TOP $$$ DOLLAR

The most I ever spent was $150 for a nice copy of He 6 Vol. 2 last summer in korea. Before that, the most I had ever spent for one record was $34.

No regrets.
 
mario castro neves & samba sa is easily one of the most expensive brazilian jazz LPs around but its also one of the tightest ive ever heard, the sambeco lp is deeper and i only heard of it because of sabadabada and loronix so thanks!
 
Droped 170 on Francis the Great- Ravissante baby/look at the sky 12". I'm a sucker for weird kids singing.

200 on a nice old screen printed Mellow sounds and systems- dub specialist because it was clean as hell and I knew I'd never see it again. Would drop similar loot on the other early dub specialist lp's in good shape, the covers are so nice and the dubs are just perfectly understated and cool.

Like others say, always easier with paypal credit but no regrets.
 
it sucks how you make make yourself stick to a limit but year by year that limit creeps upward.
Ha, truth.

I've been "lucky" insofar a lot of what I'm looking for these days tends to max out around $100 but the problem is that there's a lot of albums I want at that price, including stuff that I really don't feel like should be selling for more than $30-40 (certain cumbia albums, for example).

I guess I should just try to make a trip to Colombia and stock up for cheap (minus the travel costs, of course).
 
$800 San Francisco TKO's "Acid Lady" (M-)...no regrets..someone will probably say I could have gotten it for less, but no one came off this record except for a friend of mine!
Damn!

just spent $100 on a clean copy of The Escorts "Disco Party" 12" on April...i traded for it so it cost me much less...killer deep disco tune, very hard to find. why not?
 
Most I ever spent was ??80 on the Singing Principal 45 Women's liberation on Action. Though that was during the Brainfreeze phase

for some reason though I would never spend that much on an LP, not too sure why though!
 
That is my blog. I am Martin.
Aha! I hope you don't mind me linking then

so any background info on the lp? I read off your site it was a private press, how did you come across it?

Haha...That was my offer, by the way...just grateful it was accepted. That one is Holy Grail status for me, and I remember all of us discussing what the value might be. I honestly thought I would have to go to Australia or New Zealand to get it, so I still feel as if I saved alot of money. I do still want to go on vacation there some day, though.

Now all I need to do is find Project Ebony and the California Playboys LP.

I'm struck at how hard that Project Ebony is to find - I first learned about it back in 2000 or so and I knew a few cats that combed Vallejo looking for copies.

And that TKOs joint is rugged. Was that on Golden State as well?

For me, I have a jones for the "Herm/Ooh Baby Baby" 7" but I doubt I'd ball out for it more than my current $300 limit.
