when I click on that link all of the "recommended" albums beneath it are Peter Frampton LPs
I shoulda taken out a bank loan to buy stuff out of the Ajax catalog back in the day.

Seriously! I remember when I received their catalog that said the store was closing, then afterwards the catalogs stopped. I owe that guy so much though.

what should we list my wife's original copy of GBV's 'propeller' for?should we put a reserve? do it buy-it-now?
― one dis leads to another (ian), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 23:17 (twelve years ago) link
roll the dice. start it at ten bucks. live dangerously.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:14 (twelve years ago) link
i never have understood setting a reserve on records, it usually discourages me from bidding. i prefer the seller to start the record at either the base amount they want for it or starting cheap and letting people decide what they want.
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
i kind of agree on no reserve.
skot: don't want to start it low because, tbh, it's only "worth selling" if it's gonna help us significantly pay off our vet bills/other debts. so i don't want to list it at $10 and have it only sell for $200, even though that's a lot of money, ya know
― one dis leads to another (ian), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:30 (twelve years ago) link
tbh, i think we might just put it up buy it now for $1000 and see what happens lol.

there are gbv records that sell for money???
― JacobSanders, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 00:44 (twelve years ago) link
propeller was ltd to 500 copies with hand made covers... routinely sells in the 700-1000 range. sometimes more, sometimes less, but that's kinda the average i think.

it's not mine, it's helen's, but it's a mike rep drawn cover. like the one on that website but without the red.
― one dis leads to another (ian), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 03:22 (twelve years ago) link
man. I don't have anything with a Mike Rep drawn cover, but I *do* have an original of GBV's 'Sandbox'. On whatever label they released it on. I bought it direct from Scat ... after the either the 'Grand Hour' EP or the 'Vampire' LP came out, Scat started selling a bunch of GBV backstock early LPs through their mail order distro catalog. I loved the 'Grand Hour' thing so much that I punted on a copy of 'Sandbox.' Didn't buy the others because I was a broke youngin'. Later I got the 6lp box set, so ever since I've had two Sandboxes.

Saw The Strapping Fieldhands play at Cake Shop a year ago or something and I think me and my girlfriend were the only ones who showed up that weren't opening for them. Or at least it was practically that way.

"Hi I got the lp and the record itself have alot of spots on it, on both sides. Im gonna have it cleaned and see if they come out. "
i wonder abt stuff like this. people not using precise words so that i have NO IDEA what this guy means by 'spots.' iirc the record was NM. i think maybe he means dust particles??

think it might be a tough sell to start it so high but good luck man!! I shared your link on Facebook. I think before you mail it off I should come over and visit it. soak in the aura.
have you thought about trying to post it to a GBV fan forum or something? like is this thing still active? http://www.gbv.com/postal.html
or maybe the Matador msgboard

STUNNING MASTER TAPE SOUND ON SIDE ONE! And side two, at A+ to A++, is excellent in its own right. This is an incredible recording, a member of our Top 100, but it takes a copy like this to make it come to life.
I confess to not ever having taken this album seriously, dismissing it as a commercial collection of pop hits with as much depth as the L.A. river, but I was wrong wrong WRONG. This is a great album on the right LP, not the compressed piece of grainy cardboard pop we're used to. The typical pressing barely hints at the tremendous energy and top-quality musicianship that characterizes practically every track on this wonderful record.
