    Not really expensive by any means but.... I'd buy Jan and Lorraine "gypsy people" for $40 and JoAnn Garrettt
    "just a taste" for $50 again in a heartbeat.

    fuck that ill ride for eric mercury

    today i am thinking about spending 40 dollars on Ruthann Friedman and it will be worth it (40 is definitely my upper limit)

    Do it! As far as femme folk goes, this is as good as it gets. (including Linda Perhacs)

  • Paying ??25 for a mint UK pressing of The Zombies Odessey & Oracle about 13 years ago. Most I'd paid for a record at the time but was definitely worth it for both musical and monetary value.

    Woah. I've never seen or read about that one. Can you say a few words about it? I like his album "Supernatural".


    Yeah this has been released on Bam-Boo in 1975. All other Birdsong Lps are nice but I think 'Dance Of Survival' is his best work. I can listen to this from beginning to end again and again. It's hard to describe the sound of this album, maybe 'spiritual and spaced out' , LOL. Here is the title track so you see what I mean:

    Here is the tracklisting:

    1. Dance Of Survival
    2. Possessed (Take The Evil Spirits Away)
    3. Something Ain't Right (Gotta Go Home)
    4. What's Your Sign?
    5. Night Of The Full Moon
    6. Your Smile Gave Birth To My Idea
    7. Astral Walk (Instrumental)

    This LP has already been reissued if you don't want to spend too much money!

    Totally mindblowing album, easily my favorite Birdsong release. I've previously only heard the horrible quality reish boot (DON'T GET IT...HOLD OUT FOR THE REAL THING!), so the sound clip you posted was nothing short of relevatory.

    This album needs a proper remastering!

    I thought of that one, too, when I saw the title of the thread.

    Totally unique.

    Every track is lovely. But the topper is their version of Everybody Loves The Sunshine.

    I would just like to resurect this thread to bump/cosine Odub and say that I just listened to 'Hang on In There,' and I will never regret buying that record.

    It's good to know what you'll regret before making any decision.

    got a copy of The Soul President - Got To Have It on Big Mack, three years ago for $100, and it's worth every fricken penny of that

    K in Canada.

    This is rich, because K traded me what is basically a $150 record for the Zhivago, back when I was pretty young and green. Yet it's something he deems as an "expensive record" worth his "money".

    Amazing.

    the K fallout continues. its like Skylab breaking up and raining down molten bits for months. Im so glad my one possible trade with him never happened. Im even glad he was asshurt about it! heh heh.

    Got my OG for $10 out of TSL about 3 years back, all because there's SLIGHT water damage to the cover. And I mean SLIGHT.

    Not big bucks, but here are two that come to mind:




    Cosign. Love this one although I had to then buy a reissue as well so I could actually hear it...

    Not too pricey but here's another one which always lifts me...

    Can??t find a picture of this, but the most expensive record I ever bought was

    Johnny Teupen - Harporythm (40??? in Stuttgart), and I LOVE it. Just the right balance of muzak, funk and latin. "Canon Mood" is a certified facemelter.

    Johnny Teupen - Harporythm

    very nice record! I am still looking for this one :-( "Play Harp" on Saba and "Harpadelics" on MPS are quality Lps as well.
