Surely Pearly Queen Quit Jivin is undissable to everyone on the board. I expect the Scorpio love to flow. Rokks - Patience seems above dispute
Lps ? Sarah Webster Fabios Folkways would be hard to dislike Bobby Boyd Congress first lp on Okapi. Marijata the blue one hard to begrudge them.

It's been my experience in the world of psych/rock collecting that there are some titles that no one will argue are not worth $1,000+.
For the most part these are records that have held that kind of value for 10+ years and even the re-issues sell for over $100.
A few off the top of my head would be....

The Bachs

Wouldn't Mariani's Perpetuum Mobile or The Moon Blood record count as far as psych records are concerned as well as the Music Emporium? I've seen the latter get crazy figures when they were auctioned.

If your talking about Psych n tings definetely Paebiru and Aguaturbia I just dont get the Tarkus. The first Can lp would have to be there definetely the Index mentioned above. Ithaca , Mark Fry etc I wouldnt say no to that Israeli Churchills lp.

Well, I guess it depends what you mean by "worth." If you mean people's sense of what a record will sell for, then yeah, a consensus of worth probably wouldn't be too hard to reach among those decently familiar with the market. If, however, you mean people's sense of a record's inherent value in relation to its market price, then I don't think there can be any real consensus.
If there does seem to be more unanimity in the psych/rock world, I suspect that it might be because that school of collecting has been around long enough and has been codified enough that the disparity has shrunk closer to the point where the market becomes the taste. The crate-digging school of collecting--which, vigorously as some may front, remains the absolute engine behind soulstrut--is definitely getting to that point, too, but is for the moment just young enough that a big slice of its constituency can still say "fuck your heroes" with a straight face.
But yeah, I assumed that here you were talking about the latter, more ephemeral definition of "worth," since I took this thread as an extension of your points in the Black Out thread, which seemed based more on the inherent value idea. Over there, you seemed rueful that folks could not grasp the abstract worthiness of stuff like Black Out and the Soulettes (for what it's worth, I was kinda shaking my head, too).
Maybe I read you and this thread wrong, though. If you were in fact asking whether there are records that soulstrut can agree would sell for four figures, then I'd like to change my answer to "Yeah, probably."

Seriously - this topic keeps on recycling itself every few months and everyone takes up on the same positions.
Just remember: in the world of "collectible consumerism" records are pretty fucking low on that totem polem compared to other forms of mass-produced items that people assign high value to. Look at the used book market for example. Arguing over whether a record is worth "four figures" is laughable to other markets where loot like that is small time.

Thanks Dad, now go back to your antique sign collecting and rare table lamps.

i can't wait until a strutteur shows up on pawn stars trying to hock a verocai, and they need to call another strutteur to appraise it's value.

As an aside, have you heard that this has been bootlegged in Brazil? People are going crazy down there for it. I even had a dude in Sao Paulo ask if I knew who did it and could get copies!!

I'm pretty sure if a mint George Jackson "Tender Love" hit the bay it would approach four figures...vg copies have gone for 700. It may possibly be the best and rarest Memphis r&b 45...and if I had the $, I would drop the loot on it...
