Looking at the "Completed Listings" search is a fun way of finding crazy music that actually sold. This is the highest priced CD sold in the last 3 months (I think it goes back 3 months)

a 1968 single that beats anything else they released by about three years (and beats their first album by five years!). and it's pretty damn good, too.

Are these dudes thinking 70s vinyl + white label + promo sticker = expensive artifact? Cause I have record shelves FULL of them I would sell to them at 1/10 the price.

that madrigal record is a trip and a half. those guys were well ahead of their time. 'stoned freakout' is definitely one of the few tracks that totally lives up to its title

browsed their website for pretty everyday records that i own and still have the price stickers on 'em. 3 to 5 times what i paid for the stuff at Cheapo and wherever. dumb.

sorry i was late on this but the store is even worse than they are on ebay...it seems like it's basically just a way for them to clear out all the garbage vinyl they acquire when they buy out collections and estate sales...so they ebay the valuable stuff...then put out all the beat up shit and charge like $6 for dollar bin shit....
so yeah i guess if you want to spend like $5 on a beat to shit Tommy Bolin record that doesn't even have a sleeve it's the place to go

Ha ha. Was considering visiting this place last time I was in mpls, but was way turned off by their $$$ vibe. Thankfully there's way better record stores there - Hymies for one.

i really love roadrunner for value, smaller but really well curated and always a lot of turnover and new shit...
