pudgym 14th Jan 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - The Blues Volume 2 (1963) | Who pressed this LP?
The typography of the title and artist information looks more like ARP than Chess | Checker | Argo's in-house fonts.

pudgym 10th Jan 2022 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Hombres - Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out) (1967) | @Beggars_Road | Huh? When I bought my cut-out copy of this LP in the late 1970s, I paid only 59¢ for it. I have not played it. It's in a rack behind other boxes which are heavy and bulky, and should not be attempted to be moved by one person.
Some people just have absurd ideas that their artifact is worth a million (or something close to).
Please check the comments on the Mono issue of this LP.
