Not a single one of these records sell for a dollar at any reputable store. Maybe at a yard sale or a junk shop (though everyone thinks the Beatles should sell for $50)

Can definitely be found for a dollar.
Sure, WB 80s label and/or VG condition. Are we saying clean originals, or just any old shit?
some I haven't seen mentioned:
Neil Young "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere"
AC/DC "Back In Black"
Led Zeppelin III
Cold Blood S/T
Pink Floyd "Wish you Were Here"

Well, I'm definitely not calling it a "dollar bin" record. But I find a nice early press at least once a year.
DON HRATE BE CRAUSE I'M BRUTIFUW
But it is not a rock LP
When you're dealing with an album like Astral Weeks that has never gone out of print, does it matter?
a) Either way, does it matter?
b) All five of these artists were big sellers in their day, and I've definitely seen these covers staring back at me from cheap used bins in stores, thrift shops and yard sales alike. Nothing rare or raer or whatever y'all call it here.
i guess its just me. ive never seen this record.
and its got some rock moves.
Seriously? Where do you live, Croatia?
Even so, when you're dealing with a catalogue staple like Van Morrison, "sale value" is so beside the point. Save the "sale value" for somebody marginal like the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band or something. (smile) Seriously. I've seen quite a few Van Morrison LP's on Warners in cheap racks, and Astral Weeks was one of them.
It's a big difference. The first press with the warner 7 arts logo actually gets some real money... and the orange label UK press is like 300 bucks or something.
