    Have we yet reached the point where folks are posting MP3s of records so they can throw them on the 'bay a couple weeks later, instigating a frenzy??

    i dunno which scale you're using (good records, ebay, gemm whatever) but cannonball adderley's 'soul of the.., love, sex.. etc.' series has at least doubled in value over the years.

    we had a black messiah go for 60$ on the 'bay, but back when we did set sales, the price never topped 25$. it strange that the abundance of adderley reissues didn't slow down the market.

    but eddie fisher, that thing is skyrocketing.

    Really? I thought all of those Cannonball Adderly titles had been reduced to $10 records.

  • Eddie Fisher had routinely gone pretty cheap on ebay. $30-40ish. Shops could always get $60-75 for it but now with the real headz situation you will see that on ebay.

    Lovelites was, at one point, a $1-150 record. I bet the next one gets over 2.

    The shame in all of this is the people buying it probably don't own basic shit... I'm kinda on the fence about the real headz thing to be honest

    Did I mention that my grandmother is forwarding me the contact of a one-time member of this group?

    in shops around here, they can pop up for 10-15 bucks but the online market can get nutty. the guy that paid 60$ was japanese.

    are they priced that low in NYC?

  • GuzzoGuzzo 8,611 Posts
    they're that low in LA too

    Usually.

    I meant online, though; I didn't think there was much of a demand for these anymore.

    Yeah the only title that gets any money is Soul Of The Bible, Love Sex And The Zodiac with Rick Holmes gets $20 maybe, other than that...

    I think getting one price on ebay doesn't mean a record's fundamental price has changed...

    Please to post the Johnny Paycheck approved "basic shit I need" list.

    (the above sentence contains not one iota of sarcasm)


  • depends what kind of music you're into honestly but start with the basics, from Black Sabbath to the Temptations

    Don't mind me I'm just an old bugger that thinks people shouldn't want $200 records until they've been collecting for a while

    true. but eddie fisher doubling is a phase, it'll fall back.

    so has "realheadz" changed the game?

    I hear ya. I'm probably covered there. Would be innerested in reading something like the "Top 100 Consensus SS records" or something similar.

    I'm happy enough to learn the names of some of these bands and cop me a $10-12 reissue, or even settle for mp3s. (ducks, avoids catcalls) Do you want the music or do you want the artifact? Wait, I know the answer: both.

    the fathers children lp on mercury has shot way up in price...5 years ago it was a $5-10 record in stores but now i'm seeing them go for $80-$100+ on ebay. "Hollywood dreaming" is a dope song though.

    interesting. I used to think like this but the truth is there are some unique, beautiful, and rare items that many should want. Its no ones fault that the demand for these pieces has raised their value.



    Take anything by the Whatnauts for instance. Of the ones I've heard I think they put out some good quality records I heard my first whatnauts a few months after I actively started looking for soul and funk LP's. I was a little shocked when I found my first one at Wax Tracks back '99 and Rich said $200.



    I guess what I'm saying is you shouldn't discount finding music you love cause its raer or expensive. some people will just think a lovelites is that much more worth having in their collection that a Four Tops.



    Although if your looking for the raer ust cause its raer than you are doing a major dis-service to everyone but the sellers.

    I've heard that one track, Hollywood something or other. Check the bid histories on the some of the last few to get up on ebay, you'll see my name there

    I feel you *d*m, but I think appreciation is more what Jonny's alluding to. It's like growing up with a silver spoon shoved in your mouth, as opposed to actually having to work for the things you really want. It's just nice know that people also realize that there's a solid foundation that all this raer is founded on. The harder to come by records are really just extensions of that. In a phrase, know your roots.

    and if you refuse to buy a re-issue/CD of S.O.U.L., Al Green, the Whatnauts, etc. because you have to have the $XXX original, then you are doing yourself a dis-service. Get that beautiful music in your life until you can get your hands on that historical artifact (or whatever the fuck the term is).

    I dont know about some you fellows, but Im in this for the fetish aspect of it just as much as the music aspect of it. Im totally comfortable with that. I dont think there is anything wrogn with paying two hundred dollars for something because there were only three hundred made. It makes me feel good to have something that is totally handmade and like a limited print artist book. Why, I dont know. But that seems to be something that comes from collecting over a number of years. Its like I constantly need greater and greater fixes of rarity and originality. But I dont understand how people, after a few years of collecting, can all of a sudden feel that need to drop two hundred dollars on something just cause its raer. Personally I keep the crazy shit Im chasing to myself. The regular shit that everyone knows, who cares.

    Then you'd be buying it twice! Or is the re-selling reissues game that strong nowadays?

    Thanks for posting that list. I dunno if that thread cleared anything up though...it devolved into bickering, imagine that!

    Surprised to see not one Isaac Hayes album on that list too. And no Funkadelic s/t? Whaaaa?
