It's kind of hard to tell. First, it's sealed, so I don't know which version it is exactly. Second, sealed/mint copies listed up to $350, but not seeing that copies have sold that high. My guess is I might be able to get $100-$150?

Of course there are a couple copies on ebay between $200-$500 as well.

Well yeah people can ASK for whatever amount they want.

Ha, slow down- you have to add "1970" and sort by new to old, then pick the most recent sale(s) of copies that match yours.

Beatles collectors can be insane
No kidding. I'm shocked to find out that the most (potentially) valuable record I own is this 1978 reissue of the White Album on white vinyl.https://www.discogs.com/The-Beatles-The-Beatles/release/2024459
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 3 April 2020 01:30 (four years ago) link
to be fair:
"New lacquers were cut for this release."
and from the comments:
"The sound quality on this particular pressing is the very best you'll find, and in my estimation, better than the original UK stereo (I have both). It has a luminous quality that is really compelling."
so it's kind of like that reissue pressing of Bowie's Hunky Dory, where the stars all aligned properly w/r/t sound quality, I hate to sound like a Hot Stamper huckster but sometimes certain pressings really do shine

I've never heard of that White Album on white vinyl. Ha!
― Why, I would make a fantastic Nero! (PBKR), Friday, 3 April 2020 02:03 (four years ago) link
The weird thing is that I didn't know it was on white vinyl until after I bought it. Music Mart (RIP) in Costa Mesa just reshrinkwrapped a promo version and put it out on the floor.

I've never cared to do any discogs edit but I came across a version of a Swirlies 7" that isn't there... I feel like I could figure out creating the entry but I'm a little intimidated by it. Everything is relatively clear expect the part about how to add a version of a release rather than a standalone. Anyone have experience with this?

I suggest a Discogs forum for this question.

I sympathise. I was all ready to add the new Cowboy Junkies album but I got stuck on which format to use, since it's only available on streaming services, not as a CD or a download. A quick look at the discogs forum confirms that albums only released on streaming services are not eligible for inclusion, since it's not possible to "own" them. Which leaves the Cowboy Junkies discography on discogs sadly incomplete.
― the grateful dead can dance (anagram), Tuesday, 21 April 2020 19:11 (four years ago) link
you should just make bootleg CD-R versions of all the streaming-only stuff and then list them as placeholders until the band has the good sense to actually release their records, at which point some future nerd can merge those releases with yours
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 21 April 2020 19:15 (four years ago) link
it’s not incomplete if they didn’t release it. streaming only is dumb.
― brimstead, Tuesday, 21 April 2020 19:21 (four years ago) link
some future nerd will probably not enjoy having to delete some random homemade CD-R from the database

so bands as “big” as the cowboy junkies are just streaming albums now, not releasing them? that’s totally awesome.
― brimstead, Wednesday, 22 April 2020 04:01 (four years ago) link
fine call it “releasing”, whatever

https://discogs.page.link/1a9Q <- does that work? Not really complete as I put all my collection into CLZ collector before I realised Discogs would be much better, and couldn’t face having to do it all again. Will get round to it at some point but for now this is mainly new purchases and a few of the bigger box sets and stuff.

Hey Ant1973 how's that Blue Notebook reissue? I really liked that album a lot when it came out. Should revisit.
― Evan, Monday, 27 April 2020 14:25 (four years ago) link
I loved the Blue Notebooks when i came out, but I feel like it's been so completely subsumed into tv/movie soundtracks that there's no need to re-listen to it now... it's just kinda ambient in the culture at this point.
― enochroot, Monday, 27 April 2020 14:35 (four years ago) link
Yeah I have a general aversion to music that specifically sounds like a doctor drama theme. That being said, where has Blue Notebooks shown up?
― Evan, Monday, 27 April 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link
I don't use Discogs to log my collection, so here's my seller profile, sorted from priciest downwards.
The most valuable record I own is the UK 7-inch promo of Martha Reeves - No One There, which I don't plan to sell unless I'm in dire financial need.

sheesh, that's tough. I think Denki Groove's VOXXX may be it, that's a legitimately hard to find record from a group with basically zero presence in this country
from a personal standpoint maybe Datarock's Red? I saw them in 2009 and got right up front & the lead singer pulled me on up on stage for a couple tunes. bought the record and they all signed it. later got to party & smoke with them in some nightclub. unfortunately it doesn't play too well because my kids love it and have gotten fingerprints and scratches all over it

Hmm feeling a bit lonely as a music fan I think.
It's nice to feel like my passions are 100% due to my own explorations and not due to getting swept up in popular trends, but on the other hand I find chances to geek out with people over this stuff really hard to come by.
Obsessions:- 80s-90s indie "pop perfection" (Sarah / Drive-in / Slumberland / Flying Nun)- 90s American style indie rock (post-Sonic Youth / "bedroom" / shoegaze)- Experimental / Ambient Balearic - American Primitive
I've got to work really hard to gush about the little known Pam Berry side project 7" over here and the versatility of the Minecraft soundtracks as arguably legitimate ambient music outside gaming nerd context over there...
