Well, "Path through the forest" is alongside "My father's name was dad" The Fire and The Flies' "Not your stepping stone" in the list of highly valuable psych singles. (Although that's a heck of a bid-up!)

That other "One in a million" one I don't know, but also: whew!

nice little collection

fredereek hernando >>>>> path through the forest. worth every cent imo

Yeah One in a Million were awesome. Their song "No Smokes" is crazy, kind of a freakbeat/psych precursor to Clark Hutchinson's stuff like "Free to Be Stoned" or "Death, the Lover." Um, vocally, mostly.

Crazy Priced Vinyl Hair On EBAY

Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Friday, 25 February 2011 17:46 (thirteen years ago) link

(not sure where else to post this one, but) a few weeks ago i sold a kinda-sorta-little-bit-hard-to-find Merzbow thing on ebay, then was getting the shipping label ready when i noticed the buyer: J3ff M4ngum... pretty cool, huh?

I once sold a book on eBay to Glenn Mercer. But not that Glenn Mercer, dammit.

Ha, I sold a CSN&Y album to Allan Clarke. I presume it wasn't the same guy...

my brother sold a bunch of rare electro 12"s to Aphex Twin a few years ago. a couple of weeks later he used some of the money to buy some fancy speakers for his home studio. after googling the name of the seller he found out that he'd bought them from Aqua. haha!

lol @ shuga

ˆ°ᴥ°ˆ (electricsound), Friday, 25 March 2011 02:05 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, shuga's whole shop is just... ridiculous. the mark zydiak record they're trying to get $$$ for is a fairly common rekkerd in these parts.

was listening to half speed mastered air supply last night and it was totally 3D mayhem. sounded unreal.

scott seward, Monday, 28 March 2011 22:21 (thirteen years ago) link

shuga is such an embarrassment to my city.

they are also known for buying up local records from small local labels then marking them up from $11 to $18 and selling them in the store (stuff that is in print and the label probably has like 700 of in boxes)

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 28 March 2011 22:38 (thirteen years ago) link

are they affiliated to volcanic tongue?

Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 28 March 2011 22:39 (thirteen years ago) link

no it's just some online seller from here who recently opened a brick and mortar store to buy collections and bring in new stuff...and to clear out all the poor quality garbage stuff he can't sell online and inflated prices.

but hey if you want to buy like 80s clapton records beat up and with no sleeve for $8 by all means. such a joke.

definitely has ruffled some feathers in the local record community.

Bleeqwot the Chef (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 28 March 2011 22:43 (thirteen years ago) link

(it was a joke)

Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 28 March 2011 22:48 (thirteen years ago) link

VT do horde stuff til it's OOP though then sell it for a lot. Notorious for it and that's just one of the reasons david keenan gets a lot of flak

Algerian Goalkeeper, Monday, 28 March 2011 22:49 (thirteen years ago) link

oh sorry haha, but honestly nothing would surprise me anymore, not familiar with volcanic tongue

that's shitty business. my friend saw his own band's record there for $20 the week after they had their album release show (sold for $10 at the show and they still had 300+ of their 500 run left)

Maybe that isn't crazy priced, there are supposedly only a handful of copies around. My boss is pretty happy about it though.

if you are a REAL punk you won't pay more than $10,0000 for a record. you gotta stay true to the streets.

scott seward, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:33 (thirteen years ago) link

$10,000 even

scott seward, Thursday, 14 April 2011 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link

dude gottpunch you should have snagged that heavy the world boxed set from your boss! makes me sad that it only sells for 20 bucks. so much time and effort involved...

Yeah, I feel like I should buy their stuff, but just haven't gotten around to it. Where's a good album to start? One of the band members stops by our store once in a while with a box full of their stuff.

GLOWER METAL (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Friday, 15 April 2011 05:13 (thirteen years ago) link

ask him if he has the debut! triple lp they put out themselves. that's one of the only things i still need.

i dunno, start earlier rather than later. the boxed set is just kinda over the top and crazy. especially the booklet that comes with it that lists every practice session they ever played.

scott seward, Friday, 15 April 2011 12:04 (thirteen years ago) link

runes. that's the one i need.

Not really looking to sell, Check out the pictures

Oh that K tape collection has been around for AGES. Must be piling up the listing fees by now surely?

£500 seems cheap. wasn't there something similar that went for thousands? (had been framed and presented to staff member or something?)

Gina G acetate?

It's £500 at the moment, but
1) there's a while to go yet
2) um, even now it would be easy to make one of these...
