records cuz of warpage.

i bought it last week on eBay for $25

wait, you just bought it and you want to know what it costs?

right. i was confused too.

like if i were to sell it at a record fair -- i think i got a really good deal on ebay, but i thought maybe you guys have seen more of these come and go...

$40 for VG plus copy of Joy division LWTUA original UK 12" FAC 23... good or overpriced?

sounds high.

very overpriced. half that would be ok

watch ebay for a week or two and you could probably get one for 10 bucks. they probably sell 20 a week. (i made that last part up.)

you could get the 7 inch on ebay for, like, 5 bucks or less too.

yeah. this is probably one of factory's least rare discs

do you guys have this? looks cool. and this looks like a deal even if the cover's fucked up. i'd like to hear that stuff.

Yorsh

Bung me $20 via paypal and you can have a mint condition copy from me.

thanks for the all the feedback on the LWTUA -- gonna hold off, Mark I sent you a message

Those regional RRR boxes always seem like such a good idea until I get them home and then never listen to 'em. I don't even think I kept the New England box, featuring all my hometown heroes!

whats the going rate for ohhhhhh probably 2nd press trout mask - red straight label - no insert clean vinyl - vg+ - vg cover with some ringwear and one pretty big split but otherwise okey dokey. 25 bucks?

i think i asked my brother this and he said 25 but i might have been dreaming this.

at a good reasonable store and not some old man joint where they put it up on the wall for a hundred bucks cuz they are old and stuff. i have no idea cuz i don't get around much. even if i overprice it it will probably only be in the store for ohhhhhhh 3 days maybe.

$25 seems fine.

sounds awesome, by the way. jeez, when was the last time i played trout mask? i am walking rekkerd store nerd cliche today. first beach boys now beefheart.

i just got a copy of trout mask the other day, and it had been so long since id heard it! annie and i listened and played a german board game and got drunk. pretty chill time!

troutmast .... pretty chill time

does not compute!

GBV - Bee Thousand LP Scat 35 on clear blue vinyl, NM or EX?

watch this one. it has, like, six hours left in the auction:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Guided-by-Voices-Bee-Thousand-Scat-35-LP-BLUE-VINYL_W0QQitemZ160409748256QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_on_Vinyl?hash=item25592a8320

i sold one years ago and i did well with it. can't remember how much i got though. they are good sellers. gbv on vinyl in general is always a good thing to sell. or, you'll always find people to buy the stuff anyway.

gbv being one of those cases where a lot of the fans they have now weren't buying their vinyl in the 90's. so, demand is higher than supply. even a lot of their fans in the 90's weren't buying vinyl, you know? same goes for pearl jam!

just saw Mars EP on Lust/Unlust for £5, great condition - has the bottom of the no wave/post punk market fallen out yet?

oh well i went back and bought it. also got a Mark Perry solo album 'Snappy Turns' for £4 which i'm really enjoying.

so, is $20 a fair price for 'Robin's Reign'?? too much? too little?? I saw a copy in PDX and held in my stash for a while but ultimately put it back. Since I never see it, not sure what it should go for. But, just because I never see it I'm not sure it's necessarily a $20 record...

seems a little high. but i could see someone trying to get 20 for it. i think i paid 10 for my copy. i'd probably sell it for 15 in my store.

that record is... odd. i like it, but i find it hard to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. what is PDX?

portland, or

ah yes, PortlanD oregonX. how could i have missed it?

it's the airport code. like ORD for O'Hare and so forth

believe or not some people have these three letter codes committed to memory (and in Portland's case in particular, it's just taken on a life of its own as shorthand for the city)

It just rolls off the tongue. I have called it that for years.

OKX

goblin greatest hits on italian cinevox label? 20 bucks? 25? obviously not as pricy as one of the soundtracks. maybe 20 would be the nice price.

$20 sounds reasonable to me.

don patterson - holiday soul (prestige - 1964)

can't find a price anywhere!

this guy has a vg copy for $25.

http://www.the-record-collector.com/Holiday.htm

you always come throooo in a pinch, J.

how much should i charge for nick drake box on hannibal? somewhat discoloured box. sun? it happened to my copy at home too. must have been the ink they used. anyway, clean vinyl, booklet, etc. the old one. not the new fancy one with the dvd. or maybe i should have two copies. one at home and one at the store. in case of earthquake.

$40?

would be my gut feeling

huh, looks like it sells for closer to $60 or $70 or sometimes more. Maybe put $50 on it? People do love Nick Drake.

i was thinking 50!

What's a fair price for a very nice copy of Slapp Happy "Desperate Straits"?

Popsike has it at £24

can i just put 10 or 20 on this and be done with it? original vinyl version, i mean:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00242VYIO/ref=dm_dp_cdp?ie=UTF8&s=music

found a red vinyl version on gemm for 25. fuggit, i'll sell it for 10. cool record.

Alter Ego & Friends Obsessional Schizophrenia LP (C. Schneider, 1972)

^does anyone know this and is £15 a decent price? NB I know the dude talking about rereleasing it in the comments - the copy sitting in a shop near to me was presumably sold by him so idk if he had a spare or what - the only online prices I can find are a lot pricier than that but none of them are what ppl have actually paid for it

one sold on Popsike for $38, so that seems like a good price (nb that was in 2005)

is 15 pounds like 20 or 25 u.s.? that doesn't seem so bad for an oddity like that. and you gotta ask yourself when you would ever see another copy.

the real crazy thing to me sometimes is that there are more than like 5 copies of an album like this to sell in the world.

23.8 u.s. dollars to be exact. hell, i'd probably sell it for more than that in my store. i'd put it on my wall for 30 bucks. it would look nice on my wall.

got a 2nd state pasted over butcher cover. has some splits but it's not in terrible shape. the vinyl is pretty beat but i figure that don't matter much. someone can just swap another copy for the beat one. was gonna bring it to the record show tomorrow. any thoughts? 2nd state covers seem to be in the 3 to 4 hundred range, so i thought about going low at 250 and actually selling the damn thing. or should i be a record show jerk and go high?

also got THE nicest copy of ummagumma that i've ever seen. first press u.k. copy. gigi cover. don't think it was ever played. vinyl is so beautiful. put 200 on that. (i'm bringing mostly cheap stuff to the show.)

big show in new jersey this weekend. but i will be at the local yokel umass show.

price to sell is my advice, the recession is still out there. I lowballed a lot of my stuff at the February show I tabled at, and still did less than I expected.

yah, i'm bringing a lot of five dollar stuff that i would price at 6 to 10 in the store.

basically my being there is just an ad for the store in a way. so, i'm not all that concerned about selling a ton. i'm not even bringing a ton of stuff. just a good cross-section of what i sell. hand out a bunch of cards, etc. (oh and buy way too much stuff so that i can say i help keep the local record economy rolling...)

what the hell does this current 93 tibetan monk chant record sell for? i've never seen one before.

jeezus, not much i guess. one just sold for a dollar.

you can still probably put $20 on it in the store.

if there are goths in greenfield anyway.

yeah that's what i was thinking. i put ten on it.

just sold some records to terry adams. i like that cuz i know they'll go to a good home.

i got this sweet minty 60's u.k. comp of memphis blues in and man i can't find a price anywhere so fuggit i put 30 bucks on it. so pretty. i don't want to give it away. nobody buys it in a month it goes home with me.

Is $25 for Dr. John's "Babylon" reasonable? I know what Popsike says, dudes, I want the real world price!

if it were a clean early pressing i might put 20 on it. but i'm cheap. 25 is fine. nice copies of his records aren't that easy to find.

well and that one especially is harder to find in general.

i think i usually price it about $20 too

Thanks dudes. Asked my boss and he doesn't recall seeing a copy recently, so I might just do it. $25 seems so expensive! I'm cheap!

Had a dude tell me he didn't know how to price something today because he couldn't find it on the internet. So back on the secret shelf it went.

Internet's really ruined record stores around here, like fantasy-land Amazon prices should have any bearing on reality.

i have a hard time going high, even if it's "what it's worth" by the current market.

glenn branca's ascension really worth 50-90?
http://www.discogs.com/sell/history/154035

i sold one last summer on eBay: $20.77.

i usually sell it between 20-30.

i tihnk $25 is kind of my standard price for a nice copy of that record.

i should have kept it for the cover.

Is $20 too much for John Hartford's 'Earthwords and Music' ?

seems a little high. its the kind of thing you can find cheaper eventually if you dig long enough, but maybe you want one right now. its kinda hard to find really clean copies.

yeah, that's kinda what I figured. I don't necessarily *need* it now, lord knows, but it's also one of things where it could take a couple of years of digging to find a cheap, decent copy

I bought mine at standard used LP prices for that store, albeit 10 years ago.

i really fucking hate coming in after a few days off to find that [GUY @ WORK I HATE] has mis-priced a bunch of shit in my absence. This time it was gratuitously overpricing james bond soundtracks. ugh. makes me so mad.

hit him with a stick.

does this guy also do your Facebook page? because I remember seeing an "OMG all these James Bond soundtracks came in" post over the weekend, maybe he was just super enthusiastic

he sometimes does facebook stuff yeah.

Well, at least mispricing too high means you still have the records..

yes i'm sure a record store is happy they didn't sell some records

Happier than selling them for quarter price, or something..

it's the lesser of two evils i guess. but i just don't like that someone else's mistakes reflect badly on me.

What did he charge?

The store I used to work at there was someone who had no knowledge of music and is just there for the job, basically priced everything to sell immediately on Amazon. So our actual visiting customers generally would have only the shitty records that went for way less online in stock, along with overpriced shit that we were forced to just about match prices with online and end up sitting on forever (until 6 month price adjustments). Drove me kind of crazy, since any good fresh used inventory that just came in would be 60% gone the next day due to amazon sales.

i think this guy kinda just looks at discogs and chooses a number? like, i don't care that some dude sold octopussy for 10 pounds in the UK, that does not mean it's a $15 record here.

Yeah an international sale certainly does not reflect local demand. Things can go for all sorts of wonky prices globally.

did you price the disco records, ian? man, i would kill to be able to sell 40 dollar disco singles in my store. only the japanese will buy pricey 12 inches from me. and they don't come around that frequently.

i didn't price the disco stuff -- that is my man eric. but yeah, there are a lot of dj's in new york! and lots of japanese tourists too. and the french, and sometimes the english..

we bought 17 crates yesterdaty

if you get rare disco do you just throw it up on ebay? do you not get rare disco?

when we get good disco records in it tends to be a pretty big deal. people buy a lot so they haggle a little and you give them a break and everyone's happy.

i'm starting to think i should bump the price of john prine's first record up to $6. it sells so fast at $5.

oh yeah no i know you can sell good disco in new york. if you can't sell it there...

i just don't get that kind of traffic. i end up keeping stuff. or i'll ebay it or put it on discogs. or keep it in the store for 6 months until a japanese dealer buys it.

i've put 8 or even 10 on first john prine for really nice copies. like, perfect copies. but mostly 6 or 7.

i also need more dedicated space for 12 inches. i need more shelves. tons of stuff i don't even put out because i don't have the room for it. if i build it they will come.

ugh i am drowning in crappy country records over here. the bottom 20% of the huge collection i bought last year. stuff that's been sitting around at $3-4. marking it all down to a buck, which is the point at which i can take stuff home for free. how many bluegrass & late-seventies honky tonk records do i need?

love to come in and see a used copy of a record on the wall for $25 when we have it new & sealed for $22.

or how about $20 on a used Jon Spencer record that's currently in print for $14?

sealed copy of School of Seven Bells "Alpinisms"

Near Mint, Gun Club "Miami" (Animal Records)

First one: whatever the market will bear, probably $30 or more.
Second one: $15-20?

Thanks. Those seem very reasonable to me

Nik Raicevic's HEAD LP? Trying to figure out what kind of offer to make on a dimply, maybe VG at best copy.

So, I guess this is the really expensive version of this album:

Bob Djukic is someone who for some unbelievable and unknown reason gets tons and tons and tons of money for his records on ebay -- there are various theories as to why including his lavish descriptions, huge number of auctions going up at once, and potential shill-bidding conspiracy theories. my pet theory is that his customers are all wealthy russians.

You weren't kidding http://www.ebay.com/csc/bobdjukic/m.html?_ipg=&_from=&_nkw=&_armrs=1&LH_Complete=1&rt=nc

yeah that guy is unreal. some people really do have rabid followings though. not as extreme as that guy mostly. but there are people who swear by certain sellers and will pay way more for their stuff. those regular first pressing prices are ridinkulous though. crazy people prices.

like those Love albums. i wouldn't get anywhere near those prices if i put the same copies up.

don't even ask me about the sealed jesus christ superstar. that defies all logic and sense.

like.. for me, this is a $5 record.

honestly though the long-ass anal descriptions pay off. there are sharper image hot stamper rich dudes who just want to feel like they're buying "the best". you know? and hey it works.

lol

what do you think a good price would be for an original (US) XTC gig poster from 1980? 50 bucks?

also some fliers: 9:30 club 1985, Wax Museum (DC) 1982, PIL 1982, "new wave night" 1980, ramones 1985, and a couple of mimeo zines?

The XTC poster is printed on glossy cardstock (one color) but I was thinking about $5 each for the fliers since they are basically photocopies

Lineup at the Wax Museum: Tommy Keene / Richard Thompson, Danny O'Keefe and Chris Smither / Commander Cody / Cris Williamson Plus Tret Fure & Vicki Randle / Ramones / Touchstone featuring Chick Corea & Paco DeLucia / The Producers / Monarch / The Roches / Iggy Pop plus Nash the Slash / Crystal Ship A Renaissance Of The Doors Plus The Liquid Light Show / Chuck Mangione and His Quartet / Jonathan Edwards and Friends with Special Guest Robert Hunter / Rosanne Cash / Blotto / Willie Dixon & John Lee Hooker

i would like a chris smither flier.

the "chris smither" part takes up about 1 x 1/2 inches of the flier- but if you want it stop by my table

what's a good price for an original VU & Nico LP (stereo) -- banana is intact (just a cut right under the stem) -- plays VG (crackly)?

$50? $60? then look for a clean bananaless copy, sell the bananaless cover w the VG record for $20 or something, and BAM you gotta tight keeper copy.

(feel like ^^this post was pretty personal for some reason? like i shared something about myself)

next level.

how do i tell if the sealed bare knuckles OST i have is orig or reissue?
i cannot find this info on da internet. at first i just assumed it was orig cuz i didn't realize a bootleg existed. but now i think it's prob the bootleg. but i have no idea.

what about these 4 lomax ballad hunter library of congress records i have. do i just slap 20 bucks on them or should i ebay? none for sale on ebay which is a good sign.

those ballad hunter records are rare but i don't think they're particularly desirable.. i bought my complete set for $50.

ended up cracking the seal on the bare knuckles LP. inner sleeve and label both giveaways that it's the reissue. oh well.

anthems in eden by Shirley and dolly Collins: $25 a fair price? I spotted a copy at a nearby shop.

seems fair to me! i think i paid around $20 for mine. great record.

it's really not something that turns up very often, in my experience. still need a copy of "love, death and the lady."

oh god i just felt my heart squeeze a little -- there are copies of either of those floating around out there? would buy in an instant!!

they both got US pressings on Harvest!

but they didn't sell very well, i guess, and i don't see 'em very often. i've seen anthems in eden several times but love/death neeevvvver. i think my buddy has one maybe..

yeah but i have never seen either -- i just can't imagine walking away from anthems in eden regardless of price or reissue status. would buy in an instant!! it's one of my favorites.

did you ever get around to reading shirley's book, "america across the water"? i think you'd love it.

also it looks like i was wrong abt love death and the lady.. no US pressing on that one. there was a reissue by BGO though. but also an import.

i read it when it came out! on my <3 honeymoon <3 of all things.

I bought anthems of eden using st0re cred1t.

you should sell it to me

for actual currency

(j/k but i hope you enjoy it! probably in my top 3 favorites, the medley at the beginning is the best medley ever)

i'm not opposed to a sale in the future, though i am enjoying it!

if i ever see another copy, la lechera will be the first to know.

Yaaaaay my peoples on the streets

still patting myself on the back for my $1 yard sale acquisition of 'adieu to old england' a couple years back

^^^^ excellent score!!

i got a copy of "Sweet England" for $6 from a rekkerd dealer but had to sell it cuz i needed da money.

Yknow speaking of price checks, I just came upon a copy of an Early Music Consort of London record (w David Munrow) that was still shrink wrapped and priced at $2?! It's Pleasures of the Royal Court. Whaaaaa?

that's not terribly underpriced, really. there are a lot of 'early music' records out there and not too many people collecting that stuff. you can get tons of similar stuff on the Music Heritage Society label for just a few bucks.

Ahaaaaa...all the better for me, then! I got The Art of the Netherlands box for like $6 not too long ago.

thanks for reminding me, I meant to start a Musical Heritage Society thread

why it always pays to do your homework. i was gonna keep this record. it sounded nice. i like 50's stuff. hard sell in the store. as an afterthought i looked at what it had been selling for. its sells for quite a bit! who knew?

would smash.

i got this cool fifties record yesterday for $2.

skott you should really check out my guys at YESTERDAY'S NEWS in Riverside, RI sometime. crazy dude who runs an antique store but also has tons of record, most of which are $1. and he gives you bulk discounts on top of that. hit or miss, but if you get to him at the right time there are lots of gems. i bought a bunch of 'fake latin' records. cha cha, mambo stuff. mancini goes latin.

i need to go to lots of places but i never have time to go anywhere. and i always have too much to handle for little old me. but i like going places in theory.

boobies have saved the $$$ value of many a terrible record.

yeah i don't actually know if its the cheesecake factor with that record. might just be a known audiophile thing. it did sound very nice. good record all around.

this is the one you want to find though.

http://www.popsike.com/The-Marty-Paich-Quartet-featuring-Art-Pepper-Orig-Ed1-Tampa-Red-vinyl-NMcond/280986862970.html

this one too though. if you saw it would you say oh yeah that's definitely a 300 dollar record:

http://www.popsike.com/Marty-PaichBroadway-BitWarner-Bros-1296ART-PEPPER/4736775134.html

would you even buy it for five bucks if you saw it? i bet you wouldn't.

well now you would...

private press LP

"You Can't Have Your Future Till Tomorrow"

by

Tina Christine and Questor

from my friend:

"It's not on a label but produced by Sound City Studio in Shreveport, Louisiana. It's autographed by Tina and is a 1970s female vocal/soft rock album with some grooves and covers and sample-able moments on keys. There is no discogs page, or popsike or anything. Only hits online are asking $150 but no other info. I kno ppl collect shit like this and get boned up on private press stuff. Any ideas? "

they should upload it to youtube. then it will be known. and then wait. and then sell it.

thanks! just helping a guy out, he was on a crate digging road trip
