mikeweil Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 If I had some first pressing and a collector would offer me 7.000 bucks I'd gladly sell it to him, spend half of the amount on a whole lot of other music and the other half on our next vacation.

Scott Dolan Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 I concur. I can't think of anything that precious to me outside of family items with sentimental value. But a product? No, absolutely not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dmitry Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) The defintion of fetishism On 1/24/2016 at 10:07 AM, Scott Dolan said: Only one who fetishizes such things would. And that was my point. You said the term wasn't applicable, but it most certainly is. Nope. This is not what the term fetishism means. This is fetishism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fetishism I recognize that you're trying to sew a psychopathological lining into the collectors purse, and I see where you're going with this, but I think the terminology you're using is off the mark.

clifford_thornton Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 FWIW, the $7,000 copy of Lee Morgan Indeed was not paid for and the item was relisted, ending at I believe a much lower price - I think around $2,500 (which is closer to the going rate for a clean first pressing).

Big Beat Steve Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Assuming it was not a Buy It Now price at $7,000 this makes me wonder how such a bidding race came all about anyway. There must have been at least TWO who pushed each other into that sky-high price region. What was the other one (or were there several?) thinking? Or was this a bogus bidder trying to push the other one up in an attempt at inflating the final price for the seller? Amazing no one seemed to feel like wanting to bid any amount between 2,500 and 7,000 the second time around and STILL end up with a price lower than the 7,000 that he missed out the auction the first time. (Yes I know such things happen but it is not the usual outcome) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother, if you truly don't see this: "Essentially, fetishism is the emic attribution of inherent value or powers to an object." ...as describing EXACTLY what I'm saying then you need to start revisiting your dictionary. 19 hours ago, Dmitry said: Edited January 26, 2016 by Scott Dolan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the winner didn't pay, why not use "second-chance" offer to the next three bidders? Edited January 30, 2016 by rdavenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted May 14, 2017 Report Share Posted May 14, 2017 Plano Half Price was waiting for me today! 10" LP! 50 cents! And then... This one, cut-corner, sealed, NOT warped! This one autographed on the inside by Ernie & Emilio both, as well as the mysterious inscription To Lynn, who madefive days a sweet lifetime.Too short, but memorable and fulfilling. Hopefully, re-incarnation exists! Love, Barry Caceres Here's a ginormous $4.99 WTF?!?!?!?!?! Alex's dad. A single LP in a 2-LP sleeve. The second sleeve contains promotional lietrature. Plus, a nice pile of $1 CRG (Children's Record Guild) 78s with really, really cosmiccrazy artwork, a few of which I had as a kid, but fuck, is it anywaonder we all dropped acid when the time came? Train To The Ranch not as good as Train To The Zoo, but good luck finding ANY fucking thing that is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKG2z3rWfQ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I browse the bins (that always are in total disorder) at the local record clearout sales twice a year I always am on the alert for stacks of 50s 10" LPs and pull them out first. I've come up with quite a few goodies (mostly classic jazz and 30s swing, very, very little modern jazz) form the 10" stacks but classical music 10" LPs, including "light classics", of course, usually are quite plentiful, and some would be worth the 1 EUR (that often is the going rate) just for the cover artwork but as I am not realy into classical music you just have to draw a limit somewhere so I skip them. Had no idea these are considered finds to some by now too ... BTW, the Caceres brothers LP is nice indeed. My copy came from one of those clearout sales too.

JSngry Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I saw the cover, Carl Nielsen, and a Danish orchestra, and was instantly hell yeah, this diem is already carped!! And it is a really beautiful performance too, that orchestra was in a zone for these pieces, an zone that more than easily cut through the superficial surface noise. For just 50 cents, yeah, that's a deal I make EVERY time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 But oh by the way, I was delighted to find that the remaining music from this series (or whatever) was collated onto a CD in 2010, and I course, that diem was also carped! https://www.amazon.com/Nielsen-Symphonies-Overture-Concerto-Maskarade/dp/B003LDKJMW Gotta say, though, that it's a considerable downgrade in terms of cover art...

Big Beat Steve Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Erik Tuxen? A big band leader with many aces up his sleeve, it seems, and in this capacity he was one of the pioneers of early Danish jazz ("hot dance") too. To bring things full circle, you might go looking for his early jazz sides too, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
six string Posted May 29, 2017 Report Share Posted May 29, 2017 A few weeks ago I found a copy of Herbie Hancock's The Piano, the Japanese direct to disc album. It's the first time I've ever seen it in a store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Don't know if any of these qualify as "great finds", but I went in to the flagship Half Price today determined only to buy things that would either delight or disappoint, nothing of the "I KNOW I'll like this!" type. No "more of the same", Ia already have more than enough of that. A promo copy, just like this one, only not as clean. A live quintet date with Teddy Edwards, this seems like it should be a "sure thing", but it's been around for 40+ years now and it's never rated as a "classic". Hell, it's never really talked about much at all. And even though it's got Teddy Edwards, it's got Monty Alexander on it, so not sure, delighted or disappointed, who knows? Louisville, Hovhaness, what's not to try? If not delighted, then disappointed. Can't see indifference as an option. Looked interesting. NO idea whatsoever. Cool Op-Art cover no matter what. Arrangers listed as Gil Askey, Bobby Tucker, and Melba Liston. Wait, does that say Melba Liston? Yes, it does. I have a blogged version of a Kim Weston album where Melba Liston contributed, and it didn't suck. so.... Love the piece, don't know the band at all, but the Supraphon label always is the tie-breaker. We'll see. Nearly flipped over it, but figures ehh, let's see, and Richard Davis is on every cut. There's also a photo of Vic Dickenson on the inside where he's doing a More Than Ready For Mainstream thing, wearing on of his headphones as an eye patch. Plus, Toots Mondello and Johnny Mince are in the section on the cuts where there is one. I figured I gotta hear this at least once, even if the arranger is Glen Osser. And finally, get ready to grab a towel, Aric... Kinda iffy on this one until I pulled it out to check the condition, and... Red vinyl motherfucker, RED VINYL!!!! I may never play it, not sure if I care that much. But as an object, hell, OG Drown Red Vinyl, one does not buy that for the music, right? Nothing was over $6.99, most all were $4.99, a few were $3.99. I had $20.00 worth of HP gift cards from father's day, so after tax, a little over $50.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjzee Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 I got that Milt Jackson/Ray Brown a few weeks ago from Dusty Groove, also on vinyl, $4.99 used. Now I have to find it's counterpart (recorded on the same night): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Good enough to pursue then? I would certainly think so, but when there's lists and lists and lists of Great Bags Records, these never come up? It'll turn up eventually. Most things do, especially if condition is not of uber-importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
