What are some singers/bands that you have everything or as close to everything as you can by? Name no more than ten. Here is mine
Elvis Presley James Brown Otis Redding Hank Williams Sr. Led Zeppelin Jimi Hendrix Robert Johnson Rolling Stones Johnny Cash Iron Maiden
Many more, but I have to follow my own rules.
I used to own Dark Side of the Moon Limited Edition Pink Vinyl - can't believe I sold it. I sold it about 20 years ago for around $250 - I think its worth about $1200 now
Wow!! I have some Elvis records but don’t think they are worth much. Also Jim Croce and Carpenters. Found at a yard sale
The value of vinyl records can vary greatly. I got out of Vinyl Records before they became popular again so only have a couple left now. A gold Vinyl print of Spandau Ballet's Gold and a few singles. But I still check out all the records at our local Garage Sales (that's what we call Yard Sales) and Op Shops. Picked up some for my father in law last week - some prefect condition Mario Lanza albums from the 50's - not a single scratch. I did also own Michael Jackson's Bad on Picture Disc Vinyl - but I think I only got about $100 for that. The problem nowadays with second hand sales is so many people now know what to look for so finding those hidden bargains and gems is getting very hard. I thought I had a pretty wide music knowledge but I'd never heard of Jim Croce before - any songs you recommend to listen to?
Cool!! I used to have a bunch of Michael Jackson and Jackson 5/Jacksons albums. Yea my collector expertise is in comic books and baseball/football/hockey cards. Anything else I’d have to look it up. Jim Croce was a 70s singer who died in a plane crash. Biggest hit was probably Bad Bad Leroy Brown. My favorite of his is Operator. Another great one is I’ll Have to say I Love You in a Song
Oh I know Bad bad Leroy Brown (baddest cat in the whole damn town?) ,so I have heard him. I know a lot of 70's songs when I hear them but for the life of me I couldn't name most of the artists. But I grew up in the 70's with a Dad who played music everywhere in the car - the bands I can recall from then though are Skyhooks, Captain and Tenille, Sweet, The Who. ELO. My mum wasn't a great influence as all she ever played was Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond. Do you know the Australian Band Cold Chisel?
We'll have to do another thread about Card Collecting - I have about 10 almost complete sets.
I mean... if you put that $250 in the market, it's probably worth about 1200 now...
Us old dudes have been getting 8% for ages. It's all going to crash one day, and it's not going to be pretty.
