Pocahaunted fans rejoice as gramscustomnudie sells Vol. 3 Issue 1 featuring Pocahaunted on the cover. This issue was the first issue of our format change and a very rare one. I don’t even think we have an issue in the office. Click to look at gramscustomnudie’s auction.

The last time we were on ebay somebody sold one of our Vol 1 issues featuring Giant Drag for $100.

After learning of the colossal value of vintage L.A. RECORDs—double-digits!—veteran writer SOC (who may be our longest-lasting contributor) sent us this photo of his million-dollar L.A. RECORD stash. We hope we will still be invited to the mansion if he ever sells these—for old times’ sake…

EARLIER: “EXTREMELY RARE” L.A. RECORD ON EBAY

(from Hearts and Unicorns on Kickball)

Annie from Giant Drag is auctioning off their issue, which is Vol. 1 No. 16 (Nov. 2005 or so?) and the winner in that year’s reader poll for best cover, narrowly beating Busdriver as Elvis Costello. This is the first actual L.A. RECORD we have seen on eBay! Despite what Annie says below, we can confirm that—after two studio floods and two or three archive relocations—that it is definitely fair to call these “extremely rare.” If you are curious, the rarest (as far as we can tell) issues are the Grabs (Vol. 1 No. 11) and Bad Dudes (Vol. 1 No. 4) but it’s been a long time since any of these were even around so honestly they’re all probably scarce. And if you have a complete run of all 75 poster issues you are in a very very exclusive club.

This is a Poster from a Los Angeles magazine type thing. It’s called LA Record and basically the cover is a band doing a reproduction of an album cover. This one is us (Giant Drag) doing the cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” and on the back side there are a few more pictures of us and an interview. I had to scour my apartment to find this because I thought I only had one copy and I didn’t want to give it away because it’s so cool. It can be framed to look all nice and stuff, or not. It does have a fold mark as it comes out as a magazine and opens into a poster but it can be flattened out. you can go to LARecord.com to learn more about what this publication is if you’re interested, it’s pretty cool. Our cover got voted as the best one for some competition they had. This comes with a Giant Drag Sticker and Autographed Press Photo and can be personally Autographed upon request. Thanks for shopping at the official Giant Drag Ebay Store! xo Annie P.S. the shipping is more expensive since it’s in one of those special poster round package thingies. if you don’t mind it to be folded (you can flatten it at home) then let me know and I will make the invoice so it’s much cheaper. P.P.S. i just found a couple more of these in the corner of my apartment. Lucky day! so I guess they’re just pretty rare, but not extremely rare. sorry about that.
