Boy am I glad no one bought my albums


Recently I ran an auction for 9 audiophile classical lps. You know the ones, for MoFi, Cheski, Reference Recording, ect.... I thought that $175 was a fair starting price, which means less than $20 each. These were in almost new condition. I've paid more for less!

Well, I didn't get one bid but I am not disappointed. I listened to them last night and boy was I impressed! Now, I am not a Classical music fan, it just doesn't move me. Sure, it is nice enough but not engaging. That has all changed after last night. The strings were fantastic the drums knocked me over, making me weak in the knees, and the horns were like sirens pleading me to stay.

And, Stay I will. Thank you for not buying these albums! It would have been a mistake to part with them!

You are absolutely wrong! I'm not at all sour. As I think stated, "I am glad no one bought my records".

As for them being over priced, well, okay, but who cares! I'm glad no one bid on them. I would have given away a treasure of music.

I listen to the Feste of Romane and the Pines of Rome last night, MoFi, demonstration, "not for resale disc", which was as quiet as a grave. It almost made me cry.

Afterwards, I listen to MoFi "Victory at Sea", vol 2 and 3, which I have seen 1-3 sell for $200(+), and again I was moved.

My point was not about bitterness. There is too much "real" things to be bitter about and a small amount of chump change or hi-fi isn't one of them. As a matter of fact if this pursuit ever makes me bitter I'll find something else to do with my time.

My point was about not giving something a chance and when given another opportunity to do so I was moved.



Ramstl If you think these recordings sounded good spinning on the platter I think your next step is taking in some live concerts in your area.
Tubegroover your right! I should go and if anyone has any recommendation within the Albany, NY area I would gladly take them.

And Glen, No, thank you!
I've tried to sell my Weltmeister(120bass buttons, 41 piano keys) and I'm happy I did not sell it!
Yesterday I've been trying to couple with Astor Piazola "Libertango" and played in duo with the record -- what a fun! I've discovered another way of listening music.
