What's the best score you've ever had on a Steve Hoffman recording

[Dave]

Mine has got to be Bob Dylan: Hi-way 61 Revisited for approx. $6.50 US. in absolute perfect shape.:D

Now Steve we know that you get the best deals of all.;)

[PsychFan]

That's pretty impressive!

Mine would be the DCC LP, open but mint, of CCR's Willy and the Poor Boys, which I found in a used-record shop for $12.

It's worth a whole lot more than that to me, I can tell you ...

Otherwise, I got some pretty cool deals on some cutout DCC jazz gold CDs at MusicforaSong.com. I think I got four of 'em in one order (The Musings of Miles and The New Miles Davis Quintet by Mr. Davis, Sonny Rollins' Tenor Madness, and a live Wes Montgomery) for $14 each ... maybe less, I can't remember.

There is also, of course, the MCA Who's Next CD for under $10 from HMV.ca ... but that's not an unusual one ... Never got one for as low as $6.50!

[Holy Zoo]

Red Rose Speedway, $6.99 used at Compact Disc Warehouse in Sunnyvale. Whoo-hoo!

[Dave]

Actually Jeff it was also my first intrduction to Steve's work as well.
I just happened to open it and low and behold a gold cd. "Wow! I gotta get this".

I had already purchased MFSL's The Wall and Dark Side so I was some what familiar with the gold cd format but I had never heard of DCC before so I thought hey, it can't hurt to give this label an audition and needless to say I've been scrounging for alot of the titles ever since.:rolleyes:

[Ronflugelguy]

I'll second musicforasong. I got seven DCC jazz titles for only around $80 to my door!!!!

[Andrew]

I was surprised to find my copy of the first Doors CD for only $14 (sealed) at Streetlight Records in SF. Too bad they didn't have "Strange Days" there too that day!

[jligon]

All of my great deals were before I realized what a great label DCC was. I picked up Lost & Found at a PharMor drug store for $3.99. I got both of Ray Charles' Greatest Hits for $5 each but stupidly passed up McCartney's first album at a outlet mall CD shop for $9.99.
Recently, I happily picked up a sealed copy of Pet Sounds for $24.99.

[vinylrec]

The "Ringo" & "Venus and Mars" gold CD's for $8.99 each at CD Warehouse....

[MikeP]

Elvis 24 Karat Hits CD. $13.50 mint but not sealed at a flea market in Berlin.

[Andrew]

That vinylrec avatar is the bomb! :D

[aceman400]

My Best Score was two weeks ago, all four Doors Titles for $7.99
each (3 didn't have the slipcases but so what!). I also scored Belafonte Jump Up Calypso for $2.00 at a Garage Sale.

[ED in NY]

In the past month...

All 3 Ray Charles Gold Discs for $15 each; still sealed.

People, if you find these...get them they're incredible.

Best - ED

When CD's hit I was in a NYC record store and all their half speed and 45 RPM lp's were marked down below the cost of the regular lp issues. I picked up a bunch for about $4.50 a pop. If anyone has HW-61 they want to give or sell to me.:D

[Kayaker]

I've picked up about 10 great DCC Hoffmanized gold Jazz CD over the past few months for $9.99 at www.musicforasong.com. Best was Art Peper Intensity for $4.99.
Sale is still on - just click on "Music" in the pull down menu, then "Music" (on the left column) then "Gold". Shipping is $1.99 per order (not per CD). Never had a problem with them.
CCR Pendelum is still there for $14.99.
I want to thank the person who originally posted this info in the DCC forum last year.

[Holy Zoo]

Holy Shnikeys! CCR Pendulum for $15! Get it, get it while it's hot!!

One of the members of the dcc board sold me aound 10 titles for about $250. They included Ringo, Hwy 61,Ram,Orbison, etc. They were all in great condition and helped me get a jump building my collection.

Most of mine I've had for years and don't remember what I paid but a few weeks ago I found a used copy of the Mama's and the Papas 16 Greatest Hits for $8.
BTW how much did a vinyl copy of "Buddy Holly:For the First Time Anywhere" (my first Hoffman) go for in 1983? Probably not more than $ 8.99.

[David]

All DCC reissue of Nat King Cole and Elvis 24 Karat Hits....but the price so expensive in the market now.:p

[Paul Chang]

I think I got everybody beat!

The gold disc:
ELVIS - 24 KARAT HITS! $0 :)

The catch:
I got suckered into paying one hundred and some $US to become a "life time" (a short one) subscriber to "The Tracking Angle" when my subscription still had more than one year left. :(

I still haven't seen an issue of "Sound & Vision" Michael Fremer tried to transfer TVA subscription to, not that I want to read that rag, hem, mag. :mad:

To look at the brighter side, I can't do any worse than this with any other DCC purchase. ;)

[Michael]

Well...Out of the 30+ Gold DCC cds I own. I pretty much paid the price NO real bargains. No matter what, they are WORTH the PRICE!

[Highway Star]

Just picked up my best DCC score tonight, The Everly Brothers Best at $22.49 Not too bad for one of these still sealed. Probably woulda been $25 on ebay;)

[Steve Hoffman]

Hey Tele,

Be sure to check out "Let It Be Me" on the Everly disc. "Breath of life" in spades, eh?

[Highway Star]

Will do Steve, I've got the tubes on the RM-9 warming up now!
