It seems like the Supremes seller took heed of our comments; he's relisted yet again, but now a mere starting bid of...$299.

Poohsticks flexi was Hard On Love (Woosh 007) which cost me about a pound with the associated fanzine iirc.

Sarah 4 (fanzine only) for £19 also, almost a pound a page.

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...

does NO ONE think it odd that a US pressing of a who LP went for $660 dollars? It's mono, but jeeze, it's still not a UK mono!

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 12 February 2006 19:39 (7 years ago) Permalink

dude, don't you work for those dudes? anyway, some records ARE just really hard to find in mono. or stereo. one or the other. you know? or sometimes you could only get a mono mix on a promo radio copy.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:16 (7 years ago) Permalink

yeah, i do. haha. but that's still a lot of money for that record, i think.

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:22 (7 years ago) Permalink

there are mono copies of pretty common records that almost nobody has ever seen cuz they are so hard to come by. so, they go for big bucks.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:27 (7 years ago) Permalink

but WHY are they so hard to come by? cuz they're languishing in basements and garages across the nation? it seems silly. who are the audiophile jerks getting into bidding wars over this shit?

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:30 (7 years ago) Permalink

well, google just told me only 500 were pressed with a poster. but i don't think this one even had a poster!

Special Agent Gene Krupa (orion), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:33 (7 years ago) Permalink

"but WHY are they so hard to come by?"

cuz by then everyone wanted stereo and they didn't make as many. try and find a mono copy of pipers at the gates of dawn. go ahead, i dare you.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:43 (7 years ago) Permalink

plus, little kidz would buy up the mono copies cuz they didn't give a shit and then they would wreck them. which is why it's hard to find really NICE mono copies. go ahead, try and find a super-clean mono copy of sgt.peppers, go ahead, i'll wait here. i'll tell you what you will find. 50 zillion stereo copies, most of them wrecked and the occasional clean stereo copy. but it probably won't even be a clean first pressing stereo copy.

scott seward (scott seward), Sunday, 12 February 2006 20:48 (7 years ago) Permalink

yeah, i mean, i unnderstand what yer saying, but still.. i just never realized the market dictated prices that high. if someone at a store tried to sell me a mono sgt. peppers for $500 I would be shocked and appalled.

In 2005, when Saint Etienne's last studio album Tales from Turnpike House was released, rumour spread that the band was about to split up. It turned out to be false: since Tales from Turnpike House, the band have put out a Christmas album, a film soundtrack, a complete reworking of their debut album Foxbase Alpha by producer Richard X and – surely the kind of thing you could only really imagine appearing in a Saint Etienne discography – an EP issued solely to those who'd responded to an online appeal by band member Bob Stanley, looking for the handful of albums he needed to complete his collection of Now That's What I Call Music compilations.

I don't know the intricacies of used record grading, but based on the photo I can't imagine how anyone could say the sleeve is in "very good" condition.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 09:17 (5 months ago) Permalink

It's like coin collecting grading. That sleeve is, indeed, in standard record grading, a 'very good'.

'Excellent' means not damaged in any way, but maybe small creases,
'Mint' means perfect, shop quality.

conversely, 'Good' means it's not actualy ripped, and it might have previous owner's name in it in marker-pen...

Mark G, Wednesday, 28 November 2012 09:34 (5 months ago) Permalink

IME "Good" = most of the sleeve is basically present, if not all in one piece. Ripped a bit + marker pen is VG-

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 28 November 2012 09:37 (5 months ago) Permalink

I mean, in terms of the vinyl itself, Good basically means "do not buy this record".

I used to collect coins when I was little and hadn't got into music much.

I was going to sell some of the 'duplicates' I had but when I told my mum that the victorian penny I had that was worn flat but still you could see what it was, the date, etc was 'Good Condition', she had an absolute fit thinking I was trying to defraud whoever was going to buy it. She wouldn't budge, even afer I showed her the grading guide, and woldn't allow it unless I described it as 'terrible'. So, I didn't bother...

Black Sabbath - Master of Reality, ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES rare originals!!!

sufferin' sockattacks (electricsound), Tuesday, 1 January 2013 00:47 (4 months ago) Permalink

Shel Talmy put the multitrack masters of My Generation on Ebay back in 2001 in order to get the Who camp moving on a proper remix/remaster/reissue. Wonder if this is some sort of similar gambit by the producer/engineer (but yeah, obviously using nth generation tapes...)

Tarfumes The Escape Goat, Tuesday, 1 January 2013 13:08 (4 months ago) Permalink

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.
