I know. I really want that one also. I've seen it for $300 on ebay.

CD






CASSETTE




VINYL





*I share custody of this album with a friend of mine. She gets it on weekends and holidays

*a bunch of 45s here*

*Rare LPs*

Well?

Some of the rarer stuff I have in my collection include,

Smoke - Risin'

An obscure sweet soul group from Kansas City, Missouri. They released one album in 1976. Probably worth somewhere around 200$


Eddie Hazel - Game Dames And Guitar Thangs

Eddie's solo debut, got it for around 10$, worth a whole lot more


The Gap Band - The Gap Band (Tattoo)

The Gap Bands self-titled release on the Tattoo label (not to be confused with their self-titled Mercury album). I've only seen one copy of this album ever in my life (... and I, of course, immediately bought it )

The Natural Four - Best Of (CD)

Rare and out of print CD compilation featuring the Natural Four. Good luck trying to find this one

Rick James - Bustin' Out Of L Seven (CD)

Rare and out of print CD pressing of Rick's second album. Asking prices on Ebay and Amazon are from 90$ upwards.

The Eight Minutes - An American Family

Rare r&b album released in the early seventies. Mine is in near mint condition

Mutiny - Mutiny On The Mamaship (CD)

Rare and out of print Japanese pressing of this great funk album. Amazon has one copy on sale at the moment, the asking price is 328.10$




What rare stuff do you have in your music collection?

NICE, bro!

I also have an original copy of RAMP's album. The owner of one of the record stores I regularly visit played (and tried to sell me) 'Paris Soul Food', but even though it sounded pretty cool, I know I wouldn't spin it regularly, since I'm more into sweet soul. Buuut anyways

The Magnum album is pretty darn rare. I've got it on CD, it's a really cool album

Oh, and ...

Those that I posted are good examples of records rare and good. The Salt 45 (it's actually a white band, hence the name) is probably one of the rarest Funk 45s ever. Only about 20 copies are known. The last one went on Ebay for about $4,000, a buddy of mine had to sell it cause he needed cash ...

But nothing beats a Kamasutra tape!

I just checked on ebay and almost all of 2pac's singles are going between $20 and $80. I didn't know he was that valuable.
