yikes at those prices! have never looked into the high end classical market... is that down to rarity value or are those pressings really that much better?

Those really fringe classical collectors are pretty sycophantic.

how about $20k for an 'orange' white album that was clearly a dye or marker job?

Why would anyone go through the process of printing a boot cover, pay the extra expense to emboss the cover, only to put legit records inside — doesn’t make sense.
lol this guy cannot be serious
The records themselves are fairly marginal. Of course that really doesn’t matter, since you can easily replace them.
the records are marked VG-. $10 says this is a beat up copy of the White Album spray painted orange

Just going on all information from anywhere on the internet that I can see, plus the information from my Beatles experts, it seems pretty likely that this will be your only chance to own this, as it’s the only copy anyone has ever heard of.
― niels, Friday, 27 October 2017 06:18 (six years ago) link
Only the front, of a sleeve that is made from one piece of card?
Its not coloured by marker pens, or someone's paint brush.
Its a spray paint job, then.
― Mark G, Friday, 27 October 2017 06:47 (six years ago) link
look at the clues guys. orange is a pun on apple; orinj is also an anagram of ringo. it's likely that this unique copy was pressed especially for him and if you can buy it for less than $3m, it's a steal
― plp will eat itself (NickB), Friday, 27 October 2017 08:50 (six years ago) link

It's been in my "Want" page for aeons, it just never comes up for sale.
I did get the "Fuzzy Warbles" box back whenever, for a daft price (literally had to re-contact the seller to ask "This is all the CDs? Not an empty box or "contains 2" type thing?" but it was.)
But seeing as how I have all the music from the box (actually, both orig albums and the new CD sets), it dunt matter.

Very Rare Misprint LP Two Side 3's - Communicate * [LP] by Sasha + John DigweedPre-Owned
$20,000.00 or Best Offer+$44.19 shipping
WILL REFUND 125% if returned with proof that item is not authentic...(VERY RARE; POSSIBLY ONE OF A KIND) Great investment opportunity This is hands down, one of my most prized possessions and may very well be priceless. If you were in the House/Trance scene back in the day, then you'd remember how hot and heavy the dance floor would get whenever the DJ dropped Trisco. This LP has two side 3's instead of the side 3 and side 4 that should be there. I didn't list this as a new item only because I have removed the record from it's sleeve, but it has never been played. The sleeve has very little wear due to sitting on the shelf but is in extremely good condition. Because I have never played the album, I cannot say wether or not the label is a misprint or if it's the label and the actual record as well.
Cheers and happy bidding!

this is insanely lazy and funny because you could easily check any notes in the middle actually pressed on the record, or eyeball the number of and length of tracks on both sides and see if they match

I once had in my possession a copy of The Fountainhead (yeah, I decided to hate read it) and there was a 50 page segment in the middle that was just the previous 50 pages repeated. I guess I should have held on to it as a highly sought-after collectible but I was mostly pissed that if I wanted to continue punishing my brain by reading Ayn Rand I’d need to find another copy so I threw it in the recycling bin

this is a weird ass phenomenon. if i ran a record store i'd be tempted to have a conversation like this:
me: would you say the beatles were popular, sir?
guy trying to pawn off beatles records: yeah, definitely.
me: would you say that they sold millions of records?
GTTPOBR: of course! they're the beatles.
me: so why would you think that one of those many millions of records is a rarity?

I think people get the idea that misprinted records, books, etc are valuable comes from stamp collecting, where I think that’s a “thing.”

Mint or NM condition original pressings of Beatles records are certainly worth money, because so manh of them have been overplayed and wound up just trashed. But they have also remained in print since they were released in various masterings so it's not like it's difficult to find excellent condition versions of those albums from some era. The more scarce ones are strange pressings from South America etc, particularly if they were variants with different covers or even album names.
