Probably the most appropriate place for this. The source of music in the USA by year.

Nice edit of a Robin Trower (Procol Harum) track from 1977:

Last week I got seven boxes of 45rpm 7-inch oldies, most have never been played, and far and away most are songs by artists I’ve never heard before, so I’m having good times discovering “new” 50+ year old awesomeness.
(That’s a $2,500-$3000 single btw. PM if interested...)

Bankers boxes, thousands of ‘em, and that is one of the higher values, probably because it’s a combination of rarity and a great-great song. Lots of rare r&b, soul, garage rock from small indie labels, circa 1955-1975. They were archive copies for a booking agency, and most have never been pulled from their sleeves let alone played. I’m selling on behalf for a 25% commission. Problem is finding buyers with fat wallets, because it’s really time-consuming. On the other hand, they’re easier to move and ship than LPs, and often fetch substantially higher prices. I do it for the discovery of the music as much as making money. I think there are close to a thousand records by my count that have NO official release listing at Discogs, which means I’ll have to list, tag & photograph the labels and sleeves for the website, and in my spare time it’ll take me a year-or-two.
Regarding sound quality, you’re right, there are laquers that are scratched to shit from the Fifties where the records sound remarkably good, and you can’t say the same about any vinyl manufactured after the mid-1970s.
