How much?

[LDJB]

Thought I'd kick off this week's edition:

'cor!

Worth a tenner?

[wayne]

Well, it's pricey, but I'm more intigued by the music on this one - I've never heard of it, it looks interesting, and my question is: has anyone got/heard this, and is it any cop?

That does look interesting, though I don't think I have that much spare cash lieing around.

Uh, wasn't thinking of bidding, by the way...I mean, it's still 'reserve not met', too, and it's already the price of a 'Moody'. Good lord, no...

More just read the description, noted the claim for the presence of pretty much a full set of personal and wondered if there might be a reish or something knocking about...

And I just LOVE the way the description ends with '...and why not try our ther auctions - perhaps you could save the postage!'. Perhaps you could sell the wife and kidneys, more like...

talking of re-issues in a possibly similar vein, picked up a (Scorpio?) reissue of The Orient Express s/t on Mainstream, and it's great! meant to post about it on the Eastern Mysticism thread.

haven't heard it though...

It's an exotic folk thing from Norway, for me personally it's not that good. A bit too easy. Although it's treasured in some circles, I know Victor Kiswell favours it high ..

This ebay copy is the second press. The original first pressing is on Fontana and came out a year before. And if I remember correctly is priced £300 in the record collectors guide.

If this goes for high loot (currently is ) I'm sure to be sticking up one of these very soon.
And hopefully get a chance to take that long awaited flight to Tokyo and back.



Shameless plug again

how is saft teddy ?

[teddy rosso]

I haven't heard any of their releases, I believe it's a standard rock outfit. Although I have an album produced by Terje Rypdal,
with the some of the SAFT musicians involved, and it's a theater version of Hair, entitled in Norwegian "haar" It's pretty forgettable
except the one min jam session cut at the end of the record.

You better sit down before you click on this one:

Cheers for the info - will have to do a bit of searching around to see if that reish can be verified as decent quality, but music sounds like it'd up my street...

Curious, too, that Teddy R's comment that the Fontana is the 1st press renders the description of the copy on ebay wrong -very insistent it's a 'Philips 1st press' there.

Buyer beware, I guess.

Especially as it's now way over 'Moody' price and still 'reserve not met'.  WTF kind of reserve is on this thing? Can it be THAT rare if we've got a Vulture toting doubles...??

[rolex baxter]

I wasn't aware that this record was worth so much  

any vultures heard of it - I got mine of an older psych head collector guy for about 3 quid

I guess the seller is not aware of this, if people are spending that much money on a record they should be confident in buying the item the description tells ..

Just mailed the guy selling it ..
