I spotted my long time white whale in a mixed lot of crap 45's on ebay. For this one record I was willing to spend as much as $200 for a copy which is unusual even for me. Luckly for me the seller put the entire lot up for a buy it now price of $90. To me this is a steal being that this record is nearly impossible to find and I know of only 6 other people who own a copy. Let's see if you guys can spot the hidden gem.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4884825288

Actually it was the Pleasure "Glide" 45 on Fantasy.
Stop playin. That's a common maybe $10 record. Where the fuck do you live? San Jose?
That the only record in the lot that I knew... so whats the score?
Laugh-out loud funny! Two thumbs way up!
haha not cool. but glad to see san jose in the respective consciousness of soulstrutters though.
ditto... i was just bashing sj in a pm to brian. cool! hahaha... really tho... sj sucks. nope no records in sj.
ima go with Rory-O. do i win?
You get the prize!!!! You win a free copy of Pleasure's "Glide" and the Tony Atkins 45!
Well for a while it was very hard to find, partially because everyone seemed to have the kind of partial info like "got a smiley face on the label" but nobody seemed to know exactly all of it... or at least wasn't talking.
Since then I think five, including this one, have popped up in the past year....... that's a lot for such a supposedly rare record.
That said $90 is a steal!
Its not hard to find... Its impossible to find. I've been trying to find it for over 7 years and all I could get was half the song on an MP3 someone sent me. I've kept a $200 "Do It Your Way" fund in my paypal account just in case I saw it somewhere.
dont test my record gangster... im
hahah.. okay ill go back to cleaning records now. have a nice afternoon everyone...
Wait! Did you say five? Where the hell I was at for the other four?
I don't know it, can you post a mp3 snippet?
I have the first half of the song somewhere on a cd (if I can find it). Or I could just post an mp3 of the actual 45 when I get it.
that'd do nicely....thanks
They were all sold privately.
Fucken Eh!
Congratulations that's a dope find for sure. I've been looking for that record for a while myself.
