  Artist: Kingfish Title: K ingfish Label: Round Records Format: LP Catalog Number: RX-108 Year of Release: 1976 Country and Year of Edition: US 1976 Sell Price: $5.92 Sell Date: 7/18/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold:  7/21/26 NM/VG+ $21.58 Low: $2.00 VG/VG 2/18/26 Median: $9.97 Average: $14.33 High: $49.99 M/M Current low price: $1.19 VG/no cover, $1.99 VG/G+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 97 Have/Want: 2868/169 Where Sold: Waterloo, IL Time It Took To Sell:  2 years Where and When Bought: whatnot lot auction Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B Sad To See It Go: No Bob Weir's mid 70's side band Kingfish subseqently is credited to Bob in his digital catalog.   I found this used for $5.99 in the mid-80's, sold it at some point and got this one in an auction lot a couple years ago.  I don't how I let it go so low below median price since this was a nice shape copy, but there may have been an overall run after Weir passed raising the median with high end...

  Artist: Fatboy Slim Title:   You've Come A Long Way Baby Label: Astrawerks/Skint Format: CD Catalog Number: ASW 66247-2 Year of Release: 1998 Country and Year of Edition: US 1998 Sell Price: $3.34 Sell Date: 7/5/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold:  7/22/26 VG+/VG+ $1.75 Low: $1.00 Median: $3.15 Average: $3.56 High: $10.00 Current low price: $0.99 G/VG+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 86 Have/Want: 3531/270 Where Sold: Robertsdale, AL Time It Took To Sell:  16 years Where and When Bought: used Rocket Science NYC $8.99 Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B- Sad To See It Go: No Fatboy Slim's second album took a niche genre and made it extremely popular in 1998.  This was primarily on the strength of the videos that delivered the repetitive electronic DJ music from indistinguishable club music to comedy laden hits. Without the British cover of a morbidly obese character in a "I'm #1 So Why Try Harder" t-shirt exchanged for a wall jammed wooden shelf, something wa...

  Artist: Supergrass Title: In It For The Money Label: Capitol Format: CD Catalog Number: CDP 7243  855228 2 6 Year of Release: 1997 Country and Year of Edition: US 1997 Sell Price: $3.36 Sell Date: 7/10/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold:  6/14/26 G/VG $1.33 Low: $0.30 Median: $3.00 Average: $3.10 High: $6.00 Current low price: $0.90 NM/NM Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 32 Have/Want: 1047/55 Where Sold: Bethel Park, PA Time It Took To Sell:  16 years Where and When Bought: roommate CD giveaway  Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: A- Sad To See It Go: No  There wasn't a sophomore slump on Supergrass' In It For The Money.  Every track is good or great.  I liked the band ever since I heard "Caught By The Fuzz" before the first record came out.  I think WFDU had an import CD single.  This album I got in the last 90's as a record club close out that sold some time ago.  This copy was a drill cut promo given from an old roommates sprin...

Artist: Chumbawamba Title:  Tubthumper Label: Republic/Universal Format: CD Catalog Number: UD 35099 Year of Release: 1997 Country and Year of Edition: US 1997 Sell Price: $2.84 Sell Date: 7/5/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold:  7/1726 VG+/VG+ $1.00 Low: $0.99 Median: $2.00 Average: $2.58 High: $8.52 Current low price: $0.85 Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 86 Have/Want: 1614/103 Where Sold: Robertsdale, AL Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought: roommate CD giveaway bag Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: C- Sad To See It Go: No  Chumbawamba made a radical left turn from their anarcho-punk long running existance in 1997.  That it resulted in an album that sold over 5 million copies worldwide was not something even thought possible in the immediate post-Nirvana major label indie rock gold rush.  Like Crass and Conflict and The Ex, Chumbawamba were thought to be beyond such things. The electronic alterna-pop hit "Tubthumping" (-ing not -er)...

  Artist: Van Halen Title: Van Halen II Label: Warner Bros. Format: Cassette Catalog Number: W5 3312 Year of Release: 1979 Country and Year of Edition: US 1979 Sell Price: $5.69 Sell Date: 7/13/26 Condition: VG+/VG+   Discogs Last Sold:  5/12/26 M/M $24.00 Low: $1.00 Median:.$3.50 Average: $4.78 High: $24.00 Current low price: $2.00 VG+/VG Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 12 Have/Want: 558/124 Where Sold: Punta Gorda, FL Time It Took To Sell:  3 years Where and When Bought: Facebook marketplace  lot Gwiz-gau Letter Grade: B+ Sad To See It Go: No  Of the first 5, I always thought VHII to be the weakest of Van Halen's peak run.  Some people will never forgive them for their top 40 hit "Dance The Night Away," but that isn't anywhere near the worst song on the album.  Actually, that beat the opening track by far, a hard rockified version of Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good." Where Van Halen II can't be denied are the rock radio mainstays:...
