LP pricing help

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello!
I have recently acquired a copy of Emerson Lake and Palmers LP 'Tarkus'
I was told when I bought it that it was worth something because it was produced by Island Discs and has a pink rim around the label. I will attach a link to photos Here
If someone could give me price range it would be most appreciated, I intend to keep but am just making sure my Father won't sell it (I'm not a basement dweller, I'm 15)

Thanks
Patrick

	If you check the sold listings on Ebay the price range is quite wide, roughly £5-£40. I'd say anything above £20 is overpriced unless it's in mint condition. It's the first pressing but not particularly rare.

	If it's in good condition that will go for about $40 (US). Not sure what that translates to in terms of the pound. There are a lot of copies of Tarkus out there but some collectors are crazy about original Islands.

	Check it out at the site called Discogs. It’s an amazing database.

	Here below on the Discogs site are 29 currently listed Tarkus original UK Island releases ranging from 9 pound to 235 Euro. https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/7768308?ev=rb Yours maybe worth somewhere in between those 2!
