mwhite85 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looking for information on a LP I picked up earlier this summer. All the info I have is posted over at Discogs, including photos. Not even a peep on it over there, wondering if anyone has seen it before? And if not, who would know what it may be worth? Have found listings for other "Audition Supertone" pressings, but not this one. Not on searches, eBay, Discogs (except for my posting below), YouTube etc... Even searched the VC forum, that's what initially brought me here to post. Beyond it's intrinsic, and inquisitive value . But ANY insight or info would be most welcome. http://www.discogs.com/Arturo-and-his-Orchestra-Violins-in-Velvet/release/7131690 "Violins In Velvet - Moods for Moderns played by ARTRUO and his Orchestra" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Before the snarky and cynical comments and retorts start piling up...and they will as it's typical around here with such queries...I will be as forthcoming and honest in answering your question. There will be no real useful answer from anyone here. It's extremely rare when anyone at all here has any knowledge or info on older records such as this one you have. Additionally, any time a query arises from anyone on seeking to know a particular record's "worth" and "value", it will be met with extremely sarcastic and almost-aggressive replies and answers because in today's record collecting scene and community, especially those who are younger and more "idealistic", it's all about the music and the bands and not what something is worth a la comic books and beanie babies. This is, after all... THE HOBBY!!! Mourning Wood, No This Is Patrick, hempy3 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsterrod Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'd wager its value is closer to a penny than a hundred dollar bill, if that helps. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Wood Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Yeah, as JH said this is not the place. More likely to find someone who knows something about it or the label on Audio Asylum or Steve Hoffman Forums. Maybe Waxidermy. Or Instagram. Putting it on Discogs is a good start. Someone else will eventually either have it or look for it. Maybe put up a note as a review with your Discogs listing asking for info. There are very few money records that have yet to be discovered and when some new private "grail" is established, it definitely will not be a schmaltzy light classical album! If you like it, play it. If not, re-donate it. Tommy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 To be fair to the OP, they did their research and exhausted their options BEFORE making the thread. Yeah, 98.2% of the posters don't know anything about it, there's a very slight chance SOMEONE might. Cut em some slack will ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvv Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 why do you think an unknown album by an unknown musician will ever be worth more than 99¢ to anyone, dude you don't even know what year it was released in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 threads like this are so funny because it's always completely arbitrary whether or not people are going to absolutely rip on the OP. some person could make this same thread in 3 days and it would probably go way worse for them. I guess there are mixed reactions in here, but I love these threads when one person decides to be nice, and then everyone following isn't a complete ass.

HoneyFrosted Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I don't think it's silly or ill-advised to inquire the members of a vinyl-enthusiast forum about information regarding a specific release. But I will say that there are probably hundreds or thousands of vinyl releases from the 50's - 70's that have been lost to time and have yet to be rediscovered. That being said, OP, it's unlikely to be anything of worth, since there is so little information or interest. It can be surmised that this is not a coveted album.

cannonfunk Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Check out some of the records from that label around the time of its release. Most of them are owned by a couple of people, but none of them are in anyone's "want list." That pretty much signals that they aren't at all coveted, and even if they're rare, they aren't worth anything if no one wants them. As with most music of this style, today's generation of collectors just doesn't care, largely due to the fact that it bears little-to-no relevance to the music that came after it. I'll add that I recently found a mid-90's hip-hop 12" that wasn't on Discogs, but popsike had a listing for it that sold for $100+, and the releases from the same label around that time were selling for similar amounts. Just remember - Discogs is user created, so there will certainly be omissions and errors. But in your case, it's more likely that it's because no one cares about the album. Generic classical pop albums from the late 50's are a dime a dozen all across the US. Mourning Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 The OP hasn't even signed back in since he made the post. Imagine having to come back to half sincere, half screwing around posts all at once when you return to your topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we should at least get this to 1/4 sincere, 3/4 screwing around by the time they sign back in. cambionic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
