OMG!!! That's killer pricing in these modern times, a sure ripper win!! :clapping:

Reminds me of an incident when I used to live in Chennai, I saw a Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down LP on ebay.in, pegged at Rs.500/-. I had decided to buy it but in the mean time, I got the opportunity to visit Moore Market to buy some footwear and ended finding a shop with LPs stacked. Was lucky to find the same LP there and ended up buying it for Rs.50/- (which was the price he asked for, and I did not bargain). This was in 2007. Over my 2 year stay there I was able to some more LPs for 50 bucks each, including MJ's BAD CBS-India pressing.

Dear Reuben,

In that same lot, I was lucky to get hold of some EXX condition Lionel Richie/ Frank Sinatra/Lata Mangeshkar Live at Albert Hall/Zubin Mehta/Doris Day/Disco Dancer/Kraftwerk/Dr.Hook and the most wanted Pink Floyd Meddle (bootleg).

This pricing also includes your wish list, The Burning Train..

But the most disappointing thing is, I couldn't spot any Ben-Hur

Hauled 180 LPs from Calcutta yesterday.

When do I get to see these?! Be careful with me around the Doris Day LP though. I have resisted becoming a kleptomaniac since birth but one never knows

 

[hildebrand]

I have got some records that made me go yahoo :yahoo:

First, I got set of Elvis Presley LPs from shafic.

And today I got another much wanted set of records.

One of my colleagues was in the US for past few months and on my request got some records I bought on ebay in US there.

I have been looking everywhere for a Patsy Cline LP as I am a big fan of hers but it was nowhere to be found here. I got one LP of hers for 6.1$

The second is another gratifying acquisition. Its a Reader's Digest collector's edition titled The Unforgettable Jim Reeves comprising of six LPs which I was able to get on ebay for 10.62$

Strangely, the Patsy LP cover had a back cover advertising a Reader's Digest collector's edition with 100 symphonies which they took out in 1986!

I wish more of my friends would do this great service for me :lol:
God bless my colleague and those who do such nice things in the future

So far I could get hold of 3 Doris Day LPs and one 10 Inch..

I think you were asking me to find Usha Uthup..I found one, with the cover in extremely bad condition, through the vinyls is quite playable.. I was told , Usha Uthup (Nairobi concert Live recording)vinyls seems to be a highly sought after ones, in Calcutta market.

Ben-Hur (

Thanks a ton Simon, I will try and source Ben Hur from abroad.

Thou Art lucky!!

Just curious .. Your dad is an ATM (or) that ever gifting Santa Claus

In our times of late teen , whenever i asked my dad to buy an LP he would respond back in a flash laced with his signature frown "Get me a report card with 1st rank, I would buy you 10" .

Alas those Jesuits never certified me as No.1 !!
