[bosshoss]

It's about time I put out a priced want list, as I used to in the olden days. This is not very well researched, but it does contain most of my biggest wants from the USA. Prices indicate vg+ or better, but lesser grades would still be very welcome on most of these.

How can you be serious, if you can't come up with at least one from this list? :p

[Frantic]

What...No SONS OF SOUND (Ikon)?:p No known copies.

 

[Frantic]

Denise & Co...Red label version?

 

[Ned]

Probably the least legendary of those listed, but that Em-Tees is a top record - good luck
Nothing shabby about that Sands 45 either !

Does this mean you have my avatar or just don't want it?

 

[The Swyne]

I'm basically repeating myself here, cause I already stated this on another thread, but "The Edge Of Time" by The Raevins is great! I love that spelling, too!

How's the cover of "Around And Around", is it decent (those fortunate enough to hear it?). I'm not asking for a sound file, just a review.

 

[eargasm!]

I'm surprised the Journey Back 45 has eluded you so long, Mark. I had no idea how difficult it was to find. You would think there's gotta be an Alice Cooper collector who would be able to point you in the direction of The Spiders 45. I've personally never seen one.

It's stereophonic, so it can't be in my top 20

It's been on eBay a couple of times, but I bid too low. I was thinking around $400, but I was wrong.

At least I know Neal Smith the drummer for ACooper has a Spiders copy, found out while I was trying to find out any info on my copy of Laser Beats "Rampage"... this coming from him... "These were released just locally in Phoenix, doubt very much if anyone would find copies. (referring to laser beats)I have them in 45 RPM, also have the first record Alice ever did! MASCOT label by The Spiders “WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME” the flip side is “HITCH HIKE”.”

I doubt he will part with it.
No copies have ever been sold on ebay or lists!? I know the reissue was taken from master tapes, right?

by the way this list is MIND b-o-g-g-l-i-n-g!!!

 

[bosshoss]

What...No SONS OF SOUND (Ikon)?:p No known copies.

[gregk25]

I have # 796.

congrats, but an interesting side-aspect in this thread could be: do you sell it?

 

[vinyl01]

I've been known to do that from time to time.

 

[reyes]

Gee tees just sold on the bay for a cool 232 bucks.

 

[MopTopMike]

A well-known record hawker had a copy of Color Us Cool disc at the Allentown 45rpm Record show today - asking price $1,500 in VG+ condition.

Maybe he reads G45central Need2OwnIt...

With all the changes they keep making, I've become an eBay illiterate.

Would his initials happen to be G.S.?

 

[MopTopMike]

Some call him (G.S.) "Cro-Magnun Man". I think he bought it from a Binghamton, NY dealer for $500 (initials J.S.)
