most worth it hundred dollar record--???

2 observations:


- whilst theres no doubt good records are beign posted up here, they're the same ones which have been discussed for eon's


- most of the records being posted up are available on reish








Three australian joints that ain't re-issued and are worth a US bill (a mere $125 Australian these days)





Arena


Sue Barker


Jazz co-op





I'd post pic's if Sheep's site was still up, but its down at the mo - I'd posit that they'd be harder to track down than a Dorothy Ashby LP for example, however you like to track
 
I would pay 100 for that Dorthy Ashby 'Rubaiyat' joint....




And you'd be at least $50 short...




I just got Rubaiyat on the bay yesterday for under 50 bucks in VG condition

Ha, that was you? I considered bidding, but all my other Cadet collectibles are mint, so I decided to hold out and save up. The "pops and clicks w/ surface noise" made me a bit nervous...





The seller lives around the corner from my folks. What dope records are doing in my backyard that aren't already owned by me boggles the mind.
 
Good for $100?

Gal Costa?

Soul Generation – Beyond Body And Soul

These are the only two records I ever tried to pay $100 for:

The Osmium one went for $103, I think I bid like $92?

This one hurt, I was the high bidder for 6 days, winning at like $37 with 4 minutes left, and ended up missing out by $8:

I think the record I pay $100 for will end up being one I've never heard of, where some record store employee I know plays it for me like, "check it out, maaan..." and my face melts and my wallet leaps from my pocket, spraying plastic and paper money...

 
chiming in on the hip hop side of things, i think most of the classic shit are pretty much readily available on other formats and on 12" (which, as far as major labels go, are dirt cheap) and, as far as lps go, there are a ton of shitty pressings that detract from their value, plus there's less of a market/fetish for authentic originals, a lot of djs are content with reissues. here's a couple exceptions, off the top of my head:

(although this would probably pull much more than that, i haven't seen one for sale in years...)

now that i think of it, most of those $100+ rap records are NOT worth it. most of my favorite rap records are $20-50 joints. a lot of the rightfully super valuable shit (let's say an organized konfusion) has deteriorated in favor of some obscure shit that pales in quality. really only like ultramagnetic and lord finesse have held their value over the past few years.





now that i think of it, i also have a lot of $100+ rap pieces that i'm not completely in love with and should probably sell off while the market is ripe...





as for funksoulbreaksraer i'd say my big picks have already been mentioned -


meters - s/t


s.o.u.l. - what is it?


24 carat black (probably over a bill now though, no?)


headless heroes


what color is love


OSMIUM


that jb female funk - lyn & marva have been pushing the three digit mark for a minute and are absolutely worth it
 
Good for $100?:

Love this record. But $100 is WAY too much!

ramp~~~~~~~_comeintok_101b.jpg

Solid NO on this one

nathan_davis_if.jpg

Super-size YES. no Brainer here. $100 is highway robbery

lemuria.jpg

Heard it and thought it blew. I'd still buy it for $50

these%20trails.jpg

yes or no

lafayetteaf_malik~~~~_101b.jpg

SOSOO YES on this one. Funny, but the producer of this record and I exchange emails in French every once in a while. I don't know why he ever wrote me.
 
by the way if anyone wants to swap malik for soul generation, please holler.

DIGDUG, you're on soulseek?
You need to let me know who you are mayne. Holler at me.


oh, and I just came up with the ultimate name for a band. i would definitely pay $100 for this if I saw it:

IRON STEEL

Yo, I have a trashed copy of this I got for $1.99!
I didn't even know it was a c-note record, I just knew it was some Natural Four shit I had never seen, for $2.

When I looked it up on eBay I was like

It's super dope, but I can't say $100 dope. No way. Never does seem to turn up, though.

My copy is noisy as all hell, but no skips, all that $2 beatupraer goodness...
 
I understand, it's definitely not for everyone but that's one of my all time favorite groups. another record that goes for a bill I like:

4004825653.jpg
 
I understand, it's definitely not for everyone but that's one of my all time favorite groups.
Oh, hey, it's "for me" all the way...I just consider $100 some kind of holy threshold of money spent, I guess...it's a fantastic record, though.

What's the Lovelites like?
 
Lovelites is kinda sweet girl group soul with lots of harmony...slightly funky at times.
If you really dig groups like the Emotions/Charmells/The Fuzz etc this is on hit and incredibly hard to find.
 
Good for $100?:








everydaypeo_everydayp_101b.jpg



yes or no

this is one of the best funk records ive heard




I've actually never heard that one. [lil dude alert]





Soul Generation I sold for around $50-$60 last year. It's a decent record but not $100 worthy IMO.
 
I think this one is worth buying and you can get it for less than a hundred.

More than just a Nas sample.
This is at academy in brooklyn for exactly 100 dollars. I didn't get it. Get yours cause I'm too chicken.
