Over a year ago, I bought two interesting collections of records in a relatively short period of time. One was a collection with a lot of 70s and 80s guitar rock, and the other had some of that and wider range of bands and genres from the 60s, 70s and 80s.
That second collection had some deeper cut albums, so I am always curious what the value is for some of them.
Tonight, I put “Rings Around the Moon” by Carillo on while pricing records for my next sale (which could be as soon as this weekend, but likely not until the Saturday of Thanksgiving).
There were reasons to get excited. First, I liked the record despite not having heard the songs before. They were solid rock songs. Second, the jacket had a promotional copy sticker on the front along with a stamp in the top right corner, actually stamped over the first word of the title.
So, after finishing my pricing and doing a quick reorganizing of my priced rock and pop records, I looked the album up on Discogs.
This is probably the first time that I’ve seen that promotional copy is worth less than the regular release, and neither has a ton of value. The median value falling at the three-dollar range. That’s my cutoff usually, so Carillo will be a dollar at the next sale. Hopefully, it’s the kind of record that a collector will grab for a dollar.
Heck, I am almost tempted to keep it.
I was also going to use one of the songs for this blog, but Spotify doesn’t appear to have Carillo in its catalog. So, here’s a song from the Nazareth album I put in after Carillo.
The Nazareth album has a median value of six dollars.
