I am the insane person who paid all that money for the Fugitives record, but sometimes you see something you just gotta have!!
I'll have to sell my 1957 Mickey Mantle baseball card to pay for it.
Jim, that's amazing. Is that the most you've ever paid for a record?
Posted by: Jake at June 30, 2004 07:23 AMYes, this is by far the most I've ever paid for a 69 cent piece of plastic - twice as much as I paid for my first car!!
The prices for Fenton releases have gone out of sight! I first discovered this great label in 1979, when at a record show in Detroit I bought 2 Pedestrians singles on a whim for $1 a piece. Also paid the same price for a Tonto & the Renegades single. Lost interest until a few years ago when comps started coming out, and now I'm paying for it. Wish someone would get ahold of the master tapes and put out a definately comp of the label - like Aris did with the Soulbenders or Tom did with T & TR.
There were a lot of great bands from my area (Saginaw), but Grand Rapids area bands are what Michigan garage is all about!!
