Snake oil salesmen don't follow the creed good product at a fair profit = good business.
It sort of makes it even all the more fun finding buried treasure Quite a bit of my collection did not just come from first pressings, they were obtained on the first day of release direct from the manufacturer.
I remember getting Goat's Head Soup and paying wholesale for the whole box of 25 (that was $1.85 Each) and going from house to house like Johnny Appleseed. Turning on my friends the first day it came out, listening to a side in each house, before leaving and going to another house minus one record plus one happy stones fan. When ever there was an extra ticket for a show who do you think they called?
When I got my new cartridge earlier this month I just popped open a copy that I still had left from those days. One of 2 still sealed, posters, original heavy vinyl, sleeve and all. It sounds great, my rig now is better then what we all had back then, but somehow upstairs in the 8X10 attic room at Murry's through all the blue haze it sounded even better.
Those posters went up in my sons room just like they were made for him.
Merry Christmas
