Roger Waters Amused to Death LP what is it worth$


LP and not CD

I was wondering where one can get this LP, and how much is a mint copy worth in US dollards?

I think there was only European/Dutch copys ever made, not sure how many were made.

Also, are they Audiophile vinyl quality?

thanks

A friend of mine bought a sealed copy last year from a collector, I don't know what he paid.

I have two copies, one I play and one is sealed as backup. I bought both when this LP was released in 1992. The cover on both my copies have a sticker on the shrink that reads:

Limited Edition 2 Album Vinyl Set Mastered Direct to Lacquer from Original Analog Tapes.

Both are marked "Made in England" I don't see anything in the art work that specifies how many pressings constitute "Limited Edition."

It's an extremely quiet pressing and very dynamic. I like Pink Floyd and Roger Waters, so this is an important LP for me personally. Funny thing is, when I bought these they cost $24.95 each and one of my friends thought I was crazy to spend so much money, especially for the back up copy.
I can't answer that Macalan25. I've only heard the UK version that I have open. As I said in my response, it's a cut above in quality when compared to the mass of rock and roll albums on the market.

As for price, it's worth whatever you think it's worth. I would not sell mine for the $325.00 that Ebay fetched. It's not that I think mine is special , just that I like it a lot and don't want to loose it.

I have an original Beatles Butcher Block with the shrink still on it. I'm told it's worth $1000.00 or more. Problem is I could spend that money and never know where it went. The memories of leaving school and finding that Beatles LP that day would be ruined if it were gone.
Mary,

Just posting here you should get offers for it. I don't need three copies but there are a lot of people with no copies that would like to have one.

and this thread only helps to reinforce why i can't afford to get into vinyl. Sure, i could buy an awesome turntable/tonearm/cart and phono pre, but once i had to start buying albums..... :(

There have been many threads at Audiogon where people discuss paying $200.00, $300.00 and more for CD's or SACD's. When a particular piece of software is rare and difficult to find, the price gets inflated.

Don't let the price of one LP discourage you. For every $300.00 LP, there are tens of thousands for .25 cents to five bucks.
