The Moguls - how rare?

[Phil Istine]

'another day' was 397 on the original list g45 - but popsike is showing zero results for it.

one of those mega rarities that will zoom up the list when it's redone? how many of you own it?

 

[bosshoss]

It's probably well placed at 397. Meaning it's rare and great, but does show up regularly, maybe once every 2 years.
I would be surprised if less than 8 people on this board owned a copy. Guessing MTM, shakesomeaction, myself, buckeye, rich, stanco, ...hmm that's 6 and there must be at least 2 others. Mr. Splendid? Mr. Segment?

I've had two copies of this record (one was new unplayed when I got it, of course it's still in my collection) and an original Graves acetate (which I also still have). I've seen a couple more in private collections. I'm pretty sure this was on eBay and sold in the $400-$500 area, which I would think is a fair price. Popsike shows only one of the Moguls 45s on Panorama on eBay and I know that's been on there a few times.

fair enough buckeye, thanks. i always knew popsike wasn't 100% reliable but from the conversations on this board I'm starting to feel i can't trust it to be even a vaguely accurate representation of availability/value!

Yep , count me in

I had 2 mint copies, one went to Alec the other I sold on Ebay years ago for around $500...I think.

New guy here. This was a local band (Eugene, Or.) that I saw several times when I was a kid. When they put that record out I'm sure I would have bought it then, if I had ever seen one. Always kept an eye out for one and finally in the early 80's found not one, but three M- copies at a local flea market. A quarter each. Those are the only copies I have ever run across, even though I'm at Mogul ground zero and hit up garage sales and thrift stores fairly hard back in the day.

I had a copy that I sold in June 2000, to help pay for my trip to Las Vegas Grind. I only got around $300 for it, but that was more than a decade ago.

I have a Moguls promotional flyer around here somewhere.

 

[MopTopMike]

Believe it or not, I don't have a copy of any Moguls 45s (there are three).
I was "shut out" of the Tork single (the one or two dealers who had hi-grade condition extras for sale thought I already had a copy and never bothered to tell me about it), and I had a VG copy of the "Ski Bum" single on two occasions long ago, but dealt them away in trades because they played with annoying groove distortion to varying degrees. Thus, I still wait for a higher grade copy to come forth...and wait...and wait...

 

[Rich Strauss]

Somehow I missed this thread. But, Bosshoss is spot on. I have mint copies of the Tork & Panarama 45s which I got back in the 70's. I think that I paid $15 for the Tork 45. I also have the instrumental 45 on Century from 65. It's VG+.

 

[vinyl01]

you can count me out.

Me too unfortunately. But give me 5 more years and I'm IN!:)
