Good point. It's all relative. Is $200 one less night out at Ruth Chris or you gonna have to float that utilty bill for a month now?
Top 5 Records That Are Now Twice As Expensive

Hey man, it's all I got as a Mavs fan. The body of work the Pistons are laying down this year is beyond impressive. (now takes this shit to the NBA thread...)

Folks starting grumbling about this when dudes were buying $100 funk 45s who hadn't yet placed a dent in the James Brown or Otis Redding discographies... and its hard to argue with that
Like shelling out a grand for Leafhound without owning the first several Sabbath records...

I don't buy the "you need the foundation records before getting into the heavy shit" arguments at all. I mean, little dude hears a Lovelites cut, has some cash and buys the LP for $80 back in August. Who can bust on him for that? The JB and Otis shit will ALWAYS be readily available for cheap. Get the good while you can because a lot of it is just going to get more expensive with time. As much as you're buying a $200 lp for the music on it, you're also usually buying it with almost an investor's mindset-that you're not going to be losing money should the need arise in the future that (god forbid) you have to sell shit off. That's how I think about it to a degree anyway.

Man, I can't condone that shit
If you're buying expensive funk 45s and do not own any Otis you need to go back to school...

This all reminds me of two things:
1. Mr. Supreme in an old Soulman column, to some new jack: "Yeah and when you get tired of this, I'll buy your collection"
2. A collection I recently saw which was like a "whats what" of the hot "digger" records of the last ten years. I mean, dude had THE SHIT. Everything from lemuria to skull snaps to hank ballard to Saturday Night Special to 47 times its own weight and everything in between. A lot of the tags were still on, and they were mostly from The Sound Library and Dusty Groove. Apparently, this guy had been buying up every known raer, building a kind of "marquee" collection, and then got married, either lost interest or needed money, and sold the shit. Sold it at a tremendous loss.
Which is to say, if you're just investing, there are a lot better ways to make money.

I really hope you're young, man

So you bought all of these LP's then?
No it was in the possession of a dealer/colleague. I did buy a few things.

I've just never heard anyone diss Otis Redding before. That's like dissing Black Sabbath.
Wait a minute!
