So I’m house-sitting for my parents while they’re out of town and playing around on the computer which is also in my father’s record room. My dad has a huge record collection, about 5000-6000 45’s and 2000-3000 LP’s. While I’m on the Straight Dope, I remember our very own aha and check the 45’s to see if my dad has Western Union since I had never heard it. It was easy enough to find, since one of my dad’s dividers was labeled “Five Americans.” (He also has Zip Code in case you were wondering.)
So I take the record out and listen to it, and when I put it back in its sleeve I switch the stereo from “phono” to “FM”, where my dad has it set to an Oldies station (no offense). Guess what they were playing - Zip Code. I’d never heard either of these songs before and now here they are back-to-back, one on the record player and the other on the radio. Weird, huh?
Now where in that OP did I say I was on ebay? I wouldn’t sell those now, I just have to wait for the old man to kick it and all those records get willed to me anyway. Sounds mean, I know, but my dad and I joke about it all the time. It is tempting now that you mention it though . . .
How much would the Beatle’s White Album go for in near mint condition, still with the poster?
