However, the fantasy that he was a bad boy just like the people he was playing for earned notar...

  Artist: The Rolling Stones Title: Let It Bleed Label: ABKCO Format: CD Catalog Number: 80042 NCD 4 Year of Release: 1969 Country and Year of Edition: US 1986 Sell Price: $4.88 Sell Date: 9/10/26 Condition: VG+/VG+ Discogs Last Sold: 8/3/26 VG+/VG+ $4.95 Low: $2.99 Median: $5.00 Average: $5.16 High: $10.06 Current low price: $5.00 VG/VG Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 3 Have/Want: 240/175 Where Sold: San Diego, 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 I relied on a dollar bin copy of Let It Bleed for many years, deep into the CD era.  Somehow, I never got this 1986 ABKCO remaster.  I guess what I had played clean enough.  The Hot Rocks hits were "Gimmie Shelter," "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Midnight Rambler."  "Monkey Man" was a big Rock radio hit.  However, the quality didn't drop off once you removed those key cuts. You can'...

The "hit" here of course is "I've Had To Much To Dream Last Night."  "Get Me To The World On Time" was another one that rang familiarity bells.  Even though I've...

  Artist: Laura Nyro Title: Eli and the 13th Confession Label: Columbia Format: LP Catalog Number: CS 9626 Year of Release: 1968 Country and Year of Edition: US 1968 Pitman Pressing Sell Price: $7.34 Sell Date: 8/17/26 Condition: VG/VG with original foldover lyric sheet Discogs Last Sold: 8/24/26 G/G+ $2.40 Low: $1.57 G+/G+ Median: $10.22 Average: $12.11 High: $38.00 VG+/VG+ 7/18/25 Current low price: $2.50 G+/G+ Curren Number on Sale at Discogs: 23 Have/Want: 475/244 Where Sold: Greensboro, NC 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 Although I saw Nyro open for Dylan in the early 90's at Tanglewood in Lenox, MA , I never really listened to her stuff until the early 2000's.  Outsider filmmaker Nick Zedd had mentioned that he really liked this album so I picked up a CD copy sometime in the early aughts.  This particular vinyl copy that sold came in a lot from a few years back, and ha...

In the US, some of these were album tracks psychologically.  "I Want To Hold Your Hand" was the k...
