Found an original first pressing of the Stooges debut with the missing logo on the label for a very good price at my local record store yesterday. HOLY MOLY!

For my collecting post for today, You’re never going to believe what I just got. I went to my local record store looking for some new stuff, and I ended up helping him out with some collections that he was getting in that day. After I did that, he told me he set something aside for me, since he sets aside stuff for regulars who might be interested. When he pulled it out, my jaw hit the floor; it was a original pressing of the first Stooges album. It wasn’t in the best of shape (like a visual G±low VG), but it still played very well on the turntable like a VG record, and the cover was at least VG+. The owner said that someone had recently come in with a stack of records with mostly boring stuff and he only pulled out a couple things, with this record being one of them. He ended up letting me have the record for only $40! Again, I will note that the record plays to a VG level, so its still very listenable. Overall, I am very happy to own this record, so now the only original Stooges record I’m missing is Funhouse.

Super interesting, I don’t know anything about collecting vinyl. I imagine 40 is a really good deal

thisbenzingring,

$40 is kinda the high end for a good oldie or a high quality new. Over $40 becomes something special. The OP got something very special for $40

Here’s the discogs page for it, average price is over $200
