Doing some editing on discogs I see that the Chocolate Watchband ‎"Sweet Young Thing" 45 exists in versions that have a remastered A-side. Some of these (including a white label promo) have "RE" printed at the end of the matrix number on the A-side labels and also "Re" in the runout etching. But...

So who's going? Word is people have already shown up to the motel, but the Europeans are out given the travel ban, and since the UK just got added to the list, that leaves out another whole set of buyers. As of right now the actual show is still on for Saturday, but I feel like a lot can change...

eBay better than discogs, where I do occasionally sell a 78, but they'll mostly sit. For packing, this is the standard method: http://www.claxtonola.com/shipping78s/ And condition is more important to value than you'll see with vinyl records. Something that's $500 in E+ might be $50 in V, if...

I was pretty happy with buying/selling on Weds/Thurs. Most of my purchases were $50 and under, excluding an expensive punk record (an upgrade for me, sold my downgraded copy a few days later for more) and an overseas picture sleeve from the Belgian dealer (Marcel?) who is crazy expensive on most...

I've had one of these sitting in my sale boxes forever marked at $200 (a number I just made up at the time.) I think I'll mark it down to $125 right now. Frankly this is one for the completists.

I'll be selling in the parking lot of the motel on Weds/Thurs (well, I'm 100% sure about Thurs, and probably 85% sure I'll do Weds as well). Unfortunately I don't have any very exciting garage 45 sale stock at this moment, maybe one longbox, and topping out at mostly $50. My soul boxes tend to...

Saw these at Double Decker in Allentown yesterday, I'd say no more than 15-20 left. All or most of this load had hairline/internal cracking, but it's hard to discern on many of them. $30 on discogs, maybe a little cheaper if you're in person at the shop and ask for one (they're not on public...

I'm sure someone else on the board attended more days and is more tied into that scene to be able to answer this. I saw a number of $500-$1,000+ discs, but none of my personal garage grails.

3+ years after I started this thread I finally made it to the motel yesterday. I get the sense that when the motel became a Red Roof Inn it got a facelift? The rooms didn't seem as dumpy nor bed buggy as I was lead to believe. Since I don't collect soul, and I've gotten pretty good at acquiring...

Discogs shows a completed sale in April at $1,000.

Thanks for the info on the Autumn labels. I guess we'll just agree to disagree on discogs vs 45cat. I'm completely not bothered by people listing things at high prices -- they are easy enough to ignore, and make my fair prices look even better. I see plenty of it on eBay and in real life as...

Thanks Mike - I suspected you'd know the deal. I 100% agree but none of the discogs listings above have reversed labels. Just in some cases the times are reversed: Laugh Laugh says 2:30 and Still in Love With You Baby says 2:45. Out of curiosity, how are you sure it's not a promo? I've seen...

My mono LP plays 2:48, maybe another couple seconds for the fadeout to truly hit zero. According to discogs, Sundazed CD reissue says 2:54 (?)

Most versions on youtube are just over 3:00. Now I'm really confused. 2:48 is most definitely the time most often printed on the releases including the LP. I'll have to dig out my LP and time it.

I recently got another white label promo of the Beau Brummels "Laugh Laugh" and adding it to discogs sent me down a rabbit hole where I discovered one of my copies plays a long verson. The song is usually 2:48 and most pressings say this, with some listing it as 2:45. This seems to be the...
