How much will one pay for records? Depends. Lately, I have been on the hunt for music that has more so been HAUNTING ME FOR YEARS! Stuff that was very influential on me from the late 80s/ early 90s/ "golden age": Scala, Helen Sharpe, Untouchables, Shades of Rhythm, J-dee...hmmm...stuff from artists that kind of fell by the wayside, but nonetheless...I was listening. SO, I'll shell out top dollar for stuff like this: $25 for a 12" or $75 for a cd. There was a very rare collaboration between D-may and C-craig on ebay. Never released, sounded interesting. 12" going for $75. So, I guess I am more so looking for rarities, collectables. Peace! yeah, as I've mentioned before, one of the local shops here has a fairly good relationship with Watts distribution Watts had a warehouse full of records and CDs that they had lost inventory on and they were tired of paying rent on the storage space so they sold the whole entire warehouse to the local shop here in Minneapolis The shop has been putting the records - brand new and most still sealed - out for sale for ridiculous prices $2 for 12" to maybe $11 for a double or triple vinyl. The big finds have been Claude Young's "Acid Wash Conflict" on 7th City - sealed for $3 Dan Bell's "Elevate Special Projects 1" - the original ltd to 500 release - for $2! the record was brand new never played Paul W. Teebrooke - OW002 and Nova 12" brand new for $3 each Sterac - Secret Life Remixes Pt.1 Most of the Tons of Tones 12" on Urban Sound of Amsterdam quite a number of early Detroit house/techno records (Happy Records, Santonio Echols, etc.) there's a been a few more but can't recall everything MEK >It's good when shops 'discover' a lost batch of original pressings which >sometimes happens - Piccadilly di this recently with the Mowax stuff - and I >checked with the label, they really were original.
