Stark Reality's New High?
Seems like the current price for a decent copy of Stark Reality is slowly creeping towards a grand. Never thought $400 would seem like a steal.

Nah. Just a bunch of dudes gripping. I mean, this record turns up for sale more frequently than some records that go for 1/10 the price.

I recall having the opportunity to buy for $350, at Carrarra's house back in the 90s... of course I was a broke student digger who couldn't afford such lavishness... but if it was going for a cool grand at roosevelt wouldn't a dude like JC want a bit more for it?

there are only so many people gonna pay $1000 for any record. catch the right person at the right time and there it is bam another def jam. dealer knows a broke student digger ain't gonna pay but so much, but let some bigtime producer dude with deep pockets come up to the crib slobbering for that stark reality... price will change dramatically, get me? you know the game. reliable sources tell me a certain well known producer paid over $1000 for one copy and close to $1000 for another it is all a part of that roosevelt record show era folklore that is known to many real cats holla at a real cat

Re: Stark Reality's New High?
Stark Reality is one of my top favorites to listen to. I like the LP as a whole for its melodies, distorted singing and psych vibes, but I have strange tastes in music. I still don't think its a $1000 LP, that is unless the great Monty Stark himself delivers the LP to your door the very next day and offers to clean your house for free as you play the record.

Re: Stark Reality's New High?
Maybe this has been asked a million times, but how many SR were originally pressed?
I did a "search" but didn't find the answer.
Thanks.

yup. i had some heavy offers for one of my copies of SR back in those days... none quite reaching $1000 but definitely well above $400. i think $750 was the highest offer i got. i just couldn't bear to part with it at ANY price though

You want my copy of East New York Ensemble of Music "At the Helm"? If not, I also have several babies of varying races/ethnicities that are up for grabs. And of course taxidermy.

I found out about Stark Reality at the Roosevelt Record Show in 1992, It was on this dealer's wall with a $300 price tag and headz just stood around it just looking at the LP in suspense (keep in mind, nobody at that time knew what the thing even sounded like... it was all by word of mouth). Saw it in a Goldmine magazine in 1995 for $400 but passed on it. In 1999 saw this guy from the Netherlands auction a mint copy on this record web site where I placed a bid and won the copy for $230. In 2004 I also brought the CD so I can play it in my car. I play the CD usually every 2 weeks (the LP is stashed somewhere in one of my crates).

Saying jonny you need to be happy with your $120 lovelights lp and let the ballers ball.
That said although this raer is a collectors item to the fullest I have been quoting dudes around 1,000 for my copy and gotten a few laughs...
I also found mine in minnesota, same as where the seller is from, what's up monty you got a big following in the land of 10,000 lakes?

This record is amazing for the sole fact that it seems like anytime anyone brings it up, the thread soon spreads like wildfire into a solid 4-pager, minimum.
