Fucking hell.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 3 April 2006 11:25 (twenty years ago)

my friend mark would have sold his car to get his hands on most of that stuff. wow.

― Emily B (Emily B), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:16 (twenty years ago)

$27 per record, as a starting price? Blimey

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:26 (twenty years ago)

You'd have to be the biggest record collecting geek of all time to want this stuff. The bidding is over 27 grand and the reserve still hasn't been met.

Insane.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:41 (twenty years ago)

i can see quentin tarantino bidding for this lot.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:43 (twenty years ago)

if i were gonna spend that kind of money, i would want the exact condition on every record. but that's just me. if my *sounds of murphy brown* record was a little beat up i wouldn't mind, but if my *acid test* record was, i might be a little pissed.

― scott seward (scott seward), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:47 (twenty years ago)

At least Tarantino has the money to throw away.

I must admit that Danny Bonnaduce solo album looks very enticing though.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Monday, 3 April 2006 12:47 (twenty years ago)

How much of this do you suppose would actually be worth listening to more than once?

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:19 (twenty years ago)

Record collecting geeks don't actually listen to the albums they purchase, do they?

― Jeff K (jeff k), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:33 (twenty years ago)

my bro (in the non-familial sense) greg works at the shop that's selling this stuff.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:40 (twenty years ago)

that's pretty wild. the artowrk alone on most of those makes me want it, but hardly for $27K+

― C'mon, feet! (cmon_feet), Monday, 3 April 2006 14:00 (twenty years ago)

guh!

scott seems to.

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Monday, 3 April 2006 14:14 (twenty years ago)

i can see quentin tarantino bidding for this lot.

or john waters!

― Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 3 April 2006 14:18 (twenty years ago)

Imagine if you had the money, just being able to walk over to your shelf and check out any one of those at your leisure.... sigh.

― mike h. (mike h.), Monday, 3 April 2006 14:20 (twenty years ago)

If you bought this and auctioned them off individually, you'd show a profit. Only just, mind.

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 3 April 2006 14:44 (twenty years ago)

hey ian, do you know if they got all these records from a single collector?

― pssst - badass revolutionary art! (plsmith), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:03 (twenty years ago)

You guys better come up with the money quickly. The auction ends in about 6 hours.

― Jeff K (jeff k), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:04 (twenty years ago)

yeah, it was the collection of one dude. i'm not sure if he was a long islander or where he was located, though.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:05 (twenty years ago)

How does 856 records = 1000 plus?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

I want the "ain't misbehaving" with the Betty Page cover. So, when one of you sports shells out for the whole collection, I'll spot you a crisp new tenner for that one....

― J Arthur Rank (Quin Tillian), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:08 (twenty years ago)

How does 856 records = 1000 plus?

When it says "most but not all records are pictured here"

― J Arthur Rank (Quin Tillian), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:09 (twenty years ago)

Yes but then it says that list below is COMPLETE!

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:09 (twenty years ago)

"THE FOLLOWING IS A COMPLETE LIST OF THE RECORDS INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION:"

Maybe a lot of 'em are multi-record sets? (Dunno - I can't access that link from work...)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:36 (twenty years ago)

I don't know what is worrying me more - the cost, the fact that people are bidding, or that I have soulseeked about 50 of those albums at various stages over the last year.

― dean coster (charlieblimey), Monday, 3 April 2006 15:37 (twenty years ago)

i own all of those records.

― dan (dan), Monday, 3 April 2006 16:06 (twenty years ago)

I rather own this guys collection:

The Down in the Basement compilation is a must have. Every track's a gem but if you're picking from 25,000 discs it should be nothing less perfect.

― Billy Dods (Billy Dods), Monday, 3 April 2006 17:12 (twenty years ago)

a bit disappointing, actually. where's the count chocula solo album? (i already have his duo with derek bailey)

― Lawrence the Looter (Lawrence the Looter), Monday, 3 April 2006 17:38 (twenty years ago)

anyone heard the kesey recording

― grapple (grapple), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 04:53 (twenty years ago)

Well, it didn't meet reserve.

― sleeve (sleeve), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 04:59 (twenty years ago)

one assumes it will be broken down into smaller lots and/or individual auctions, no? or maybe they'll try it without the reserve? i dunno. i guess it depends on how much they paid for it.

― Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 05:03 (twenty years ago)

They said they'd break it down if it didn't go.

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 4 April 2006 07:56 (twenty years ago)

yowsah!
