Thanks a lot!
I thought the burning spear would be more valuable. It looks like they made millions of those!

The second one is rare but I wouldn't say it's a $110+ record. I bought my copy for (I think) $15 on eBay last year. Can't remember the exact price but I remember it was very cheap. Nonetheless it's a GREAT album.

Agree.

are ebay prices an accurate representation or just who happens to be looking at that time?

many factors into considering what an lp is worth.

.the bottom line is what the buyer thinks. one day it might sell for 15 to one buyer the next 110 to another buyer and each may think they got a great deal.Quantum physics at its best.

who cares is a album is rare or not if you like the music, unless you are a trader.

i rate many very commonly available albums over rarities.

If they were rare I would be very careful with cover etc. Anyway it's not abouy money at all.
I'm just so happy to have those jamaican first pressings.
wailers, burning spear, sly & robbie & u brown are great artists.

I would have though that looking after the condition of a record would be a priority irrespective of value, rarity etc.
