Lp's Which Are The Holy Grails

[nrc]

Knowing the price of which some  singles go for today, i was wondering which LP's are the rarest and hard to find in the Soul genre and what kind of prices are we talking about.today.

 

Cheers Nige.

There are loads, but a couple off the top of my head are

Dynamic Five - Love is the key which has some big Sweet Soul stuff

Turner Brothers - Act 1

Probably over a grand each, maybe more

Good previous topic about this:

Move on, nothing to see. The ass has fallen out of the LP market, they are dropping in price rapidly and soon none will reach 3 figures, I could probably take some of the rarer ones off your hands for cut down prices as a favour......

Here's an item I sold in September of 2011..  £2180 !!!   

 

Only a Vg/Vg+ copy too - with very bad water damage to the sleeve !!

Really ? Maybe for the same old 5 or 6 LPs (Hesitations Metros Tempests etc ) that always get mentioned on here.

 

The reality is in fact quite the opposite .  

 

Could name you hundreds of LPs from the 6Ts / 7Ts / 8Ts that always go well into 4 figures and are going upwards with time , not down.  Thing is,   LPs  have appeal not only to rare soul collectors but also funk collectors.

 

Moses Dillard & the Tex Town Display, Brief Encounter, Rhythm Machine , Mighty Ryeders  , Freddie Terrell ....  on and on and on  ....

Happy to see that it's not just us Germans lacking sense of humour

Topics on NCS seems to nudge 4 figures [ US $$ ] quite easily ?

I think on football forums full of younger posters they would say whoosh to this.

My toungue was so firmly in my cheek it was boring a hole!

However my offer to pick off some of the rare items at bargain prices was genuine.
