Also, is an 80s LP of Booby's "Total Eclipse" worth around 15€ or so?

up - anyone?

I think I paid $15 for a 1st stereo Liberty, but that was a few years ago. Not a bad date.

I'd say no.

Thanks for chiming in - seems too steep for me as well, but as I'm no expert in these things, I wanted to check.

Yeah, my listening was a little schizoid last night. After Kate Bush I put on Graham Collier!

Sorry Clifford - I shouldn't be knocking ol' Kate B. I hear she has a Linn/Naim audio setup :D

Would that be the Pathe Marconi French DMM pressing? I have one of those - bought it when it came out for about £3, it's OK. The Liberty original is better (and like an idiot I gave away my copy.) Alternatively, the Blue Label 70s pressing is an OK option, better than the DMM.

Looking for musical comfort after walking out of a school where I taught for 25 years for the last time today:

Jimmy Smith - Open House (BN Liberty - but the first issue of this 1960 session)

Next up:

Jazz at the Philharmonic: The Challenges (Verve) The 1954 edition, with Dizzy, Roy, and Ben Webster.

This is a really strange & unsettled evening - and sorry to interject personal stuff into this thread.

Sorry to hear that Jeff. I guess some of us in the big-O community were aware of your situation, and there's nothing wrong with bringing up personal pain / frustration in a thread related to vinyl spins. If I had a dime for every post that brought up something related to an ex-girlfriend, I (or somebody here) would be quite rich.

Now spinning: The Fuckin' Flyin' A-heads 7-inch (basement lo-fi weirdness)

A bunch of Texas soul/blues 45s by the great Johnny Copeland:

Down on Bending Knees/Just One More Time (Golden Eagle)

Tryin' to Reach My Goal/If Love Is Your Friend (Atlantic)

Hear What I Said/Please Let Me Know (Allboy)

You're Gonna Reap Just What You Sow/Wake Up, Little Susie (Wand)

Ain't Nobody's Business/Year Round Blues (Bragg)

If You're Looking For a Fool (Wet Soul promo)

Every Dog's Got His Day/Wizard of Art (Kent)

There's a Blessing/May the Best Man Win (Golden Eagle)

Just what I needed....

I hear you ! A couple of colleagues I've worked with for years and years took (early) retirement over the past few months. One minute they are there, the next they are totally off the face of the planet. Unsettling, for sure.

The plastic stuff definitely helps with regard to relaxation and getting perspective in these times.

I didn't even look closely enough to remember - but quite likely Pathe Marconi (the Blue Note Town Hall vinyl set I bought is that pressing, same store, same collection, I guess).

Feel for you, Jeff. It shows how invested you were in your work. My wife retired (voluntarily) last June after 36 years of teaching & she still misses it sometimes. It's a great thing to love the work you do, but what you're going through is the down side of that.

I know that things will get better over time.
