Which Exotica LP is most valuable? - Tiki Music

It looked fine when I pulled it out of the sleeve but my jaw dropped as I watched it separate into two pieces on my turntable. Must have had a hairline crack in it. I confess to using a substitute CDr burn that I traded for with another collector. BUT! That's only until I get a real copy of my own! I did manage to land a copy of the Conrad LP which I consider a puzzle. It may be hard to find, but it's disappointing musically. I remember paying $100 for les Baxter's "Sacred Idol" at Footlight Records a looong time ago. But I think a lot of these can be picked up for a lot less these days. Prices dropped when the "lounge" craze lost it's footing. This is probably a good time to be buying Exotica vinyl. A lot of it has been dug up and the prices have dropped after supply surpassed demand. -Jack
