Grease: The Original Soundtrack from the Motion Picture

Product Information

Collectors often become interested in records that have gone out of print, and the prices for these no longer available titles can get quite high, depending on the artist and title. In these cases, collectors are usually paying high prices simply to hear the music. Record companies do pay attention to such market trends, and today, it’s quite common to see newly-pressed reissues of albums for sale that haven’t been available on the market in decades. Autographed records with provenance, such as a photograph of the artist signing the record, tend to bring the highest prices of all. Listed below are a few examples of record albums which were withdrawn from the market shortly before or shortly after being released to stores. Schulman, Leif (20 January 1979).

After he left Motown Records in 1976, he embarked on a career as a bestselling author.

Many albums by the Beatles, along with other popular artists such as the Yardbirds, Elvis Presley, and Pink Floyd, have been counterfeited. In a few cases, such as the Beatles album Introducing the Beatles, counterfeit copies may actually outnumber the real ones. Guitar – Bob Rose, Cliff Morris, Dan Sawyer, Dennis Budimir, Jay Graydon, Joey Murcia, John Farrar, Lee Ritenour, Thomas Tedesco* In the case of some albums, which may have only been originally for sale from small record companies, these reissues might actually sell more copies than the original album. When an album is reissued, the original vinyl record’s value usually falls in the marketplace. While some collectors remain interested in owning an early or an original pressing of a recently reissued album, there are others who are only interested in hearing the music, and will be happy to own a reissued version of the album instead. As with acetates, test pressings are usually used for evaluation purposes by record company personnel, though they are occasionally sent out as promotional items. As they are rather unusual and limited in production to just a handful of copies, test pressings are highly regarded and sought out by collectors. Sometimes, test pressings may contain different versions of one or more songs from the commercially released albums. This can also add to their value.As a rule, collectors tend to favor original pressings, so for a given title, the most desirable label variation would be whichever one was in use on the day the record was originally released for sale to the public. There are exceptions to this, however. The red Capitol label mentioned above was commonly used in the early 1970s for a number of titles, but was never intended to be used for records by the Beatles. A few copies of the band’s Revolver and Yesterday and Today albums were accidentally issued with that label, and despite not being “original” issues, they do sell for quite a lot of money on the collector’s market.

In a 2021 interview, she talked about her openness to death. “We all know we’re going to die, but I think we spend our lives in denial,” she said on the Australian podcast “A Life of Greatness.”“It’s extremely personal so it’s hard to put into words.” She continued, “I feel that we are all one thing and I’ve had experiences with spirits and spirit life. I believe there is something that happens. I hope the energies of the people you love will be there… I think all the love will be there. I’m sort of looking forward to that, not now, but when it happens.”Consider this Part II of our Todd Haynes retrospective here at Work + Money following our dissection of his 2021 documentary about The Velvet Underground. One factor that’s of vital importance in determining a vinyl record’s value is condition, which we’ll discuss at length later. Because the condition of a record is held to be important by collectors, the ideal example of a record to own, in the eyes of many collectors, would be one that has never been played at all. Because of this, collectors will often pay a huge premium for sealed, unopened examples of records they are seeking.

Parker's film version of "The Wall" won two BAFTA Awards, the British equivalent of the Academy Awards. 14.

Pursuing the World’s Most Exotic Animals 78 RPM Records are records that spin at a rate of 78 revolutions per minute. Amanda Petrusich and Chris King choose a few outstanding 78 RPM records from the period, which you can hear in the following playlist: “Last Kind Word Blues” by Geeshie Wiley; “Future Blues” by Willie Brown; “Devil Got My Woman” by Skip James; “Sur Le Borde de L’eau” by Blind Uncle Gaspard; “Guitar Rag” by Alexis Zoumbas; “Tzamara Arvanitiko” by Alexis Zoumbas; “Tzamara Arvanitiko” by Alexis Zoumbas; “Tzamara Arvani In this post, we’ll go over a number of factors that may determine the value of a particular record. Keep in mind that there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration, and it’s quite rare for a record to be valuable based on one factor alone. It’s usually a combination of things that add to a vinyl record’s value, and other factors can sometimes turn a valuable record into one that isn’t worth all that much seemingly overnight. Of the four original members of The Who — Roger Daltrey, John Entwisle, Keith Moon and Pete Townshend — only Daltrey and Townshend are still alive.

She also recalled what it was like to meet Travolta for the first time. “I do remember quite a bit, not everything, but it was a long time ago. I really can’t forget it,” she said. “Also, because I keep being reminded of the movie all the time and I talk about it so often, it stays fresh. In all honesty, it was like being at a normal school because I didn’t go to one like that. At my school, there was a uniform, the boys and the girls we kept separate and the environment was very different. In so many ways it was an experience I’d never had before. The film’s producer, Allan Carr, kind of created a party atmosphere with us all and encouraged us to hang out together. He’d come by every day and give us a pep talk and keep the energy up.” What was Olivia Newton-John’s net worth? Image: Charles Bush/Courtesy: Everett Collection. Parker directed other musicals, including "Fame" and "Evita," but he also made hard-hitting dramas based on true stories with "Midnight Express" and "Mississippi Burning." Never has Presley's story been given a big-budget treatment like what we'll get to see in 2022, when "Moulin Rouge" and "The Great Gatsby" director Baz Luhrmann's epic biopic "Elvis" is released on June 24, with up-and-coming star Austin Butler in the titular role and two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks playing Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' longtime manager. 28. Depeche Mode, "Music for the Masses" They can also be played on a turntable and are often used to evaluate the sound of a song or an album prior to putting it into formal production. While acetates can be played as one would play any regular record, they don’t wear particularly well and will become quite noisy after only a few plays. What goes around comes around, and we don’t just mean records on a turntable. Audiophiles swear by the sound quality of vinyl over CDs, MP3s, and other files, and now younger generations are starting to see the light. Vinyl sales continue to increase each year, which means that more and more young people are borrowing albums from their parents or buying their own, while those who grew up with them are perhaps dusting off their cherished collections.
