Price tags lie. A vintage-looking price sticker on a record doesn't mean the record itself is vintage. The sticker dates the sticker, not the pressing. Sellers will sometimes preserve or apply old stickers to imply age the record doesn't actually carry. When you're evaluating a listing, ignore the price tag and look at: matrix runout, pressing plant markings, label font/color variations, and sleeve construction. Those are verifiable. The sticker is decoration. If a listing leans on a vintage price tag as the "proof," look more carefully. — Drew

Auctions have been heating up recently with graded vinyl. Here is a sweet Yellow Submarine early copy sealed with the FREE punched in the sleeve making this an early promo. Sold for a pretty penny. So hard to find these in great condition like this!

Stopped by Purchase Street Records today in New Bedford, MA and picked up this gem. Original EU pressing. Very nice shape. Purchase Street Records has the best selection of original 80’s and 90’s vinyl I’ve ever seen in a retail store. Check them out if you’re in New England.

Discogs Demand Ratio (DDR) is great on this album - 0.70. (<1.0 suggests high demand).

Check another one off the want list. Incredibly collectable - only 346 haves on Discogs, with a Discogs Demand Ratio (DDR) of 0.446, which is great. Highly sought after. Great album. Pure 90’s.

Check off another of my Holy Grail’s. Arrived today in the mail. Vinyl is pristine. Cover is Ex (dent on top left). Would have preferred it be packaged better, lol, but all good. Super high demand, individually numbered album, with a DDR of 0.38, which is incredible!
