So I found Love An Adventure - just recently as above scan shows, also came across Mondo Rock Up to the Moment (West German) and Chemistry (Japan) this now makes around 37-39 early Aussie albums pressed in either West Germany or Japan. Still after most of AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, 1x Divinyls, 1 x Angels, 1x Dragon, 1x Paul Kelly and a few others. The thrill of the chase keeps me going!!

hired goon Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I found some target CDs today (Van Morrison - Moondance, Rod Stewart - Body Wishes, Rod Stewart - Atlantic Crossing) but these appear to be ex-ABC radio stock as someone has written "ABC Q" on the CDs in permanent marker Got 'em for $1 each just for a listen. It's a shame that they have been defaced. Someone has tried to remove the permanent marker on the Atlantic Crossing CD and rubbed off some of the paintwork in the process. --Geoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not yet found any AC/DC Japan for Oz CDs in the wild, lo these many years. But I live in hope. --Geoff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondie Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) There was sombody who posted in this thread quite early on who found two on the same day! Not seen any other reports since, they must have been made in pretty small numbers for you to have not stumbled onto one in all your CD searching Geoff. Edit: and I see Craig found one in the post at the top of this page Edited June 17, 2019 by mondie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyflip Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I found 4 ACca Daccas at once in a local garage sale a few months back - but the seller had been on Discogs and decided they were all $60 each (even though in pretty terrible, scratched up, well-played condition). Left 'em... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondie Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Many people fail to appreciate the sharp difference in value based on condition, this is apparent in many record stores overpricing used vinyl from sought after artists in tatty condition. If they were heavily scratched $60ea would have been possibly too much especially from a private seller at a garage sale. I am chasing down the Albert first pressing records I dont have from AC/DC's Bon days, the price variance on these can be 5-10 fold depending on condition. Near Mint are rare and valuable, and probably better than money in the bank with the bonus that they sound fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
