BUT, 7000 copies were pressed. and it doesnt have that much wants, and also, it has a pretty low have-to-want ratio. how is it possible then that its so rare, and people pay so much for it? is there perhaps 1 more release whic his the ultimate one? or was the 900GBP pure coincidence of 2 crazy (tto rich) people bidding against each other?
i dont see the fuss ... |
90% of the ones being sold are the repress-
Discogs is not an exhaustive list- nor does it rally give accurate prices. Ebay is generally your most reliable source for current selling prices- barring the ocassional freak price (like that £900 one!).
My copy cost £95 uk, a couple of years before the repress was on sale for £3.99, hence I know its genuine.
prices have dropped since the repress (and for all the other prodigy originals I have annoyingly) and nothing would surprise me less than to hear HTFR had sold another shoddy bootleg or a repress as a rare original. |

it can still be found once in a while for a decent price. it's a solid release though. worth buying for Zero alone . |

All of those are very highly sought-after house records from the 80s and very early 90s. Most will sell for big $$$ because so many people have wanted them for so long, same as the Joe R. Lewis records you mentioned earlier. I never brought them up as they aren't much like trance at all. If you'd looking for very wanted records though, check out:
Clarence G - Hyperspace Sound Lab
- http://www.discogs.com/release/249283
That is one of the most-wanted electronic records ever, and reportedly sold for $5000 USD when it was on eBay a few years ago. It was just up again within the last two weeks and had reached $1000 USD when the seller removed it, apparently b/c of a large offer outside eBay.
Along the house record lines, I recently picked up this record:
Auto Bahn - Do You Like This Beat [Fierce Records]
- http://www.discogs.com/release/178357

The description of the 'what evil lurks' vinyl from HTFR.com indicates its the 91 original. Which may be the case given that this vinyl goes for comparably low prices on discogs. But I wouldn't trust HTFR, I've had too many damaged vinyls and MP3 presses passed off as white labels from them.
Edit: - the vinyl pictured is XLT 17 containing the tracks 'What evil lurks', 'Android', 'We gonna rock' and 'everybody in the place'. |
