    • The crazy money for "Cool Struttin'" has been the result of some sort of fetish for that album in Japan. Is it the music or the cover? Who knows. As for Jackie's playing back then... it was an acquired taste. I can understand the allure as well as the disdain. I'm kinda in the middle myself.
    • Interesting read and not really surprising, although there was a NM ' True Blue' for sale in London recently for only (!!) £3k, obviously a bargain... Collectors the world over treasure originals, be that stamps, art, cars, furniture, comics and beyond and I see absolutely no reason why LPs should be any different. And yes, with LPs this moves beyond the music per se and becomes about the artefact. There is a caché in owning something as close to its original state and I can't see that being a bad thing. Maybe not what we as individuals would choose to do, or could afford but that doesn't negate other's desire to do so. Where there's a collector market then prices will almost inevitably inflate. No one is forcing anyone to pay these prices and if collectors get their hands on something precious to them, then all power to them, I say.
    • I wish I got to see him more often. His shows were fun as hell. He always brought high energy to the stand. You never worried about being bored when he was at the piano. RIP Eddie and thanks for the music.
