Hmm, Popside has it £26 at it's lowest, £100 at it's highest. Most around the £40-£50 mark.
If you see it for $15, get it!

first swans ep, a bargain at $184
I have this, and the production is MUCH, MUCH better than the CD reissue.

the first swans EP is a sad story indeed. it's one of the best things they've ever done, but the mostly widely heard version of it is on the filth CD reissue which, as you point out, is a crap remix. I wouldn't say it sounds like it's being played down a well, but rather it lacks punch, it just sounds flat. it's a rather uppity record for swans, it "rocks" in the way some of the faster stuff on filth does but without the grimy production. the labor EP actually has a sheen to it, something I wouldn't characterize other swans recordings as having (until children of god).
I know at one time gira was selling the master tapes for $300 on swans.pair.com - this was probably around 1999 or 2000. it'll probably never get an accurate rerelease unless they go the mark e smith route and master a recording from the vinyl. which I seriously doubt will happen, given gira's obsessive quality control. then again, I never thought rob zombie would let soulcrusher out of the vaults but now there's this http://www.amazon.com/Let-Sleeping-Corpses-White-Zombie/dp/samples/B001H5HWTE/

― Badder Meinhof Syndrome (libcrypt), Thursday, 29 January 2009 18:40 (fifteen years ago) link
I found a blog that said Gira has no interest in issuing it on CD. I think I heard it at some point and, like the first Swans EP, it surprisingly didn't do anything for me.
― Glow In The Dark (Bimble), Thursday, 29 January 2009 18:54 (fifteen years ago) link
that circus mort EP is terrible. it should in no way be compared to the first swans EP (except in that bimble likes neither of them). have you ever heard the original mix, bimble?

This isn't on ebay but it still is crazy priced vinyl. There's 17 days to go and it is already at 26,000 dollars. Some say it may sell for close to 100,000 dollars and it's a 45 to boot !

That's kind of weird that people are out there putting "Don Pullen" into the ebay search engine and then driving an admittedly rare record of his up to almost $1,000 when I always end up finding his records for $1 to $6. $10 once sealed.
What I mean is, dude doesn't command cash, at least consistently $10-$30, for any old record the way some avant/free jazzers do like Sun Ra or Albert Ayler. I mean, the record's private press and seeing that it sold for about $1,000 already, I don't actually think in my head, "There's something not right about that." I just wanted to point up the difference between that and what some of his other records sell for in the wild, that there doesn't seem to be much demand for most of his records from the point of view of picking up his stuff in a few different towns and one city.
― bamcquern, Sunday, 7 June 2009 23:29 (fifteen years ago) link
the ONLY don pullen records that sell for money are the ones that he made with milford. and they always have. first press copies of the yale thing go for 1000+ and even 2000+. no big thing. the same 5 people sell them back and forth to each other every few years out of boredom. like misfits fans.

almost every of the so-called "collector prices" refer to mint copies. imo, extensive listening to your records makes them 'worthless' for collectors.
― meisenfek, Saturday, 13 June 2009 17:36 (fifteen years ago) link
a well cared for record will remain in good condition. listening alone isn't generally enough to degrade a record unless it's being played with a faulty, heavy or otherwise inappropriate stylus.
