What was the most expensive record that you ever bought ?
Not how much you paid, though we could post this too.
My most expensive record is Japanese pro first pressing of Bitches Brew by Miles Davis. It sounds better than any other pressing, though I don't have US test pressing, which might sound better still. I paid, I think, $170 for it including shipping from Japan.
@noromance - That's a pretty good price, I also lost my log book and was searching for it at record shows and it was always $100 and up. Always missing from the album when I found them for sale. Same for Cheech and Chong Big Bamboo with the giant rolling paper, always mia. In Search of Space and Hall of the Mountain Grill my 2 favorite Hawkwind albums. |
@richmon I was reading your post from 2009 when you first dipped toes in the vinyl pool. Great to hear you're fully vested now! I've all the original Hawkwind albums up to 1982. Hard to pick a favorite. |
$125 for my holy grail of a rare 180 gram LP of Tower of Power’s 1970 East Bay Grease. Sparkling in the Sand was the cut on the album that’s beyond perfection. I couldn’t tell you what the other songs are because I’ve never listened to them. So yeah, $125 for a 9 minute song. Hey, when it’s good it’s good. |
Individual records I might’ve paid as much as $100 for a London FFR or a Mercury Living sound. I bought the whole inventory of a record store in 1996 for $300. Something like 10,000 Records I started working in a record store at the age of 11 until I was 27 during that time all my records were free. |
