If people bought a
Charlie Rich vinyl record in the 1970s, this was it. Apparently. This is the
fifth copy of “Behind Closed Doors” in my for-sale pile. I don’t think I have
ever sold one.
As I place the tag
on this latest copy, I realize that I don’t think I have ever listened to it.
So, I put it on to see if my customers and I are missing out.
It’s not bad. I am a
lukewarm country guy, but I think it’s quality enough that young country fans
should give it a try if they are coming to the sale I am setting up at this weekend.
I have about nine hundred other records folks should check out, too. Ha.
I believe this is
the most copies I have of one album. I do have four copies of Kenny Rogers’ “The
Gambler” and “Greatest Hits.”
I am trying to be
more organized this time, and I have albums divided by genre and I am trying to
keep records by the same artist together. I haven’t decided if that is a good
thing when it comes to having multiple copies of the same album.
I wonder if the
potential rarity of an album makes it more interesting to some of my buyers. If
they see five of the same album by Charlie Rich, do they think maybe it’s too
common for their collection?
Certainly it hurts the value I can put on the
record. I put four dollars on the Charlie Rich album. I hope someone gives it a
chance, even if they’ve never listened.
