What’s The Cheapest LP You’ve Bought That You Love ?

Third World War’s first LP, brand new for fifteen shillings from the record stall in Hemel Hempstead market, in the days when albums were over £2. A speculative buy, because I’d not heard it, or even heard of the band, but I love it.

 

UK mono of We're Only In It For The Money. £3.

 

The La Bamba soundtrack. $1 for great renditions and wonderful sound quality

 

You may have bought it from me. Though $2 seems a little low if the album was in good shape.

 

Braham's First Symphony conducted by Herbert von Karajan, mint condition, $1.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel, near mint, $4.

 

Prokofieff - Peter & The Wolf , Boris Karloff as narrator .
50c in Salvation Army earlier this year , probably played
once a year max since 1965 when released .

 

I buy lots of records for .69 to $1.50 from thrifts, yard sales etc. So in better condition than others. There were 5 or 6 1960s Buck Owens and the Buckaroos that I paid .75 each that I really like. I'm not a big jazz fan but I really like the Thelonious Monk, Straight, No Chaser album I got for about $1.00 a couple of months ago.

 

It was from a store in the city and had only a few light surface lines.
No inner but Goats Head photo was there.
Wish i had bought the US Born Under A Bad Sign Lp for $35 while in was there when the yacht's were all racing about.

 

The Kinks - Face To Face : 33 cents.

 

Sick.

 

I have a number of albums that I've picked up for 50 cents that I love but the one that comes to mind right away is:

 

Bob James - Lucky Seven 45 cents

 

My store was in the city when the yacht craze was full swing. Are we talking Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign. You could have bought that new for well less than $35 in 1986.

 

Is Mitch and Noel on this one?

 

Iam talking original, new does not do it for me. Check the used prices now! What was your store called?

 

A mono Magical Mystery Tour for 50 cents.

 

Found an unsealed copy of Nilsson's Pandemonium Shadow Show with a huge "39 " in black marker on the back,at Philly's old Radio 437. And yes,it was 39 cents. I suspect an instore play copy since the shrink was missing,but it came home in 1970,around the same time(maybe same day,it was a big record buying spree,playing hooky from college) I found a promo stamped copy of Aeriel Ballet for maybe two bucks,my usual price that would trigger a purchase,but at least I already had heard "Everybody's Talkin' ".

 

This one for a dime at Kroger in the early '70s.

 

I was very happy to find a used vinyl copy of Second Coming for around $30 in Tokyo not long ago.

 

I found an excellent original copy of Badfinger Straight Up album in a box of records stashed under the racks, along with a bunch of crappy albums at a local record store. Unbelievably it was marked .10 on the tag. I kid you not, ten cents! At the time I didn't really know the album, but remember being curious about it in the past, and of course for that price, say no more, right? Imagine my surprise when I played this album and discover how amazing it is! It's one of my all time faves now, and what a fun way to discover it.

 

Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries



for

 

I always thought new was original. The US version of that album could have been bought at that time for well less than $35.

I am well past looking at the price of used vinyl

The store was Playback Records

 

Yeah i bought stuff there in 86' were you there in 02'?
Bad sign original 1967.
These days maybe $100 usd if lucky so yeah a used at $40 or less fine then as i don't/didn't want to feel Sun-dazed you dig?

 

I was there 1984 - 1990. I think it had closed down by 2002 (I suspect 1995).

I'm not fussed with original pressings etc. I'm in it for music & I'm not a collector. I prefer CD's anyhow.
