That Escalated Quickly (aka Common Records Turned Rare)

SST doesn’t really let stuff go OOP for long right? It’ll get another pressing soon I’m sure. I definitely got that exact pressing for like $20 maybe 8 years ago or so?
I doubt they do. Seems to me they just get more made and re-up them to their site. They haven’t had a new pressing since 1989?
 
Randomly dropping some 7” into my ‘Cogs today and was really surprised to see this pop up at $150 when I dropped it in:
 
I have the white urban exclusive, and I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point it becomes the most expensive record in my collection.
and the cheapest US copy of that one is $425. The really silly thing is if someone REALLY wants that album, it’s also in her box set which I still see for around $200. I grabbed the white UO pressing in a random restock online and it was $35 or something. Now I’m afraid to spin it because of how expensive it’s gotten haha

I found mine just randomly sitting at my local Urban more than a year after it had sold out. I’m assuming they just had lost track of it in their back of house.

I spin mine pretty regularly. I genuinely think the album is phenomenal and would feel guilty if I didn’t.

Yea--I love the album too and should just spin it more. Needed Me is a jam.
 
Y'all. This is a good album and all, but....

My wife loves this album. We almost pulled the trigger at that asking price. I think at $125 she wouldn't have even hesitated.
So this is actually an album I have, but as part of the box set. It's insane that the single album costs median £146.00 (£217.22 cheapest currently available) but the box set goes for £216.81 (£243.33).

Edit: They are decent pressings though, some killer tunes in there.

Edit 2: Worth mentioning that I managed to get the box set for £90 inc postage in 2016

Yea--I think you can still get deals on the box set (not as cheap as that but...) it's crazy that people would pay $400+ for the single album!
 
I've always remembered this being available EVERYWHERE. Ltd. to 30k is really stretching the definition of limited



Damn. Literally slept on that and forgot about it. Always thought it would be a cool concept to have but could never justify a second copy. I'm not surprised that it's gone tbh.
