Beatles Pressing of the ‘White Album’ Sells For $35,000

One of the holy grails of record collecting, the Beatles first pressing ‘White Album’ with lowest-possible number A0000001 (Apple 101, 1968) has been sold at Heritage Auctions. Most thought a copy of this magnitude would belong to one of the Beatles. The opening bid was set at $10,000. 

Well, the auction ended and the price was more than I guessed, the rare White Album sold for an astounding $35,000.00!!

The Beatles White Album Poll shows that 47% of CVR blog readers got it correct (that it would sell for more than $30,000), so congrats to those who were right on target.!

Canada’s Apollo Music recently shared a look into the vinyl record hoarder house, a collection of more than 250,000 records which the company purchased last year. “When we first go there we couldn’t even get through the doorways!” they remarked. “It took us 6 months to pack and remove all the records from the house!”

Ozric Tentacles - Strangeitude (double vinyl preorder)

A fan favourite and one of the most highly regarded and consistently strong albums from the Ozric's prolific and illustrious career.

This heavyweight yellow vinyl version comes with a bonus 12" single including a Youth remix of the UK Indie No.1 single, Sploosh!. Both discs are packaged in a gatefold sleeve.

One of the most influential bands to emerge from the UK's festival scene, the Ozrics layer ambient and ethereal landscapes with freeform dub trips, incredible rave grooves and psychedelic progressive rock in an open exploration of music and the spirit.

For over 25 years, the Ozrics have experienced the ups and downs of a rock and roll life lived to the full. The band has flourished through a number of line-up changes, spawned several side projects, created their own record label, put out close to 25 albums, scored a hit record and sold over a million albums world-wide. Throughout this, the basic motivation behind the band's existence has never wavered.

The Ozrics signature blend of hippy aesthetics and raver electronics with spiraling guitars, textured waves of keyboard and midi samplers, and supergroovy bass and drum rhythms continues to evolve and delight fans across the world to this day.

Pre-order for 9th September release.

Ask Mr. Music by Jerry Osborne

FOR THE WEEK OF AUGUST 5, 2013

DEAR JERRY: My late father lived for many years in Lyon, France. When he came to the U.S., in the 1960s, he also brought his beloved classical record collection.

Now I have those records, but cannot find values anywhere for classical albums, much less ones from France.

In hopes you spot something significant, I'm sending a list. Some appear to have never been played. Can't wait to hear your thoughts.
—Raymond Doumergue, Towson, Md.

 

DEAR RAYMOND: It should brighten your day to learn that any pre-1970s classical albums in the condition you describe would likely be worth many times their original cost.

Prices realized at auction could run from $50 to over $10,000, depending on the specific condition of each, and other variables not stated on your list.

Having gotten your attention with that five-figure amount, let's talk about what seems to be the crown jewel of dad's collection.

If your boxed set titled "Mozart a' Paris (1973-1778)" is near-mint and complete, including all seven "Pathe Longue Dure Microsillons" (Pathe Long Playing Albums), numbered DTX-191 through DTX-197, it should fetch at least $10,000, with $15,000 being a high-end expectation.

Issued in 1956, this lavish collection was only available via a mail-order on a subscription basis. It was never sold in stores. Estimates indicate perhaps as few as 1,000 were made, approximately 50 of which were given to recording company executives and each person involved in the recording and production process.

"Mozart a' Paris" ("Mozart in Paris") is by the Orchestre de Chambre (chamber orchestra) under the direction of Fernand Oubradous.

Mozart's music is mostly performed here as violin concertos for flute and harp, sonatas for violin, harpsichord or piano, and by a string quartet.

What you have in that box is essentially an all-star assemblage of some of the most famous European soloists at the time, most on loan from the Conservatory of Paris.

Renowned participants include: Benedetti; Brun; Cellier; Charny; Ciampi; Darre; Del Vescovo; Descaves; Doyen; Dumont; Francois; Giraudeau; Hongne; Lancelot; Laskine; Lazare-Levy; Michel; Quatuor; Pascal; Perlemuter; Pierlot; Roux; Simon; Van Barentzen; and Veyron-Lacroix.

Felicitations mon ami!


DEAR JERRY: In a box of oldies I bought at a flea market in Schenectady I found a great record called "Kiss and Run" (Soft 826), by Bobby Skel. Until now, I had never heard of the song or the singer.

This one sounds like some of the records made by Gene Pitney and Roy Orbison in the 1960s.

When did it come out? How did it not become a hit?
—Bev Mateo, Pocatello, Idaho

DEAR BEV: Yes, Skel's record seemed to have everything it takes to be a smash, except perhaps an established label behind it. I am surprised that one of the majors didn't pick it up from Soft for national distribution.

Regardless, it was not a complete flop. "Kiss and Run" did achieve regional hit status here and there, including in the nation's No. 1 market, New York City.

In mid-November 1964, it jumped in at No. 40 on WMCA Radio's "Fabulous 57." It is even accompanied by a symbol indicating a hit record that WMCA proudly claims to have been the first station in New York to play.

Since you mention Gene Pitney and Roy Orbison, you may find it interesting to know both are on that same chart: No. 30 is "I'm Gonna Be Strong" (Pitney), and No. 17 "Pretty Woman" (Orbison).


IZ ZAT SO? "Kiss and Run" is not the only Bobby Skel record that did well in one or more markets, yet never appeared on the national Top 100.

Two other terrific tunes from the '60s, both worthy of chart slots on Billboard and Cash Box, are "Sheila Ann" (1968) and "Red Light Green Light" (1969).

Incidentally, on a couple of his earliest singles, "Goin' Back to School" (Fairlane 21008) and "Just Two People in the World" (King 5897), the credit reads Bobby Skelton, his full name.

Jerry Osborne answers as many questions as possible through this column.  Write Jerry at: Box 255, Port Townsend, WA 98368  E-mail: jpo@olympus.net   Visit his Web site: www.jerryosborne.com

All values quoted in this column are for near-mint condition.

Holly Golightly - Truly She Is None Other (Expanded Version) - CD/LP/Download

10 year anniversary re-issue of Holly's greatest album with 2 BONUS UNRELEASED tracks!

Collector's edition on RED vinyl and digipak CD

It's been out of stock for a while so we've decided to make this re-issue a little bit special. Often cited as perhaps her best solo album Truly She Is None Other was recorded in 2002/3 at Toe-Rag Studios by Liam Watson and features the song 'Tell Me Now So I Know' which was picked for the main title theme for Jim Jarmush's 'Broken Flowers' movie.

Among the nine Holly originals the album features two Ray Davies songs ('Time Will Tell' & 'Tell Me Now So I Know'), along with 'There's An End', (penned by her friend Craig Fox from The Greenhornes.) There's also a fine version of Jessie Mae Robinson's 'Black Night', a song most famously covered by Muddy Waters.

Backed by the cream of Toe-Rag's in house musicians, this is Holly Golightly at her finest.
With sleeve notes by none other than Jack White III.

King Crimson - Larks Tongues In Aspic (vinyl preorder)

Larks' Tongues In Aspic is the fifth in a series of audiophile King Crimson vinyl reissues.

Newly cut from masters approved by Robert Fripp, this super-heavyweight 200gm vinyl re-issue is housed in a reprint of the original sleeve and contains bonus MP3 codes giving access to a download of a transfer of an original 1973 pressing.

With its raw tone, inspired improvisations and hard hitting odd-metered rhythms, the album marked a radical departure for this most forward thinking of groups and was the first to include Bill Bruford and John Wetton as band members.

Pre-order for 23rd September release.

THE HUSSY 'Pagan Hiss' Available on Vinyl

Just a year after Weed Seizure was released, THE HUSSY returns with Pagan Hiss: 14 tracks of pungent and poignant psych-punk/trash-art that twists the limits of both punk and pop music. Over the 14 tracks, The Hussy seamlessly crafts a smart and catchy record that’s full of dark depth, torrid twists and sparkling surprises you’ll stumble upon after each repeated listen. As with Weed Seizure and Cement Tomb Mind Control, Pagan Hiss was recorded by BOBBY HUSSY at the band’s practice space in Madison, Wisconsin (with additional tracking done at Bobby Hussy’s home). Bobby Hussy’s engineering ensures the new record stays true to The Hussy’s vision of a crafted and produced recording that still has firm lo-fi roots. Guest appearances by JORDON DAVIS (of THE MYSTERY GIRLS fame) on organ, DEAD LUKE (Moon Glyph and Sacred Bones recording artist, ex-PINK REASON) on guitar and recorder and JUSTIN ATEN on violin help fill out the sound on a few of the tracks. Never a band to stagnate, the Hussy has already released TWO new 7" singles (their 6th and 7th respectively) and a brand new European Tour 10" EP alongside Pagan Hiss. Each of the four 2013 releases contain completely exclusive material!

The Hussy just returned home from a monthlong nine country European Tour and is embarking on a large scale two-part US Tour for the majority of the summer.

The Vinyl Revival - From The Frontline - Author Graham Jones on the indie shop’s return

Last Shop Standing

Last Shop Standing inspired by the book of the same name by Graham Jones takes you behind the counter to discover why nearly 2000 record shops have already disappeared across the UK. The film charts the rapid rise of record shops in the 1960's, 70's and 80's, the influence of the chart, the underhand deals, the demise of vinyl and rise of the CD as well as new technologies. Where did it all go wrong? Why were 3 shops a week closing? Will we be left with no record shops with the continuing rise of downloading? Hear from over 20 record shop owners and music industry leaders as well as musicians including Paul Weller, Johnny Marr, Norman Cook, Billy Bragg, Nerina Pallot, Richard Hawley and Clint Boon as they all tell us how the shops became and still are a part of their own musical education, a place to cherish and discover new bands and new music.

• Celebrating our Fondest Music with Friends and Family
• Promoting the Future of Vinyl
• Nationally Establish August 12th, the date Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, as Vinyl Record Day

here is an interview i did a couple of years ago with Gary

Celebrate Vinyl Record Day

 

When Thomas Edison invented the phonograph on August 12, 1877, little did he know just how much influence his “Talking Machine” would have, not only in the music industry, but in pop culture as well. Records are a part of the music of the ages and it is up to us as individuals and retailers, not only to enjoy our favorite recordings, but to preserve them as well; thus Vinyl Record Day was born.

Vinyl Record Day (www.VinylRecordDay.org) is celebrated on August 12th (or the first Saturday following the 12th) and was conceived and brought to the forefront by vinyl enthusiast and vinyl record historian Gary Freiberg. I spoke with Gary about the meaning of Vinyl Record Day and how we can help as individuals and what retailers can do to help preserve this timeless medium and international treasure.

“Vinyl Record Day is about celebrating vinyl records and the public should take notice of this special day. Invite friends and family over for a barbeque, maybe form a block party and play records, think records and talk about records and what they mean to each of us individually and culturally,” explained Gary.

Gary went into further detail, "Whatever the feel good aspects of Vinyl Record Day are, a retailer will ask how will this help my bottom line? Vinyl Record Day can get free publicity, it puts a good face on a business within their community and is a reason to have something special at the location: a parking lot sale, entertainment, store specials are great examples. I would hope the industry would become more involved with Vinyl Record Day so that, not only are the goals of Vinyl Record Day spread, but that people trying to make all or part of their living with vinyl could be part of an industry and not scattered individuals. We need to have a cohesive national impact as the milk industry did with their "Got Milk" campaign. I truly believe that Internet and traditional brick store owners could benefit financially, and in the case of brick store owners, in their communities by being part of Vinyl Record Day. Another important goal of Vinyl Record Day is to preserve the cultural influences, the recordings and the cover art. We also hope to increase awareness that economics prevents companies from transferring everything on to compact discs.”

A very dynamic and immensely important point Gary talked about is that only 5% of our musical history has been transferred to CD, so it is our responsibility to preserve this medium. Maybe your grandfather, sibling or cousin released a record and, although it may have not made the “top ten,” it is our music and some of these wonderful recordings cannot be found anywhere else. For instance, I own a vinyl copy of a Spiro Agnew speech and one of our most revered presidents John F. Kennedy has released several recordings, as have other influential and historical figures.

Additionally, Vinyl Record Day is a nonprofit organization that aims to educate the public and encourage all of us to preserve these international audio treasures. It is also a marketing opportunity for any vinyl record retailer.

“Vinyl Record Day is focused on educating the public, this timeless medium is in our hands, don’t leave the preservation of vinyl to fate. Vinyl records represent historical audio documents and just as we preserve historical literature, we are the custodians of this audio history. Vinyl Record Day is more than one day a year set aside for celebration, it is also for the industry itself,” acknowledged Gary."

We also discussed past celebrations, from the inaugural Vinyl Record Day in San Luis County, California and the international support and attention that Vinyl Record Day receives as well.

“Vinyl Record Day hopes to continue to educate the public on why and how to care for a record collection because these collections are not only a part of who we are individually, but to assure that future generations will not lose a vital link in recorded history,” related Gary.

“We recently got accepted and are under consideration by the USPS for a stamp series that may feature classic album cover art and the history of records. Now we are organizing public support for the stamp series. We encourage, no plead, for the public to do a snail mail letter letting the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee know you support the stamp series,” said Gary.

As an avid vinyl record collector, I truly enjoyed my conversation with Gary, who is very passionate about the cause. Vinyl Record Day is a nonprofit organization that needs the help of all of us, consumers, collectors, musicians, retailers as well as the record companies. So, as you celebrate Vinyl Record Day this August, think about the history, preservation of the format and enjoyment you receive when listening to your favorite records.

For more information and how you can help as an individual, please visit the website, www.VinylRecordDay.org and let Gary know that you endorse all of his efforts.

Stone Temple Pilots - Core

 

The debut album of Stone Temple Pilots (1992) built a heavy foundation for the subsequent career of this post-grunge Rock band. The hits "Creep" and "Plush" made heavy rotations on MTV, and pulled attention toward the album-making qualities of these San Diego based soon-to-be superstars.  Instead of purely focusing on grunge's Punk esthetic, Stone Temple Pilots excelled with coherent, quality songwriting. Guitarist Dean DeLeo's inventive and distinctive guitar playing made him a true guitar hero to many junior axe slingers of the day. Scott Weiland's adventurous personality (ultimately resulting in years of forced rehab programs) shows in his strong and melodic Rock growl.

Core ultimately reached third place on the Billboard 200, and "Plush" won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance. The original LP contained all 12 songs on 2 sides; for best audio we've decided to give Core a double LP treatment, the 4th side containing a beautiful etch of the album's cover art.

• 180 gram audiophile vinyl
• 6mm sleeve
• Etched D-side
• First pressing available as numbered edition of 2500 copies on transparent vinyl.  Also available on black.

 

 

Elvis Presley - Elvis At Stax

Riding high on the success of Aloha From Hawaii [MOVLP739], Elvis did something remarkable. He decided that his next recording project would be on his home turf – Memphis, TN. The most desirable studio in town was the red-hot STAX – the launching pad of such greats as Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave and Isaac Hayes.

Elvis assembled the very best musicians in town – members of Booker T. and The MGs, The Memphis Boys and his own TCB band to create the ultimate band and he searched for fresh new material that would reflect his new path. Such songs as "I Got A Feelin' In My Body" and "Loving Arms" demonstrate an artist looking to broaden his palette and his reach.

The Stax material has never been positioned as a whole body of work – but is an amazing chapter of Elvis' career. With the Elvis At Stax release, all of this material is collected for the first time. Along with some of the funky outtakes, it creates a fresh new package that, while it doesn't have the known hits, tells a great story.

 

 

Bread - Bread

Founded by David Gates and James Griffin, Bread was one of the most popular Pop groups of the early '70s.  The band proved on their eponymous debut album (1969) that they were excellent songwriters and craftsmen of their instruments (keys and guitar, respectively).

Although the album did not contain a hit single at the time of release ( "It Don't Matter To Me" later became a hit but only after their second album release On The Waters) it set the course for the group's fame and fortune. Ironic fact: the album's cover art would prove to be somewhat of an omen regarding the relationship of Gates & Griffin – they later split several times, citing 'artistic ownership' feuds. 180 gram audiophile vinyl

 

Mink Deville - Coup De Grace

Coup De Grace (1981) was the zenith of Mink DeVille's career. Working together with famed producer Jack Nitzsche proved to be a wise step: his influence on its sound made the album a timeless classic.

Nitzsche's CV includes work for Phil Spector (arranging hits for The Ronettes & The Crystals), recording and producing Tim Buckley, Marianne Faithfull, Neil Young, Buffalo Springfield and others. 

Willy DeVille's unique balladeering style is perfectly framed in a timeless Rock & Roll fashion, not unlike Springsteen but with a soulful twist. Combining Punk, Rock, New Wave, '50s R&B and Doo-Wop, Mink DeVille's unique sound has beautifully blossomed on Coup De Grace and will likely live on as their best album. 180 gram audiophile vinyl
