Indeed. And it's also one of the most intense fuzzed out hard rock albums of the era. If you can live with that it's a bit uneven in places.

He should do a 'matinee' companion episode that takes place early enough for the Europeans/Scandinavians to take part & have the likes of DaN & Khnud on board to show off some of their pieces & gush about the merits of Witch Wrath's EP or whatever. I bet he'd be up for it. I'd totally b...

Nice to see MANSFIELD getting a mention, the release is noteworthy because it was the first record featuring Doug Aldrich. Thank you BigfootKit, for introducing this band to me via your blog, some 15 years ago. 8) In a nice full circle moment i'm sure i first read about the Mansfield record on the ...

Haha, I felt the exact same way. Alan will have no problems finding people to join the show, if he decides to give it another go.

Same here, watched through the first hour, will try to find the time to catch the rest along the line. Fun to hear your thoughts on why some of us choose to dig deeper into the obscure, and I totally agree with the idea that Priest, Maiden and Metallica don't need yet another three middle aged men p...

Will definitely check it out, unfortunately not live (it'll be 3 'o clock in the morning here).

It was an interesting collection to watch sell. I won 9 of the relatively cheap items. I did not bid on any of the big ticket items. You can see my thoughts on the auctions and the items i won over on YouTube: Hey, hey, nice scores Alan! Enjoy the Friday Rock Show LP, the Last Flight track is a KIL...

Sorry guys, haven't had the time to tune in yet. Will try to do so at the earliest opportunity.

Maybe NWoBHM 45s will be the new currency in the post-apocalyptic world that Zombie Dance' is picturing?

Then we're indeed rich! Happy times!

And I'm the depressive one?

Still, it's a valid question I think. We're all slowly moving towards that point in our lives when we need to start thinking about what should happen with our collections when we're no longer around. And at that point, it's understandable to begin comparing potential profit versus effort needed to s...

As for being rich - well define "rich".

Discogs collection value is one thing - actually getting that amount of $$ in your pocket (or in your bank account) is another. You can't pay your rent in vinyl records, and transforming a 3000+ item collection into cash is a lot of work.

On the other hand I bought a copy of the RSD Cro-mags reissue via Discogs for €20, and the 'Lowest sold' on the release page is €25.47. So they are, probably conscious, filtering out lower priced sales to artificially raise the 'market price' for records. They only show the 10 latest sales, perhaps...

I dare to say the Goldsmith and Angel Witch 45s were even more insane.

I also dare to say I believe most of his auctions were won by non US folk.

Now, this is just complete madness. Utterly, utterly insane. What's going on?
