$500 or More – Hawthorne Radio 11 Listen Here iTunes MixCloud Spotify Google Play SoundCloud TuneIn Most “rare” and expensive records are a rip-off in my personal opinion. There’s usually a reason they’re rare (they weren’t that good so they didn’t sell). However, there are a handful of rare records that are truly worth the extravagant prices they fetch. All of the records on this episode have sold for $500+. (Disclaimer: I do not own copies of ALL of these but I wish I did!) This episode best enjoyed with a glass of fine wine or champagne.

This is by no means a diss to those services (I love them both and use them all the time), but merely a reminder of how much incredible music is still not available digitally.
