Whats the most you paid?

Stl114 - The alternate stereo mix of WSOP was a limited edition single, one side cut at 33.3 and the other at 45 rpm. The record itself has a Regal Zonophone label on it. Tim DeParavicini is the head of EAR electronics. He is noted for his modified studio tape recorders and tube microphones and such.

I purchased the single from Acoustic Sounds a few years ago, maybe 2007. I don't remember the price, but I don't think it was too much. As far as I can see, it's gone. I can't imagine finding a used copy, as I don't see why anyone who liked the song enough to purchase it would now part with it.

BTW - I don't know if this is true, but I read somewhere that WSOP is STILL the most played song in British pubs. Pretty incredible for a 1967 song, although I still think the best rock music ever produced was from about 67-69. Joplin, Hendrix, Creedence, The Band, Sly, Zeppelin 1... The list goes on.

$77 for a VG++ Kind Of Blue 6-Eye on the 'Bay.
It was worth it for reference to the 4 track and 2 track prerecorded tapes and European vinyl issue that I also have along with the MiniDisc version and the 1997 new Sony legacy version and the 1992 gold disc in the tall sleeve.

I have over 20 of the Hot Stampers from Better Records with the most expensive being $450. Well worth the price in my opinion. Once you hear a great sounding record an average copy won't do. I do my own shootouts at home with 5-12 albums and while each individually is not that expensive, the total cost is usually well over $100 and it takes a lot of time for cleaning and listening.

I don't buy records for an investment, only for listening.

Up to $200 on rare blue note or prestige, but I also lucked out on a rather unplayed Beatles Yesterday and Today 2nd state for $1 at a local estate sale.

Most I ever paid was ~$30 for Classic Records and DCC pressings in the 90s.

Best deal would have to be $1.49 for Szigeti Bach Sonatas and Partitas set in a very nice original pressing just last year.

A clean Riverside 10" of Blind Lemon Jefferson's Penitentiary Blues for $1 wasn't a bad deal either.
