    hey tom...

    so this does actually exist? how much does the og go for?

    It exists. I didn't think it was much more than $100 though.

    100-200$.

    the cutty one is the stock issue w/ the love theme on the flip instead of the double sided promo copy

    Only a few on Popsike so I guess either no one wants it or no one sells it.

  • Jonny_PaycheckJonny_Paycheck 17,825 Posts
    well, popsike doesn't catch everything.

    I've sold plenty of records for $50 on up that aren't on popsike... sometimes titles that are listed on the site 10-15 times (just not my copy).

    No question.....I've looked through a few LP's in my life....as far as major labels go the Tousan has been pretty scarce....I've only seen it 3-4 times compared to something like Esquerita on Capitol which I've had at least 10 times....that said, I have no doubt SOI sees it often.

    I would gladly trade our wealth of Tousan for
    your bounty of The Remains ...

    Over here THOUSANDS rare disco. (points to an entire bookcase of classical box sets)

    not rare by any means.


    Agreed. I got my copy on eBay for $25. solid VG+ with lyric sheet.

    Food's Forever Is A Dream is fairly hard to find, but on the level of Gandalf for the Capitol-minimum pressing rate.

    I have an interesting copy of the Remains' LP from the 70s with bonus tracks (!). I've never seen it since, but I've never looked for it, either.

    Is it the red wax release on Spoonfed??

    Does Vertigo count as a major label?

    Yes. I don't believe that it's worth much, or anything, but it suffices. How is it regarded?

    I have both the white label and the palm trees stock and both have two songs (I think only one of them has a Sussex logo in addition to the WB one though). That doesn't mean there aren't 2 different promo issues though...

    The Hollies "Draggin' My Heels" is Frickin' rare man.

    As far as 12" go, the red vinyl Barrabas is up there, though I don't really get this song, maybe I need to hear it in proper context.

     

    Never thought the Hollies was that difficult to turn up, but I'm sure you see many more 12" in NY.

    Doors "S/T" Uncensored Mono on Elektra

    What did they censor on this album? Is there an uncensored stereo?

    Great music....probably worth 3-4x what it sold for when it was new.

    you know, the end of "The End"..."Mother, I want you fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck you" part...I believe there are uncensored stereos...

    Do Stax & Motown qualify as major labels?

    Considering how much of Stax/Volt's titles were distributed through Atlantic, it comes close though I'm assuming there were smaller releases that may not have made it to the Atlantic network.

    Yeah I was thinking of it as an Atlantic subsidiary but one or both of the Stax releases I named may have been manufactured/distributed completely independently...

    Its interesting to consider what qualifies as a "major" in the decades before a handful of companies bought up all the competition and became "The Majors" though.

    Wild, I've been a Doors fan forever and collecting records much of that time yet I've never heard of this - you'd think the price guides would mention it...

    huh. I ony have the stock issue, but have been offered WLPs as trade and they have all been w/o the love theme. who knows. really wish there was a full OST release for this.


    I'd REALLY like a green/white ringer t-shirt like the bad guy guidos in the film w/ the boxing polar bear...

    Yeah, I thought about the record I posted and I guess Atlantic was still a small independent when they put it out...so it probably doesnt qualify in retrospect

    This is another thread, but I wonder what the first record that was censored musically and repressed "clean"...Elektra had two in two years, The Doors and The MC5...

    not really much as a disco tune, but a b-boy anthem for sure...

    No doubt on the Ashford & Simpson. Never even seen it.

    Hollies I've had once, the amount of folks clamoring for it led me to think it's pretty rare. I never see it, even at a premium price.

    Well, before the '80s rolled around, indie labels actually had a shot at the charts. By the standards of the fifties, sixties and seventies, small labels like, say, All Platinum, Jewel, Excello, Duke, Starday, King and the like were considered independent labels. But because they had fairly high profiles, a lot of crate-digger types consider them "majors" just because they weren't put out by some wacko in a basement. Even A&M and Motown were considered indies at one point.

    One of y'all mentioned Fania. Even though they had one or two breakouts and were briefly distributed by CBS, I have a hard time considering them a major. To me, Fania was like a step away from Folkways (and I'm not downing either label, I'm just saying; Fania was big in salsa circles, but hardly anywhere else).

    Brothers Unlimited on Capitol

    HOW rare is this? one of very few LP's i kick myself for not buying the one time i saw it...although i dont remember liking what i heard a WHOLE lot....


    I got about $80 for a VG+ copy about 4-5 years ago.

    80 to maybe at most 150. Great record though... AKO I think you would really like it (now).

    damn. the one i found was $20, but it was a while ago and that seemed like a lot back then. hahaha

    wow...i had no idea. i found this in a second hand store in small town Wisconsin for $2. my day has been made!
