Talking about collections.... I´m in the process of trying to sell my collection of Laser Discs. Anyone remember those, LPs pretending to be DVDs. I don´t want to think about the money I spend on buying those 25 years ago – And what litte I will get back now, if any...

 

 

They could be worth a bundle Andre

I had a bit of a search on the media and thought of how eBay actually started by one person not wanting or needing an item/object and another wanted that very thing 

 

Me thinks that the same rules apply to Laser Discs (more for collectors)

Thanks Paul! Unfortunately Laser Discs were something of a niche-product in Europe and especially in Germany. There seem to be a few collectors now, but they won´t dish out the kind of money collectors do in the US or maybe Down-Under. Wish I was still in Japan, things are very different there...

Nothing stopping you from posting an advert on Japan or USA ebay

Maybe I should, at least the better ones, like Criterions Robo Cop & Akira or my Star Wars Box for example.

@AndreG. I was kinda partial to that laser disc value of "My Dinner With Andre."     I'll save you the time.   It was 150$.  

 

BTW, @JohnJ is air mobile on his quest to find a place.  He'll be in when we least expect it I'm sure.

My first Mono, easy swap on the Technics. Now I can play the new batch that just came in, plus.

 

[Dave1291]

@KROCK   Welllll, there ya go!  Coolness factor for sure.  Mono w/a sweet cart HAS to sound better than what it used to sound like.  Have to let us know how it's soundin when you get into it a bit.

This artist passed away last week 

If you want to know more about him then search out the documentary 

Searching for Sugar Man 

 

RIP - Sixto Rodrigues

Album - Cold Fact

As it happens, I saw that very LP in the vinyl section at London Drugs today.  That's the drugstore that sells Sony and Dual turntables and has a small demo room featuring mostly Klipsch Reference Series speakers.  Hopefully, Sixto's children will see a fair share of the profits earned by his record sales.

 

Also, I second the recommendation for Searching For Sugar Man.  It's the very interesting story about how a fan wondered what had happened to Sixto Rodriguez and followed every clue he could find, in order to learn what had happened to the performer who was a superstar in South Africa, but never learned about it and seemed to have disappeared.  It's a heartwarming story.

@Full RangeDidn't you just get another deck? Maybe set that arm up with an Mono cart.

Do you have many Mono LPs?

I just remembered, you just swapped out the you front end. 🙄

I had to count the mono LPs in the collection 

New and very old releases are a total of 37

Do yourself a favour and buy that LP

Hi,

 

I complete my collection of Miles: So I bought two superb albums this month! I believe that I only have 4 or 5 studio albums left to obtain from Miles Ahead (they are already in my basket: hihihi...) and I will have "almost" all of Miles

 

For this first album, I already have the pieces of the disc on CD box sets, but not the disc itself, neither on CD nor on vinyl.

 

For the music: it's a Miles classic, Post-Bop Quintet period "Hancock, Shorter, Carter, Williams", the disc was released in 1967.

 

My copy is a superb reissue of MOV-Columbia in a limited and numbered edition, I have the 0254, it is a splendid green: I love it (the photo does not pay homage to it). The pressing is very successful, for me it is silent and the music is very beautiful
