There are loads of punk singles that go for hundreds of pounds -
Bad Brains - Pay To CumCrime - Frustrationa lot of singles featured on Killed By Death/Bloodstains comps (not all of them are that rare though)
I'm quite happy with my bootleg reissue of Pay To Cum, no need to splash out $1000 on an original copy...

There HAD to have been some shill bidding going on with this one!! According to the average completed auction thingy the average price of an LP of Revolver was about $20. So not only does this person sell his for $460, but they also have two people asking them questions, one BEGGING them not to end the auction early. It's not even in mint condition!

The Beatles auction looks legitimate to me. Beatles collectors are obsessed with--and even specialize in--such minutiae as sleeve stickers. The condition of the record and everything else becomes moot. If you look at most of the heavy bidders for this auction, they all seem interested in Beatles stuff with "unusual" stickers.
Now whether or not that makes that copy of Revolver "worth" $400+ is another discussion entirely.

One of the albums is 'evident' as an original pressing, and was $240 or thereabouts before the ad was cancelled/rescheduled.

this sounds pretty dope tbh
“Earl "Goggles" Freeman was an outcat's outcat: musician, poet, visual artist, and all-around interesting fellow. Born in Oakland in 1937, Mr. Freeman was a noteworthy but somewhat enigmatic musician who was most active recording-wise when he was an expat on the '60s Paris free jazz scene. His discography includes dates by Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, Kenneth Terroade, Noah Howard, Selwyn Lissack, Mike Osborne, and even Gong's first record. A Korean War veteran, he often wore an aviator's cap and goggles, hence his nickname. (He is also rumored to have worn a parachute onstage on at least one occasion.) In 1972, French state investigators hauled Freeman in for questioning and subsequently declared that he possessed a "Dangerous Political Image". Under threat of imprisonment, he hightailed it to Amsterdam. He hung t for a while until some folks smashed his bass, signaling that it might be time for another move.
Freeman was living in New York City by the mid-'70s, w he would occasionally perform with The Music Ensemble. He also directed the Universal Jazz Symphonette, as heard on the elusive Soundcraft '75 album. While its fidelity leaves quite a bit to be desired, the LP is highly sought after because it features some of the earliest recorded work from William Parker, Daniel Carter, Raphe Malik, Billy Bang, and many other young players on the scene during that period, including Henry P. Warner and Philip Spigner, a.k.a. Adeyeme (incorrectly credited as Abe Yeme on the LP sleeve), who would later collaborate with Freeman in The Freestyle Band.”

i mean, the record was in my ebay alerts for a reason!

i've seen that seller shopping in nyc and long island record stores. when he left the l.i. store the owner said "yep, that's the guy everyone want to be." his records generally sell for absurd amounts. this collection does seem to be outside his usual wheelhouse, which is sealed classic rock records.

TSF you ever hit up Infinity Records in Massapequa? Not a record collector but I love that one.
― Deflatormouse, Wednesday, 2 August 2023 23:43 (nine months ago) link
that is my favorite LI store -- in fact it is the site of my bobdjukic sighting. haven't been there in a while though. joe the owner is good people.

I love Bob; he has always been super kind to me and generally a pleasure to talk to. I haven’t seen him much the last few years though. A lot of record people are much worse.
Earl Freeman is an incredible character! Poet anbd artist as well as musician. My friend Adam had been working on an archive of his work - https://www.50milesofelbowroom.com/articles/500-earl-freeman.html
Also I like infinity records too!
― ian, Thursday, 3 August 2023 01:16 (nine months ago) link
Yeah it's my favorite store, love the staff there, fun to hang out and chat and browse, cool audio gear, record fair prices, nostalgic af.
city folks can do a day trip, it's right by the LIRR and you can walk over to Krisch's afterwards for the best ice cream on the planet :)

Infinity is a quality store. I am kicking myself for not splurging on the sealed ZZ Top Rio Grande Mud I say there last year. One that got away.
