"Suffering" by Don Carlos? £40. That sounds about right although I have seen it on eBay for $150. Didn't sell at that price though. So....
I was suprised to see the price quoted for Suffering, presumably there weren't many copies pressed. I brought mine in Norwich at a time when there was no specialist reggae shop in the city so it would have come from one of the High Street chain type record shop such as HMV which is why I thought it was fairly common.
Oh well makes mine look like a bargain now.

Actually, I don't have this Don Carlos LP, yet. Although I have tried to buy it many times it always gets bid up pretty high.
As for prices of records back in the day, I bought an original pre-release copy of Rockers in a Hungry Town (LP) back when it was very first released in a high street store in Portsmouth for probably 4.99. It now sells for hundreds of pouds - if you can find it. Sadly, I sold my copy for 50 pence in the early 80s

isnt there a coxsone studio one book out?
i think it has lists of records put out? I dont know if there are prices to go along with, but...
it seems like it would be hard for there to be a value guide, you know? cause it seems there were so many "odd ball" pressings. (singles and such) also it seems pressings from major labels are sometimes hard to find. maybe just in california, i mean you ask someone at a record store about reggae or dub and they look at you like you are from another planet. take Aswad "new chapter" & "new chapter of dub" for example. weren't those on major labels? I have seen both those records once. And it seems everyone i know has been looking for those for years. Any one feel the same?
