One would be in bliss or anxiety ridden purgatory according to what you want, what you find, and how many euros they want! Maybe the last day of the weekend is better for negotiating prices.
This should even give pause to those who would proclaim “all bill Evans are the same” to those who have studied bill Evans.. I don’t listen to anyone except these two. The false arrogance of some of the community turns my stomach. They treat all comers as if they just bought a tabletop at Walmart.. Humility.

The prices for "E2-E4" are crazy. Of course it is a fantastic influential record, but I remember when it came out in 1984. It almost went unnoticed, being on Klaus Schulze's quite obscure Inteam label. I even remember critics back then wrote that this was obsolete Kraut music from the seventies and absolutely uninspired. :D Funny how things change sometimes over the years.
@@rabarebra This may be the case for more or less popular rock records, but is certainly not true for LPs like "E2-E4". It was far away from the mainstream musically when it was first published and not so many original LPs were pressed. It is next to impossible to find such records in a normal household in Europe.
@@markusberzborn6346 yes Markus, i believe this is pure ignorant trolling, since as you certainly know, this was a 1000 copies pressing only, and at that fair alone, there were at least a couple of thousand people alone who would buy that record without a second thought, anywhere, for way more than 10€. I personally got mine for that, but 20+ years ago, before Discogs sales stats, in a jazz shop that hated anything non jazz😅
It was op shandar, but I’ve had it for over 2. Decades, several times. I love LMY, but I have all his records, including the bootlegs. A pristine copy of the 5xLP box set would have me a little more emotional, though 😅
Collect many things - dealers want $$$$$ and the cost of constant acquiring, storing, shipping back and forth, insurance, etc - if broken down on an hourly basis, not much. Some are hoarders, thinking they have a gold mine. Ten years go by, they increase prices, and is it a profitable business?
i would never let you look through my records like that , by dropping them down you can split the seams and also could crack a record . not here for an argument but as a collector for 35 years with 20,000 records thats what can happen , great footage of the fair though Michael , would so like to go there , but so far away from Australia . you are lucky that you live close , heard about this fair since the first 1 . i have been to many in the U.S. though .
I have (almost) the complete French Philips Prospective 21e siècle series, musically they are all fantastic, not a single uninteresting record among them, and quite often they also sound excellent. The pressings though are sometimes quite noisy and sometimes not, I have not yet found a general rule there.
WOW, everyone is so old! It looks like the same people at this record fair as went to all the fairs in the 80s. Yes... it's the same people. In the 80s it was unusual to see people over 30 years of age. This is putting me off vinyl man! LOL... anyhow... have fun!
@@ralex3697 In this context... half a century plus... that's past half way for most mortals... But don't get me wrong... i'm old myself, and i quite like it so i don't see it as a negative. It's just that i had the impression that this vinyl resurgence was being driven by a generation that grew up on CD and downloads. I imagined by the time you get to our age you have almost all the records you ever want and needed. After 40+ years of buying vinyl, i myself have almost all i want. For me, the only stuff i buy these days are newly composed titles. Like... i have bought all of Lorde's albums since her debut "Pure Heroine" in 2013... as well as Clinton Fearon's 2022 new album "Breaking News". Trying to find good new music is not easy for me these days. However, funny how some jump to the conclusion my observation is an "ism"... but i guess that's a sign of the times. Lol
@@jackbfruby There are no races.... it's a social construct. We all originate from Africa. It's been proven with DNA. We are one race... the human race... period! You should refrain from using the term as it is both divisive and a provocation to violence.
@@rabarebra ..This is undoubtedly one of the best, maybe THE best hard rock recording of all time, but you need a good pressing if you’re going to unleash anything approaching its full potential. We (Betterrecords/T.Port) just conducted a shootout and heard MUCH more bad sound than good. You name it - imports, reissues, originals - we’ve played ’em, and most of them were TERRIBLE. (Especially the non-RL originals. That’s some of the worst sound we’ve ever heard. If you see a “J” stamper run for your life.) The best copies of Zep II have the kind of rock and roll firepower that’s guaranteed to bring any system to its knees. I can tell you with no sense of shame whatsoever that I do not have a system powerful enough to play this record at the levels I was listening to it at in one of our shootouts a while back. When the big bass comes in, hell yeah it distorts. It would have distorted worse at any concert the band ever played. Did people walk out, or ask the band to turn down the volume? No way. The volume IS the sound. That’s what the album is trying to prove. This recording is a statement by the band that they can fuse so much sonic power into a piece of vinyl that no matter what stereo you own, no matter how big the speakers, no matter how many watts you think you have, IT’S NOT ENOUGH. The music will be so good you be unable to restrain yourself from turning it up louder, and louder, and still louder, making the distortion you hear an intoxicating part of the music. Resistance, as we all know, is futile. The louder you play a top copy, the better it sounds. Turn up “Moby Dick” as loud as you can. Now it’s starting to sound like the real thing. But drum kits play FAR LOUDER than any stereo can, so even as loud as you can play it isn’t as loud as the real thing. This is in itself a form of distortion, a change from the original sound. If at the end of a side you don’t feel like you’ve just been run over by a freight train, you missed out on one of the greatest musical experiences known to man: Led Zeppelin at ear-splitting levels. If you missed them in concert, as I did, this is the only way to get some sense of what it might have been like. (Assuming of course that you have the room, the speakers and all the other stuff needed to reproduce this album. Maybe one out of fifty systems I’ve ever run into fits that bill. But we’re all trying, at least I hope we are, and it’s good to have goals in life, even ones you can never reach.)
@@lucullus6127 don’t sweat it with the troll 😉 far from being a led zep fan myself, and not caring about that album and it’s music, I should still be able to acknowledge the specifics of that pressing, and not make fun of its fans.

Yeah, I saw that too. A good way to get the stink eye.
You kill them with a smile and a nice word, and finish the bin before they are with their own 😇 and no pushing, that’s indeed a no no

What a massive venue. You'd need days to go through it

@@continentalgin I wouldnt be able to get through there in one day

Overwhelming
During 8:39 to 8:42, I think Stunty flips through a record that I played on: Magic Flowers Droned by Psychedelic Horseshit 😂🤷🏻♂️🙇🏻♂️
So funny ! While I saw that, in my head, I was going « where have I heard about that recently ? » 😂
French fellow had that moondog 😯 great records at the show clearly.

Love this Michael and stunty
i agree those false Prophets are a pain in the a...
Stunts probably owns about 90% of all those records anyway. Lol
That is a problem indeed, being wowed, and soon remembering you already have it

Listening to E2-E4 right now, after watching you video, I got influenced by you 🙏😁👍 good luck at the fare 🙏👍🤞
Would be good if you could ask a few punters what they are looking for
Damn it, I told himself I was not going to buy any vinyl this weekend. Well maybe just a couple, thanks guys!
For Your Love - Yardbirds
Thank you !
Can't believe you've missed out on that La Monte Young Album
Interesting whether it is the original Shandar or the reissue from 2016.
It was op shandar, but I’ve had it for over 2. Decades, several times. I love LMY, but I have all his records, including the bootlegs. A pristine copy of the 5xLP box set would have me a little more emotional, though 😅
Great to see reporting from the scene!
Awesome Silver Series!
What was the album you were looking for Michael with the checker board that was $300
That was Manuel Goetsching (tangerine dream) legendary E2-E4, incredibly influential
@@StuntrockConfusion thanks.
Siouxsie!!!!! at 5:00 ; ) , Japan, get in, remember when Gang of 4 n 10k maniacs were all the rage, have fun peeps
Cheers !
Lots of static noise in the video recording
Yes, Michael’s first streaming from the phone, he didn’t know about echo cancellation feature
My god Stunty is FAST
