I was looking at the Pixies' $200 new album and started surfing and found a bunch of "Bossanova" and "Trompe Le Monde" original CD singles for like $5. The b-sides on those singles are 1000000X better than anything I've heard off the new album.

But they don't say "Record Store Day" on them.

RSD exclusive l@@k oop!!!!

christmas candy bar (al leong), Friday, 18 April 2014 18:56 (ten years ago) link

Does anyone actually type "l@@k" into an eBay search?

austinato (Austin), Friday, 18 April 2014 19:28 (ten years ago) link

How about when an ebay listing has "WOW" in the title? I see this ALL the time too.

Evan, Friday, 18 April 2014 19:32 (ten years ago) link

This is why I failed as an eBay seller. Never once did I put "WOW" or "l@@k" into the item title or description.

It all makes sense now.

austinato (Austin), Friday, 18 April 2014 19:34 (ten years ago) link

i don't know but

141,544 results for "l@@k"

christmas candy bar (al leong), Friday, 18 April 2014 19:35 (ten years ago) link

So, the short answer is yes.

It's weird that for each album he's asking that much for each album.

Not ebay but is double crazy:

It's a misleading website - I had a play with it..

The ordinary black vinyl with hand-made sleeve (100 available) is $10
The test pressing version is $75 (there are five)
The Super-splatter colour version (five) is $100
There was a full-set version (one only) but that's gone.

(Digital download is $1)

Needless to say, I'm not checking out there.

Mark G, Wednesday, 15 October 2014 14:42 (nine years ago) link

Ohhhh that's confusing.

Evan, Wednesday, 15 October 2014 16:54 (nine years ago) link

Still- you can have the vinyl as colorful and limited as you want but if you're a nobody band what's the difference?

Evan, Wednesday, 15 October 2014 16:56 (nine years ago) link

Yr mom is usually good for one of everything. 3 guys, 3 moms, that's like $400 right there.

I have a worthless copy of that 45. Not on London records, of course. It's a totally unremarkable soul song. So weird.

12 Smiths fanzines, £999 plz

MaresNest, Monday, 5 January 2015 10:18 (nine years ago) link

was about to say there's no point linking to hopelessly optimistic chancers with zero bids but the rest of the car boot sale landfill this guy is punting, and the opening prices he wants, are kind of a treat tbh

lol they're not even the original fanzines, a 2006 reprint!

Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Monday, 5 January 2015 10:31 (nine years ago) link

I wonder what the cheapest price you could replicate that entire record collection for would be? the below is going for 25p on discogs marketplace for a start:

soref, Monday, 14 September 2015 22:47 (eight years ago) link

this one actually seems to be kind of rare? it doesn't appear on discogs, someone is asking £9.99 for it on another website

my wife got shouted at by danny la rue at work once, i don't think she'd thank me if i blew her savings on that

feargal czukay (NickB), Monday, 14 September 2015 23:17 (eight years ago) link

i reckon if you could be bothered you could find the whole lot for less than £50.

stirmonster, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 01:05 (eight years ago) link

You're not paying for the records; you're paying for the curation.

hardcore dilettante, Tuesday, 15 September 2015 01:17 (eight years ago) link

to think, you can save two whole trips to the dollar bins for the low low price of 2000 pounds.

VERY RARE LP
AMAZING DISCOVERY FROM INDIA
This is an impossibly rare LP
I've never seen it in all my 18 years OF record collecting

SORRY FOR NOT REVEALING THE NAME OF THE ALBUM OR UPLOADING A PICTURE .....AS IT IS A SECRET :))

just sayin, Saturday, 26 September 2015 08:35 (eight years ago) link

haha, that's hilarious

sounds a bit james last fusion to my ears but I guess it really is "FUNK/fuzz/ROCK/Moog/psych/garage"

niels, Saturday, 26 September 2015 09:03 (eight years ago) link

What a dick.

austinato (Austin), Saturday, 26 September 2015 14:52 (eight years ago) link

I have managed to find out what this is. A person told me privately (not the advertiser, someone else entirely), and I had a look around.

It's on sale at Discogs for £1800, and it sold recently on ebay for £250.

So, I think I can work out why the secrecy...

Mark G, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 12:27 (eight years ago) link

a future release on finders keepers ?

mark e, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 12:35 (eight years ago) link

mmm,

I dunno.

Mark G, Tuesday, 29 September 2015 12:41 (eight years ago) link

sounds a bit james last fusion to my ears but I guess it really is "FUNK/fuzz/ROCK/Moog/psych/garage"

yeah, this could easily be by any of the 70s era KPM crew.

and so no ... not a FK release at all - i posted that before hearing the clips

dude should have probably put some clothes on before listing this sealed KISS album
