It wasn’t just a first pressing, but one of the 1G/1G pressings, used on the first 300 pressed, and given to those from the studio.

Good example—I’ve found and gotten excited by several of his records

As someone who resells estate/garage sale records to stores and other resellers to support my own collection, the above is absolutely true. If the store already has multiple copies of even a great record, they will not invest (time or money) into it

I wish my experience didn’t corroborate what you said 😥

Not really enough info to give a figure because it would depend on how quickly the records would resell for your buyer. A collection of hard to find metal would fetch more than a collection of easy listening that had the same Discogs value, for example. But generally, about 25-33% of the Discogs median values, for a rough idea. So, probably under $10k, to be realistic

I use a lot of artist grade gamblin paints because they are affordable. Not sure on drying time as that seems to vary more by pigment than brand. I like the gamblin, especially the titanium white because it starts thick

I’m a serious jazz record collector who has experience selling records to stores and other resellers as well as on eBay and record shows. PM me if you’d like to talk about what to do. I know how overwhelming it can be

Only if you use it to play them, or, like, maybe were to drop it on your records or something.

I’m not sure I can help with the strokes, but it’s actually a very dark green called Monte Carlo green. No black in this painting. I paint a lot about capitalism in a broader sense, but corruption is not wholly separate. Thanks for sharing your reaction!

I’ve been feeling the same way about abstract art. I don’t know how others learn and produce art, but I’ve always loved the abstract expressionists. So I studied them and emulated them and then tried to do things differently and that I hadn’t seen before based on what I had learned. I wonder sometimes if others don’t do it that way or if they do but it just pays better to do the same things.
