Just search for 'Paul C' and you'll find very average rap records going for stupid stupid prices.

$499 for a Supremes greatest hits is a bit much...I wouldn't pay a cent over $350.

The seller already listed this LP once at $499 so it doesn't seem like a pricing mistake; could have at least dropped it to $399 on the relisting!

That Ed Banger 7" isn't that expensive, really. The "Ain't Bin To No Music School" 7" usually goes for about that much. I got lucky with that one.

There are loads of punk singles that go for hundreds of pounds -

Bad Brains - Pay To Cum
Crime - Frustration
a lot of singles featured on Killed By Death/Bloodstains comps (not all of them are that rare though)

I'm quite happy with my bootleg reissue of Pay To Cum, no need to splash out $1000 on an original copy...

Looking at the box it's just a 1/4 inch tape.. which means it's not multitrack masters...

From the box info it looks like a simple copy of the master tape made either for listening to, or maybe for making a re-issue pressing.

Either way, if it's on Ampex tape as the box says, then it's highly likely the tape is screwed anyway as most Ampex tape stock from that period suffers badly from sticky shed making the tape almost unplayable....

Longboxes weren't phased out for another couple of years, so the millions of people that bought Ten in 1991-92 in the US (because iirc, no other countries used longboxes) bought it in a longbox.

Endtimes indeed. That's the most baffling auction result I've ever seen, including, but not limited to, those auctions where people paid thousands for a potato that faintly resembled Richard Marx.
