They store told me they thought it was worth $1,500 or more and that they are going to put it to auction on eBay. Lame…
I don’t think they’ll get $1,500, but I doubt that they’ll start the auction any lower than that either, uggghhh….
Two more eBay scores:
– Tristessa 7\" on Greg vinyl
– Siamese Dream 2lp vinyl HUT White label Promo.
Just picked up a copy of the original Gish LP out of Germany off eBay.
Thanks Killer Pumpkins!!! (seller)
So as I have wait for the record store to get back to me, can anyone tell me the history behind the Tristessa 7\" test pressings? I can’t seem to find anything.
Do we know how they entered the marketplace at all?
So the guy didn’t have an idea on price for me when I was there. I followed up today and they told me they’d find it and price it by next week for me.
I also asked today what color it was and the guy said he had ‘no clue’. So I’m hoping for the red test pressing, I’m guessing it may end up being a grey copy (which I’d still like to own).
I’ll keep you all posted!
Once again, thanks guys/gals!
I messaged the guy telling him all of the above info, and asked him for the original receipt/invoice from 1991 but haven’t heard anything back.
Have you all looked on eBay lately, there seem to be a number of people representing the 2000 Gish vinyl as that of the Pumpkins 1991 release. Case in point:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SMASHING-PUMPKI … 4ad018471d
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1991-Smashing-P … 258990c08a ($287… REALLY?!?!?!)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smashing-Pumpki … 461a86e62f (this is the one that I was in conversation to buy, as we both live in Seattle)
… and at least 5 others.
Ok, so here is what he told/sent me after I mentioned to him the record he was selling appeared to be the 2000 re-issue of Gish. (I sent him the spfreaks link to it)
Greetings. LP also released it in USA in 1991. According to discogs the 2000 version has the word \"remastered\" below the barcode and this one does not. According to my inventory records my store brought in 8 copies bought directly from Caroline in 1991. My database does not say German or USA release but the cost and list price indicated a US release. Also, if you look at pictures of the 1991 overseas version it has an extra box of information to left of barcode. Either way it is a lot of money and if your not comfortable I would probably pass on it. It has been cool chatting and keep on buying vinyl!
Best regards,
ScottP.S. http://www.discogs.com has a wealth of great information.
What do you all think?
You guys were both right, after looking into it further it was indeed the US 2000 pressing from Caroline. Thanks for the heads up and keeping the cash in my wallet!!!
I won the Siva 12\" off eBay, autographed by the entire band (original band, D’arcy included).
And got a solid price on it too!!!
That would be great, I’d love to get one or both from you.
I tried to PM you to talk price/specifics but it wouldn’t go through.
You can email me at ryspahr@gmail.com.
Thanks!
I won an eBay auction for $300 I got:
– Light Into Dark lp (sealed)
– Light Into Dark cd (#15/100, signed by Mr. Barry Waterman)
– Light Into Dark cassette sampler passed out at the release partyIt was a chunk of change, an early Xmas gift to myself.
Just posted the WWMM/Song For A Son 7\" for sale on eBay.
No reserve price!!!!
Yeah my copy ends in an 8 like the one pictured on SP Freaks.
I don’t have any plans on opening it!
Thanks for the insight…Umm nope, not trying to finance a trip or pay my rent with them….
Would prefer to trade probably. I’d love to get a mint copy of SD on vinyl, peach rocket 7\", something that’s similarily limited… the Siva 12\" single.
Money talks as well… but I don’t need to get rid of them either.
Some Pumpkins helped me pick up some gems as well. 27 records in all, nearly all of them 7\" vinyl.
Worth noting the Rhinoceros/Siva 7\" promo, Teargarden volume #1 (sealed), Pisces Iscariot w/7\" #319, two copies of pink Tristessa 7\" and many more… just need the grey Tristessa 7\" and I will have every Pumpkins 7\" record released!
