I've always wanted a $75 copy of the Francesco LP.

So, let's see if I have got this right. All I need to do is punch a whole in the cover of my copy of 'Broadway the hard way' and it's value will instantly increase from $20 to $150?
Thats really cool, I'm off to ebay to buy as many copies of it as I can, once I have punched holes in them and sold them at a massive profit I will be able to afford to buy future releases from Barfko Swill.

There's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over.

I think now we can officially claim the ZFT have lost all connections with reality and their fanbase, because the prices for these pieces of Barking Pumpkin Vinyl are just completely insane

I mean, come on... $400.00 for the Joe's Garage Box Set ?

When i was in Berlin in july, i came across the exact same Boxset (in near mint condition) for only 35 Euro's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How far up your own ass must one's head be to ask these sort of prices for (let's face it) old stuff ???

I have complete vinyl up to Them or Us, some of which I don't want to part with. I listen to FZ (like most of the rest of my collection) off the hard drive.

At these prices, my collection could get me a retirement home.

At these prices, they are surely hand signed by Frank. Right?

In 2008 i sold a full big box of zappa lps for about 7$ each

Zut, I would have been happy to get $75 each. Although I love the covers, and the Bizarre versions (including a Bizarre copy I have of At the Ark) have GREAT mastering, the music is the thing and I have that in digital on the hard drive and the CDs .

the original vinyl mixes of MOST of the albums are a million times better than the shitty 80s/90s FZ approved remasters/remixes. some are as we all know, a fucking abomination

I could have had put em on Ebay but i was moving, my brother had just die and i was in a kind of rush without room to bring em with me.

That's seven dollars each, Tweezers. (the French-Canadians put the dollar sign after the amount)

do you know what i'm really telling you is it something that you can understand?

I guess these albums are for hard core completists, so maybe they have a place for that limited audience. Gail can do what she wants, but it's too steep for me, that's for sure. I'd actually like to have new versions of these albums, because a few years ago my basement flooded and I lost my entire record collection.

Yes, the kind who keep everything sealed... like in The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Shipped vinyl (GEMM): Tinseltown Rebellion and SUNPYGSM (orig. mail order ed.) - total cost $44, incl. PP. Air mail from the US to Europe was the largest amount on the bill.
