wolff Posted August 22, 2005 Report Posted August 22, 2005 Just received E-mail from Acoustic Sounds.... We have just purchased a 10,000-LP collection from a music business celebrity who wishes to remain anonymous. This is without question the most first-edition, rare records we have ever seen in one collection. Most are promotional copies without bar codes - many White Label - and most have never been played. These records never left the music biz. The collector received them as promos, and he never broke up the collection. Some of these records are cutouts, but not the kind of overstock cutout you're used to. Rather, one way that record companies marked their records as promos was by cutting the corner of the jacket. Many of the records that have cut corners in this collection also are stamped "promotional" or are white label. These aren't overstocks! If you're serious about getting promos of your favorite artists, let us know, and we'll save the time of typing them. Otherwise, we'll be announcing this inventory bit by bit. Click here for our first list including first-edition Mono jazz titles. Call 800-716-3553 if you like 'em RARE. Link to the priced, mono jazz titles. If these are mint or close to it, some of the prices are real good, and I doubt they'll be around for more than a day or two. Quote

Spent a few hours assembling a long one and got back an email saying they didn't have any! Not one! Quote

Not one! ← Maybe this one is still available: John Denver & The Muppets A Christmas Together RCA Records - AFL1-3451 Quote

I figured since they wanted 50 bucks for it and listed it as New Jazz label it was an original. NOT!!! forget these jokers. unless you like paying thru the nose for everything. Quote

Only Acoustic Sounds would have the cahones to charge $15 bucks for records you couldn't give away at a yard sale. They're now charging betwen $30-$50 for Rolling Stones SACD's that just went OOP, when they are still readily available for $16 (or less) most places. Quote
