Winning bidder is in Japan. Seller is Reckless Records. $1,300 is a lot of bread.

4 digits for a record!

5 digits for a wristwatch!

6 digits for an automobile!

7 digits for a residence!

They should be shot!

No one should pay x amount for y product!

There ought to be a law!

Seriously people... sour grapes much!?

Is it all a bit absurd... of course!

But don't get *so* damn rankled, jeez.

6 digits for a satellite

if this was a copy of "the futurist" it's really not worth that much. it's probably worth less than your average shellac record.

[muffkin taskells]

I must admit that I get a kick out of the idea that Shellac has become popular among the robber-baron set. I will now go home, and ensure that nobody's pinched my cherished copy, to which I listen surprisingly often.

A record shop in London who also have a mail order service have been selling a bootleg of "Friends of Shellac" for a while now. Although they call it a 'limited edition repress of 500 copies'. Fucking twats they are as well. Whenever i have been in or dealt with them on the phone/via email, i can safely say a good 85% percent of their staff are dick holes. Plus as a company they are always selling bootleg shit and trying to pass it off as something legitimate. I and all my comrades actively boycott these fucksters now.

I picked up a copy in Sister Ray in Soho. Was cheap though.

Sister Ray is the first place I thought of when I read Surfrider's description! Haven't been there in years though. Didn't they get bought by Selectadisc?

What's really funny is, Steve has boxes of that record still.

The last two Shellac Live in Japan CDs that I've seen sold have each gone for $500.

People out there want the -real- thing, and not a bootleg. I've got a real one. Anyone wanna give me $500 for it? I'm thinking maybe I should sell it, since I don't really need it, and since I never listen to it.

[Colonel Panic]

I saw that "Friends" LP about 2 years ago in a certain record store for like $35.

For what it's worth, we did find out it was not stolen (like Kim's).

That petdance.com site lists all the Friends of Shellac who got a record, but I don't see the name Chris Hall on there. Must be an oversight, right?

[Marsupialized]

I knew someone that had two with no names circled on them, I guess they had been given one and their girlfriend had been given one.
He had broken up with the g/f by that time and she never took it, he offered to let me have it when he saw how excited I was to see and hear it (this was right when it came out) but I refused till he called them and asked them if it would be ok, which he never did.
It just felt wrong to take it, even though it probably wasn't since the girl just left it and didn't want it and the dude did have two.
I dubbed it on cassette, though.

I think it's time you rent some Albert Brooks movies or something, because the whole dry and witty thing you're always going for just isn't working, no matter how many times you change your user name.

Oh, and I'm not "friends" with Shellac, so nope, no oversight.

I was never really interested in owning a copy of The Futurist LP, since I had all of the individual tracks from it about a year and a half before the LP was even pressed. There's no trumpet overdub on my version, and no shortwave radio noises connecting the tracks together, but other than that, it's the same thing.

Not to mention... that shit was played out by the time it was pressed, homie.

Whoever bought it will likely never spin it.

You're right, I know. I can always hope.

[Johnny 13]

My wife and I each have a copy, but the sleeves were destroyed in the flood. We would never sell anyway.

Stop by anytime I'm home and we'll set you up.

[Redline]

I still play mine all the time. It's my 3rd fave Shellac lp.

Maybe I should record it on to a cd, just in case.
