It's on Fenton

Good one Mike! But as I get older, I've come to the realization that the only 45 that
I really "need" to own was patented by the late great John Browning back in 1911.
Everything else is just super-cool record archive fodder...LOL
 
This seems pretty crazy. Sounds like a $250 record and noisy!

This is no bargain either. Mr. Togy (RIP) gave me one and I used to see it for less than $100.

What? Buying it for the Zero Boys angle? I found Terry Howe/Hollywood's yearbook on line.

While some records are going nuts, others are relatively cheap. The Aardvarks is one of the rarest Fenton records, but not impossible.

I'd say there are more nutty folks buying garage 45s than ever before.
 
It's only money. And maybe easy to get if the above buyers happen to be smart at playing the stock market. Easier than finding the 45s at a thrift store! However I find it hard to get my head around the vg Highlifes. It's nice and everything, but...

on the other hand, it seems to be very rare (it's the only copy ever sold on eBay) and if you like that sound (I do!), then why not?

I totally agree with you on the money part, however how happy are you with a less than m- copy. I quit buying records in less than m- or vg++ condition as I knew that my autistic side wouldn't let me enjoy the music as I would somehow only listen to the pops and crackles.

Maybe yes and no. If the record is known to exist in quantity, then waiting for a m- copy is reasonable. But who knows if a m- Highlifes even exists? In many cases you have to settle for a vg, if only 2 or 3 copies are known. It can be a gamble, if you pay a lot of money for the best known copy which is vg, then a few mint copies turn up, your vg copy suddenly loses a lot of its resale value. Solution : never sell it. :smyle:
