Also, here is a very similar one (same shop pricetag) to prove it is definitely a fake.

you know, i don't really care too much about melvins or nirvana, but that's kinda rad. its the kind of thing you'd think the rock & roll hall of fame (something else i don't really care about) would spring for.

Oh shit thats Joel! I just saw him yesterday at my store. He's a nice guy, always good at making room in our vinyl section by buying a good chunk of it. Comes in all the time. Though I just put in my two weeks notice so he's another regular I won't get to see as often, yet I foresee myself spending lots of time there as a customer again.

from the mps3 i heard -- sure, it's a good record. Not as good as any of the 4 Kyuss records. And i don't even like Kyuss that much.
One thousand bucks.
You could get half the Black Sabbath catalog on orignal Vertigo Swirl vinyl for that

Convince me that it is (or isn't) ok for me to spend £50 on an LP...
― only NWOFHM! is real (krakow), Friday, 13 July 2012 08:24 (eleven years ago) link
It's OK, if you can afford it. But what will you do with it once you have got it?
I get a bit dispirited when I've paid proper money for an LP which ends up getting 3 plays and going on the shelves with the rest. That seems to happen too often.
― Tim, Friday, 13 July 2012 08:33 (eleven years ago) link
(These days I have more fun scouring the cheap bins for £1 or £2 LPs which look unfamiliar. I'm just as likely to find something amazing that was as shelling out £££ for things other people seem to want. But that's hardly the point of this thread so feel free to ignore me.)
― Tim, Friday, 13 July 2012 08:37 (eleven years ago) link
I've never spent more than £25 on an LP but I could be persuaded to go to £50 if it was something REALLY AWESOME, but that's because I'm OK with just having things on CD (or even mp3) if they are hard to find on vinyl.
― The Eyeball Of Hull (Colonel Poo), Friday, 13 July 2012 13:01 (eleven years ago) link
Thesedays, those hard-to-find things get sold on once I've listened and either 'saved' or decided not worth it.

Old house music, you can find gems for $1
― coal, Friday, 13 July 2012 18:16 (eleven years ago) link
you can get great country records for a buck or two apiece.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Friday, 13 July 2012 18:24 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, 1970s country keeps on giving the value. It continually amazes me how good some of the records by neglected c-listers can be. You have to be prepared to buy some stinkers though, they're often indistinguishable from the gems.
When I started collecting records, getting on for 30 years ago, 1970s reggae was similarly proper cheap. I wish I'd had a bit more money back then.
― Tim, Friday, 13 July 2012 22:53 (eleven years ago) link
man, the idea of cheap seventies reggae just thrills me. i wish. almost all reggae records, save some classics that have been pressed/booted a million times, are just plain hard to find in the states.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Saturday, 14 July 2012 03:40 (eleven years ago) link
i love when people stumble upon my reggae 45s. its like they are dreaming. where am i, they say? pinch me. i could just put it all up online and make more money, but i'm nice.
― scott seward, Saturday, 14 July 2012 03:56 (eleven years ago) link
you kinda have to be a reggae dude to appreciate them though. and those people don't come around every day.
― scott seward, Saturday, 14 July 2012 03:57 (eleven years ago) link
around here i'm forever picking up weird and wonderful post-punk and new wave stuff for a euro or two...
shame i'm not into soca, as a local shop has recently dumped hundreds of soca 12"s in their bargain section for a euro a pop (correction, probably a good thing i'm not into soca..)
― Talcum Mucker, Saturday, 14 July 2012 07:53 (eleven years ago) link
I didn't buy it. Yet.
I greatly enjoy trawling secondhand collections for gems amidst the mundane too, but this instance is in the obsessive completism category, which is rather different.
― only NWOFHM! is real (krakow), Saturday, 14 July 2012 08:19 (eleven years ago) link
obassive completism is a dangerous pitfall of collecting (anything)...
there are very few artists whose complete output is worth owning.. and i tend to avoid completism unless i can pick up the non-essential parts for not-very-much..
A couple of months ago I decided to free up some space in my collection, and the first thing I did was release the non-essential completist parts of my collection back into the wild...
