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

Can you possibly show us a shot of the full disc ? ty

 

$5 - Elvis Presley-Devil In Disguise Original 45 and pic sleeve (Japan Import)

 

Last one I need, too. Do you have the '63 VJs?

Don't have this one, but got a Canadian pressing with two other Ritchie 45s for $8 or something. It just may have to suffice!

 

$50.00
Ronettes "Walking In The Rain" NM light Blue label promo 45 w/ NM Picture Sleeve combo.
Don't think the promo came with the picture sleeve originally, but it's a very nice set.

 

u didn't say how much you paid ? i was offered one of these for 1500 GBP - part of me wishes i'd bought it....

 

£10 for this in the early 80s.

 

Has it ever been played? I know actetate's don't last thru many playings

 

One time, when I first got it to test... about vg++ quite good really.

 

Indeed! This is probably my favorite 1-2 punch of female rockabilly. I also have the 78 and it sounds amazing.

 

Probably somewhere in the $50 range? I've been really lucky as a soul collector in that my three-to-four-digit, big-ticket records were crate finds I bought for pennies, but sometimes you have to pay the big-ticket price. I've so far stayed away from the really big-money records, but I'm at the point where I'm going to have to start if I want to complete some of my label collections.

 

About 0.75 cents. Stopped buying them in the early 60's.

 

i once SOLD a mamie galore 45 on sack for $700+ listed on ebay as northern soul rarity ---within an hour it was over $300 and hit the $700 mark at the end of the auction a week later---i really had no idea---that was at least a dozen years back---as far as how much i have paid, about $80 for a super rare doug sahm single

 

LOVE ~ "Keep On Shining" / "The Everlasting First"
Blue Thumb Records U.S. 7" 45 PROMO Stereo




While I concentrate on Beatles/Dylan/ King Crimson collectibles, this is one of my favorite 45's.
The suburb LOVE single featuring the great Jimi Hendrix playing on The Everlasting First, with
Keep On Shining .. arranged by Arthur Lee w Jimi. Incredible NM primo piece, paid $100.

 

Bob Dylan ~ "Bringing It All Back Home"
Columbia U.S. 7 "Juke Box 33" (45 sized) .. four songs from the great album, Stereo.
Special coin operator release.

 

Robert Fripp ~ "Silent Night.. a la Frippertronics"
E.G. U.S. 7" square flexi-disc, one-sided, (33rpm).

 

Too cool! The Peanuts/Peanut Sisters had some good singles, like Sucu Sucu which is a well remembered hit in Japan.

 

The Beatles ~ "She Loves You"
U.S. Capitol 7" 45 original acetate .. one-sided disc.


The acetate dates from the 1960's, however this example was never issued in the U.S. by Capitol as a single in the States until the later in 1990's as a colored vinyl single.

 

There are a lot of bootleg Beatles acetates and demos around. I know enough that I wouldn't know what I was doing.

One of my favorite bargains was two Bill Haley & His Comets 45s on Decca in super nice shape with the original mid-'50s stock sleeves and department store music section price stickers. They sound great. Oddly I had an EP with the same four songs, a later pressing, and that sounded not so good.

 

$30. Cactus - Long Tall Sally w/picture sleeve from France. When I received it, I discovered that one side was colored in by hand with a marker. At least one side is suitable for framing...

 

If we're counting 78s as well, I paid a disgusting amount for that replica Elvis acetate from RSD 2015 -- Somewhere around four times its already-excessive retail price.

That aside, somewhere around $15 for this 7" split EP featuring diametric musical opposites Tiny Tim and GG Allin:

Very cool, I'm jealous.

 

$150 about 30 years ago for one of these:



It's now worth about $500-600, so it was money well spent! (Not that I would I regret the purchase even if it had lost value over the years. Sometimes you just have to grab an opportunity when it presents itself!)

 

Mighty Baby's "Devil's Whisper/Virgin Spring" for nine dollars. The B side was trashed but my maximum bid was 25 bucks ( I was livin' large back then).

 

That's one attention-grabbing title. Everyone should hear this one.

 

30 GBP each for some of the very early U2 Irish singles (Another Day, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, A Day Without Me, and I Will Follow). As they were unavailable in any format by the late 80s, had some rare tracks and I was an obsessive, I had to have them. Thankfully, I kept these as I made my way down here! Many fans here are super-jealous I have them!

 

Absolutely correct-
Rule of thumb... figure up to 80% are FAKE on eBay.
ONLY buy from the most well known, respected sellers.
There's tons of worthless crap up right now... but one very rare authentic one also.
Caveat emptor!! ... always.
