What's the most you've spent on a 45 single ?

So, we've recently had a similar thread on the most expensive LP's.
Let's have a look at your 45 singles here... post 'em if you can. (no obligation to list price paid)

 

I think I paid $25-30 apiece for a couple Genesis singles with picture sleeves (Entangled and Counting Out Time)...

 

About $1.99 sometime in the '80's.

 

I payed more than I wanted to for
this one. It was worth it.

 

$15

 

Maybe $20 for an elusive Beach Boys picture sleeve.

 

No more than $5. All were puchased in the 70s or 80s.

 

The most I spent would have been in the 60s - 6s 8d. (33p in today's money)

 

THE BEATLES - U.S. Capitol original 8" acetate.. "HELP!" b/w "I'm Down" 7/6/65

 

I spent a boat load of cash on Genesis singles in the 80's. I think the most I ever spent was around $400 for a Swedish Counting Out Time w/pic sleeve. Happy The Man UK and Italian cost me over $300 each. The UK Knife was around $250. Many, many $100 singles.

 

How much was that rare gem?

 

Bob Dylan - U.K. CBS 7" authentic acetate "Can I Please Crawl Out Your Window?" 1/14/1966
one-sided disc.

 

KING CRIMSON - U.S. Atlantic original 7" "In The Court Of The Crimson King" Promo single
two-sided disc w Long and Short versions 1969.



KING CRIMSON - U.S. Atlantic original 7" "In The Court Of The Crimson King" Commercial
Stock single, two-sided disc w Part 1 and Part 2 versions 1969.

 

99 cents plus tax

 

$50 (minimum bid) for the Alice Cooper mono Reflected/Living MANY years ago. The guy used to have these monstrous two page spreads in Goldmine in the smallest possible font.
A friend assured me that it was a steal. Needless to say, it's gone up a bit since then.

 

The first one that comes to mind is the Japanese 7" of Sparks' I Want To Hold Your Hand. I think I paid $35.

 

I bought a copy of Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer (Nordoff Robins Charity pressing) which is limited to 100 copies each in a unique sleeve. I think it cost around £60. Others that sold on the same day went for £200 as I recall.

 

Probably a buck and change back in the 80s. A reissue of Dion and the Belmonts' Tell Me Why if I remember correctly. I moved in '92 and donated all of my 45s, that were still in good condition, to the Juke Box of a local bar. After transferring them to cassettes, of course. I discarded those that were in bad shape.

 

$20, I think and I've only spent that much a few times. I have a collection of about 8000 45s.

 

$75 for a red label mono PPM by the Fabs first press.

 

Probably between $50 and $100. Sold a few for over a grand.

 

Cool pics, but something's missing. How much is the most?

 

I paid $50 for a top condition 7"er by '60s Vancouver group The Collectors, and $40 for a probably rarer one by Mother Tucker's Yellow Duck and something around that for a very nice Roman Records label single by The Paupers. Peanuts compared to what people will pay for some of the most obscure local '60s garage records.

Here's one now...

 

About $80 for Throbbing Gristle's "We Hate You" 7" on Sordide Sentimental, with the folder and inserts.
