Copy of Chung King LP sells for $6000 on discogs


Recommended Posts

Imagine being a person who got it free from Rev in the 80's like this guy. He retells the story in the listing. Then he sells it for $1,300. Now whoever paid that in 2005 can sell it for 5-6K!

I bet a majority of the board has absolutely no clue what this record is & if offered a free copy of this or the RSD Deja Entendu they would take Deja in a heartbeat 

 

I'd have to agree 100%. Unless they're into hardcore, most people have no clue what this record is all about and its "significance".

I had never heard of this album/band until this was posted. I grew up a bit in the punk/HC scene but never really got into it to the point that I'd know about this. But I think similar situations can be said for a lot of other genres/microgenres, where there are 'holy grails' that most people wouldn't have a clue about. One of them I read about recently is Bent Wind's Sussex (they were a psych-folk/proto-punk band from Toronto from the late 60s who self-released one album before disappearing). The last copy sold went for $3000 about 8-10 years ago, and I imagine one would fetch double if it were listed right now.  The story about it here: http://psychedome.blogspot.ca/2009/05/bent-wind-complete-history-commentary.html(my favourite part is how the lead singer sold his last two copies for enough money to take himself on vacation...glad he got a payout from it!).

So...what's the album's "significance"? I'm pretty curious.
