For that price I hope it includes a high-end TT, tube amp and speakers to play it on, too. :B

....But it has a letter of authenticity!

$16K? looks like it closed at $22K 8O Man, just when you thought you'de seen it all. I mean yeah it's a rare album but it's not a Butcher cover, or signed, or even had a drink spilled on it by someone famous. So what if it was number 6, they pressed 6 million more right after it.
I guess i'm more into the sound of vinyl than collecting. Thankfully almost all the good stuff is available brand new on LP's and sounds a hell of a lot better than most of the mastering they did 30 years ago (especially the Phil spectre crap).

draganm,

I'm incline to agree. While I do understand and respect one's passion for a hobby, I am having a little trouble digesting this one. But to each his own.
I know for that amount, I could have purchased every piece of HT/music gear I've ever wanted, most of the software to go with it and still had change to blow on other stuff too! But...that's just me! :B

Now the real question is, will he play it??? I must admit, I'd be torn with the choice. I mean, music was meant to listen to, yes? I look at it like collecting cars. Their great to look at but, they were built for driving. I don't think I could own that album and not play it now and then.

But how would you feel about scratching your 22k dollar LP???

[John Holmes]

Hmmm, pretty much the same way I'd feel about scratching the paint on my car, or my cd's, dvd's and any other album that I own...I'd be a little upset. But, I take good care of my items.
