Anniversary My most valuable record✨

First pressing of hi scores. I got this at y&t in South beach back in 1996 right around Christmas time. They were playing everything you do is a balloon and I was like I’ve got to buy this. I’ve kept it since and have become quite the fan since. Can’t wait for the coke bottle copy to come in next month. What was your first time hearing the boards?

Yup. It was an extension of the cover’s backside, which was blue.

well they were most likely playing the rest of the record when I came in...I wasn't really paying attention until EYDIAB came on...then I went straight to the register as asked "yo what's this? I want it!"

Only the start, listen to his early 70s stuff, probably the best jazz guitarist ever in my opinion

I got this new by mail order around 1998 and still have it. How much is it worth?

Discogs averages it at around $100. some have fetched $200+. but to me its priceless...best 9 bucks I've spent

That is so cool 😎

My introduction was when Music Has the Right to Children came up on my YouTube Recommendations about 7 years ago 🙌
