Top 5 Records That Are Now Twice As Expensive

[Guzzo]

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

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 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?

lol. I see ya workin. I haven't been in that thread cos there's not much more I can say until my Mavs do some real playoff damage. They are, for now, chugging along, getting healthy, holding down w/ ease the third best record in the league, and occasionally giving up 80 point games to (alleged) rapists.

C'mon R***, get out here and help me defend these Mavs!

Sir Drewn, if I could direct your attention to the events of Saturday, November 19.......

j/k...we don't have to go back there.

I see no problem with wanting records after you hear them regardless of how long you've been at it or how expensive it is. Everyone has different tastes and different wallet sizes so there really shouldn't be a set of rules. If people are passing up good commons that's their problem.
