Yeah gotta love those james brown 45s... ive got a few myself but the condition isn't great. Funky president is hissy and i've got a locked groove in soul power :(
Great though! Other faves in my collection are bongo rock (love it) and the revolution will not be televised. And i've got a copy of percussion explosion coming in soon...

not sure of the worth outside of the state, but in state my favorite hawaiian record can be found for a few bucks.

the hype on popsike discogs and ebay is crazy, but understandable.

no sure on some of the hip hop stuff i got's, a few 500 ltd pressed lp's from subversiv, a dials (memphix) 7" which seems to be going for quite a bit now a days , that joey beats ltd 60 copies munny king 7" .

I aint too sure. I got a few limited pressing type things (Psychomania ,Zombi (not the OST)and some hip hop stuff) but I've never checked how valuable they are.

Some are worth more to me than others, I wouldn't trade or sell my Psychomania LP or Poets of Rhythm 45 for all the tea in China

well i used to have an og copy of the beatles rubber soul ablum, that was autographed by all of them but john lennon. i had it appraised and it was worth about 2600 bucks. the guy was offering to buy it off me right htere, but i waqs like hell no i am gonna hold on to it. my uncle gave it to me before he died. than someone broke into my house and got me for that and countless other things. i cried so much. but **** it you know. you live you learn. i should have had that shit in a picture frame sealed and all hung up somewhere. or hidden. but i'm an idiot. now the most expensive record i have is like 35 bucks.

word i can feel you on that , we did a record show and someone stole our butcher album,and it was pretty clean porbably wprth 1500, but you live and you learn.

i don't leave my house for that reason of being ripped off , i had that sh!t happen as a kid and i don't want it to happen again as long as i can help it.

theaft and fire are my worst fear.

I found a Frank Sinatra record "Watertown" i think its a pre press with the tracks hand written on it plus like a proof letter or something dated Feb 13th 1969 Warner Bros London. I have no idea how much its worth plus I think its being played once or twice.
