  Artist: Neil Young Title:  On The Beach Label: Reprise Format: 8-Track Catalog Number: L8R-2180 Year of Release: 1974 Country and Year of Edition: US 1974 Sell Price: $11.60 Sell Date:  10/9/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ tested start to finish, sounds great! Discogs Last Sold: 5/6/26 VG+/VG+ $5.70 Low: $2.99 Median: $8.00 Average: $9.77 High: $22.00 Current low price: $7.99 VG+/VG Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 8 Have/Want: 80/287 Where Sold: Toronto, ON, Canada Time It Took To Sell: 2 years Where and When Bought: Ebay lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A- Sad To See It Go: No It took until 2003 for On The Beach to get an official CD reissue.  The vinyl was hard enough to find in the 90's that I got a bootleg CD with bonus tracks that got issued.  This seems odd, because it was a Gold record in the US in it's year of release.  There were a cluster of 70's titles that Neil was holding back for reissue due to audio issues that he felt HDCD improved enough to go fo...

  Artist: Steely Dan Title:  A Decade of Steely Dan Label: MCA Format: CD Catalog Number: MCAD-5570 Year of Release: 1985 Country and Year of Edition: US remaster Sell Price: $3.79 Sell Date:  10/14/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold: 9/15/26 VG+/VG+ $1.40 Low: $0.94 Median: $1.97 Average: $2.29 High: $5.19 Current low price: $1.25 VG/VG+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 21 Have/Want: 502/31 Where Sold: Mill Valley, CA Time It Took To Sell: 3 years Where and When Bought: Facebook marketplace lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A Sad To See It Go: No When I first saw this compilation in a dozen CD order, I thought this was a low priority title to write about with about 30 titles backlogged.  Not only had I written about several pieces of the main catalog of the Dan, but those efforts were fairly recent. This CD was compiled in 1985, the dawn of the repackaged for CD era, where single discs where maxed out with 70 minutes of music and sold for $15.98 list price....

  Artist: Neil Young & Crazy Horse Title: Psychedelic Pill Label: Reprise Format: 2xCD Catalog Number: 531980-2 Year of Release: 2012 Country and Year of Edition: US 2012 with booklet Sell Price: $8.54 Sell Date: 10/15/26 Condition: VG+/VG+  Discogs Last Sold: 10/13/26 VG+/VG+ $6.07 Low: $3.00 Median: $7.50 Average: $7.90 High:$18.33 Current low price: $3.00 VG+/VG+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 26 Have/Want: 1010/128 Where Sold: Tunbridge, VT Time It Took To Sell: 3 years Where and When Bought:  Facebook marketplace CD lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A- Sad To See It Go: No Of all the albums Neil Young has cranked out in his later years (say the last 20-25 or so), Psychedelic Pill may very well be my favorite.  At least, of the half dozen or so that I've heard.  At some point he put out so much archival stuff I couldn't keep up even with his new albums.  For whatever reason though, I was able to focus on a download of this title enough even if he ...

  Artist: Grateful Dead Title: American Beauty Label: Warner Bros. Format: CD Catalog Number: W2 1893 Year of Release: 1970  Country and Year of Edition: US  80's or 90's Columbia House  Sell Price: $4.27 Sell Date: 10/14/26 Condition: VG+/VG+  Discogs Last Sold: 8/26/26 NM/VG+ $6.75 Low: $1.62 Median: $3.28 Average: $3.62 High:$7.78 Current low price: $2.65 VG/VG+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 9 Have/Want: 189/249 Where Sold: Mill Valley, CA Time It Took To Sell: 3 years Where and When Bought:  Facebook marketplace CD lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A+ Sad To See It Go: No I had one of those nights that I snapped awake at 4:30AM and decided to get up and listen to something before it shipped.  Something not too long and not too punishing.  Why not the comfortable old shoe of American Beauty that was in the shipping pile?  The perfect length where I was hoping I would listen, then go back to bed. Some things with American Beauty stood ou...

  Artist: The Rolling Stones Title: Sticky Fingers Label: Rolling Stones Records Format: CD Catalog Number: CK 40488 Year of Release: 1971 Country and Year of Edition: US  1990 Sell Price: $4.07 Sell Date: 10/14/26 Condition: VG+/VG+  Discogs Last Sold: 5/13/26 VG+/VG $3.00 Low: $3.00 Median: $3.00 Average: $3.36 High:$4.07 Current low price: $8.55 VG+/VG+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 2 Have/Want: 34/289 Where Sold: Mill Valley, CA Time It Took To Sell: 3 years Where and When Bought:  Facebook marketplace CD lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A+ Sad To See It Go: No Sticky Fingers sold in a large sale of mostly 80's/early 90's masterings.  Sticky Fingers made it's debut on CD in 1986 when Sony took over the Rolling Stones Records catalog.  This remaster came in 1990 before Virgin took over the catalog in 1994 for it's own remastering series.  The early years of CD's were, shall we say, low frills.  It was the "magic" of CD quality that enabled ...
