The Man Behind The Tan
Surprised their 2 albums haven’t been reissued. Last week Omnivore were selling copies of the blue Bellybutton for $250.
I missed out on them when they were originally reissued, but I picked up Spilt Milk randomly on Amazon back in 2017. Not sure why Amazon had a random copy 5 years after it was reissued, but by then it was considered OOP.
I did notice that the 180 gram black vinyl is going for more than the colored variant reissues...which is somewhat surprising.
I have an original promo Bellybutton, but wouldn't mind seeing a reprint of these reissues. I think Golden and RTI did a great job with Spilt Milk.

Pretty much the same as before.

They need to reissue that Frightened Rabbit again.

If you gotta place worth keeping an eye on for counterfeits... PM me?
I got mine through Discogs. They block most "unofficial" releases...but some still sneak through.
This one sounds fine, but they seem to be fairly expensive for fake copies.

yep. I avoid them if I can...there's a few others I bought as I knew a real release wasn't going to happen in a while.
I was fooled by some "Japanese" Brian Eno reissues a few years back as they were priced right....now I make sure things are legit and only get bootlegs when I know they are

I’ll buy certain live boots or studio counterfeits, but I generally avoid them unless the price is low enough and it’s not officially available/affordable.
Like the first QOTSA, or Flower Travellin’ Band, perhaps an odd Peel Session, but I always prefer an official issue.
The thing is, buying used LPs doesn’t pay the band or their estate.
I’m mostly bothered by fakes passing themselves as legit offerings. Uneducated buyers are easily fooled.

Mine has stayed the same for quite a while. Surprised that Mellon Collie has skyrocketed considering I got it on Amazon about a year ago. And the Gillian Welch boxset is still available through the Acony website so I'm not sure why that one is going for so much on Discogs.

I just discovered that my Violator Singles Box set wasn’t ever added to my collection….

Still no idea why that one is so much. I mean, I get it that Scott died, but this one was $18 at the store and $125 on Discogs within months. It sounds good, but this one is on Fat Cat, so you’d think they would be jumping at the chance to take advantage of the popularity.
Now Pedestrian Verse is another story. That’s my grail. Frightened Rabbit is probably not even a blip on Atlantic’s radar, and not sure the band can afford to buy the rights. Hope something happens eventually.

Just discovered this thread. It’s interesting (to me) to see the diversity. Here’s my top 25 by median, although, in the last 12 months, I’ve sold ~5 that would be in the 2nd and 3rd rows.

I've just had a look at my discogs ordering my records according to the maximum prices paid. I was very surprised to see Lana Del Rey's "Born to die" in a blue edition limited to Germany go for 433€, Lorde 's "Melodrama" Deluxe in Blue to go for 432€ and the 3 LP set by Justice "Woman Worldwide" go for 303€.

This is a great idea, is there an option to only see the 7" releases in a collection or have you done this manually somehow?

Every time I see someone with the deluxe blue Melodrama, I punch myself in the face for selling it for $45

Can’t seem to sort by 7” as I haven’t made a separate folder, but this is also my most valuable single when I scroll through My collection sorted by median value
