One of my favorit Swirls and one of the best covers ever. Cool to see this deal being filmed. I also have a Tudor Lodge, bought for roughly the same price, but that was 6-8 years ago. Congrats to a fantastic album!

[@geoffbirchenall]

Great find. Two years ago I was next in line to look at a box of records at a boot sale & the guy in front of me got a swirl Tudor Lodge for…50p! I almost vomited.

[@lordprotector3367]

I got Jan Dukes de Grey Mice and Rats for £1 a few years ago at a boot sale, so it can happen. It's sickening when someone in front of you gets the bargains. I also got both Trees albums, Ultimate Spinach Behold and See and two toploader White albums, along with Black Sabbath 1 on swirl for £1 at boot sales. That doesn't happen any more.

That is hard to take.

I was in a record shop in Glasgow in1980 , and saw a copy of Kaleidoscope's , Faintly Blowing , a Fontana original , NO watermark....and in mint condition...and I passed on it , as I'd heard some other so called obscure psychy uk lps that came out circa 1969/1970 , that didn't impress me. Then I heard a copy a chum had bought , sleeveless , at a market in Glasgow for £0.90. , a short while after I saw the copy I originally spotted. After hearing it , I freaked that I'd passed on the copy I saw....of course when I went back to the shop , it had long been snapped up. How much was the copy I saw , complete with it's fold out cover ? £0.50. it's stuck in my craw ever since. I've had other rarities I picked up back then , like the Arcadium , Breath Awhile LP , which I thought was awful , and sold it for next to nothing...if only I'd held onto it a few more decades ! Also had the first ? Raw Material LP , on the Neon label....bought for 0.50p....again , it didn't impress me. I never set about buying records for how they would perform on future auction sites , so , innocently just let them go for whatever I could get for them , or swap them for other vinyl. However , if I'd had any notion of the exorbitant values that records that I'd picked up for buttons and didn't like would fetch in future , I'd have been more wary about letting them go ! They could have been used to swap against overpriced records I'd subsequently be after. At the end of the day , it's the music , and liking what you hear , that counts. The Five Hours Back repress from 1986 of Kaleidoscope's, Faintly Blowing , albeit it's just on a single non fold out sleeve , sounds fantastic....I can't tell the difference between it and the Fontana label issue (which I scrutinised when I heard a pressing).

What did this tudor lodge grade? £400 seems very reasonable. Living in Ireland and Swordfish records along with the diskery in Birmingham are 2 of my regular stops when in the UK. The most ive ever spent on one record is €700 for a copy of Thin Lizzy's first single the Farmer, which i think would go for 2-3k if sold online.

Always a great video! I have to check out Tudor Lodge. I never bothered to check it out, but I will. Now, the most I spend on records is down below. The copies I bought are all in VG+ condition. Pentagram's debut is like closer to NM. Pentagram - S/T (1985, Pentagram, US) - £395 Day of Reckoning (1987, Napalm, US) - £158 (Bought it from a Discogs seller in Brazil. I had sweaty hands for three weeks waiting for it haha) Culpeper's Orchard - S/T (1971, Polydor, DK) - £156 Hair - Piece (1970, Parlophone, DK) - £123 (The fuzz is nice on that one!) Check out Culpeper's Orchard! Danish heavy progressive rock with a folk flavoured sound. They had a British vocalist named Cy Nicklin. That album could've fitted right in with the other Vertigo releases.

[@isacdemons2001]

I would definitely pay that much for the pentagram's debut with the purple logo.Congratulations for finding a copy, still looking for one...someday!

[@cr4ck3rj4ck26]

I've only ever gone upto about £80, but I've bought albums yrs ago that are no worth a few quid. I've got a few VERTIGO, Beggars Opera, Sabbath (obviously), Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Uriah Heep, Jim Croce, list goes on. Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland (Original Cover) NM - Cover, VG - Vinyl, is probably one of my most expensive. Also, quite a few soul albums worth a few quid, Alice Clark - Alice Clark original on Mainstream Records.

I don't have any serious grails for the music. I collect hit albums and there are a few that I'm not keen on that should be in the collection at some point because of their hit status (Led Zep, blue-triangle Dark Side etc.), but as far as the real favourite music, it's rock 'n' roll (so 1961 is modern by those standards!). I have debut and early albums by Jerry Lee Lewis, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry. The 2 most expensive in that collection were Sound of Fury (Billy Fury, £80) and Elvis 2 (£125), and Elvis' UK debut, £75 in 3rd. I'd happily spend more if needed, but the market doesn't demand it and is declining.

[@JohnBlutarski]

I read somewhere that Elvis records are getting cheaper and cheaper. Because all the early collectors are dying rapidly

[@dcarbs2979]

@@JohnBlutarski I heard that 20 years ago, and bought my copies around 10 years ago. I'm not sure it's true. A quick look at Discogs' offers, yes you can get them cheaper tthan mine, but only in poorer condition. The ones in better condition (also as at the time I bought them) are much more expensive. What does seem to have happened is that my middle-ground compromise is no longer available. It's either trashed or expensive now, no reasonable condition or price: you have to comprimise on one or the other, not both as I was able to do.
