How rare is this record?

mattmacneil · 12.01.2009, 06:28 PM

Hey
I just bought a 12" 'Death Valley '69" single at a local record store. It's the pink one, with the picture of them in a car on the back. It has all original inserts, including a lone page of lyrics. It's in decent condition.
I bought it for 8$, anyone know how rare this is?

thanks.

alright, but how rare is it? just wondering if i've stumbled upon a gem or what.

I would not have a clue.

$8 is definitely a nice deal for that release, but i'm not sure it's particularly 'rare'. i saw it a few months ago in a seattle record shop that was overpriced on ANYTHING remotely 'rare' and they wanted $30 for it (or was it $50? i dunno, either way it was too much).

I had one a while back. I think I paid about $10 for it. Seems average.

I paid $15 for an original copy on my trip to la in 1994.

You can pick this up at any Starbucks.

$8 is a good deal on any sonic youth 12" single from the 80's.

Check the value of it in the "Rare Record Price Guide 2010".

watch this auction and you'll get an idea, there is one currently on buy it now for $35 so i'd guess it goes for less than that in auctions

It's not listed, which means they consider it worth less than £8. That sounds about right to me.

I bought it for 200 rubles (~$7) from my local vinyl store back in 2008... totally NM copy. unfortunately - without insert.
