Original prices for LP albums

Rich didn't mention that you had to comparison shop Sam Goody's with Korvettes (Paramus, NJ, in my case) because Goody's might be 20 cents cheaper (or 20 cents more expensive) on any given record at any given time, depending on which labels were on sale at which store that week.

EJ Korvettes, wow, that brings back memories! I was once told that the name stood for "Eleven Jewish Korean Veterans", any truth to that?

-RW-

I bought Electric Ladyland- a double LP at my high school bookstore in 1982. I think I paid $12-. Most single LP's were $6.9 or so. Some of the pressings were rather sketchy around that time. I remember buying King Crimson on the EG label and it had a "pop" in it brand new. Zeppelin "In thru the out door was $8.99.

RW, thought it was Eight Jewishk Korean War Veterans. Used to buy my LP's from the Edison store on Rt 1 (maybe Woodbridge?)in NJ. Also from Two Guys From Harrison store in Middletown where I grew up. Most albums were from 3.99 new to 6.99 .

RW,

You might be confusing EIGHT Jewish Korean veterans (Korvettes)

with

The Nevele Hotel in the Catskill mountains which was purportedly named for the ELEVEN original Jewish investors. Nevele is eleven spelled backwards.

No idea whether either story is true, but I have heard both any number of times.
