A Bit Of A Jazz Rarity?

No Connection, etc.

Howard Riley Trio

Is it really that rare? The bidder appears to be genuine, despite the earlier retraction.

It's in the RCRRPG at £1k+. Don't know anything about it other than that. Will be interesting to see what it closes at.

Wow. Like lots of UK free improv of the 60s, it probably had a very short pressing run. As well as Riley it has Barry Guy on it, who often plays with Evan Parker, and is one of the great bassists, which in itself makes it worth hearing. Don't think I'd ever spend that much on a record though.

Ooof! Finished at £1,046.80

Result for the seller, providing that it didn't cost them anywhere near.

That is just amazing to pay that much for an LP albeit rare. Anybody reckon that CD's will fetch that much some day?

 

[rod]

Hard to say. Although I have seen some regularly sell in the region of £150 - £250.

 

[soundlistening]

Are there any books or publications on the market value of records?

Yikes! Some people have more money than others... I was chuffed to bits selling a 7" single for a 10th of that the other week!

Hi sc, what was it? I'd be happy for £100 for a 7" anyday (sell, not buy!).

 

[space cadet]

It was the debut single by Oceansize, no'd 300 copies on blue vinyl which went for £105!! The best thing is that I had no idea it was worth anything like that. If someone had offered me a fiver for it I would have snapped their hand off!

Cool!
