I was picking through my meagre collection and off to the side i have a few sealed albums that I wanted to keep for later. Because we’re moving, and on a whim, i decided to check a few on discogs. Was pleasantly surprised that a few of my sealed albums are worth a bit. But i nearly fell off the chair when i checked this album.

I bought it many years ago because I knew Jorja Smith’s uncle through work. I was going to get it signed but never did. Just discovered how much it’s worth!!

That said, I doubt anyone is looking for it! But a sealed, mint copy is nice to have!

What records have you got that you’ve been shocked are worth more than you thought possible?

José Cid's 10 000 anos entre Vénus e Marte is so hard to find but me and my gf where looking for this album for a long time, so when I saw this in a record store we knew we needed to have it, it is a must have for any prog rock fan.

If you have never heard this album go listen to it right now it is the peak of portuguese prog rock.

So yeah , there I was.. One day from becoming a new father getting ready to load the car for the hospital stay , scrolling the app "Nextdoor" the one where neighbors keep tabs and talk shit on one another etc. I get a random message from a lady asking if I was the guy who bought records ?? I told her yes without even questioning (I think now it’s linked to your Facebook) she said she lived with her father who had a small box of country records in his closet .. normally I would have politely declined being that I had a pretty full schedule but I said "he’ll, it’s 2 minutes from my house" lemme go see what he’s got…. I barely made it out of that house with my knees still strong enough to carry my body. Along with this disc I pulled a Blind Lemon Jefferson , some good Cajun on local labels and a few more nice pre war hillbilly disc. Made it back home with enough time to make it to the hospital on time! I would have never heard the end of that ..

Found this rare Angolan press digging through my grandfathers forgotten records, found many great singles and rare Angolan presses.

Soooo I recently got a box of 45s and they are all obscure white label promo 45s. Is there any interest in them or have I just got several hundred space consumers??
