I know this disc is “rare”, but…

While searching to try (in vain) to find a copy of an old 7″ from a local band in my high school days, I discovered some donkey selling Chimark’s Fifteen Fingered Man EP via the Amazon Marketplace for $100.

I realize there are probably no more than a couple thousand copies of this disc at most, because they were a local band from Cape Cod who released their own records/CDs and weren’t, you know, all that big. I mean, they were popular on the Cape, but that doesn’t necessarily translate into multiplatinum status. But seriously, a hundred bucks?

A quick google search for the album title does turn up a couple of distros in Japan with copies selling for 1380 Yen, or $13.12 by today’s exchange rate.

Maybe the price is inflated because a copy is in the Cape Cod Times Capsule.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Lots of detailed commentary on that one. I guess I struck a nerve.

The band you’re trying to find wouldn’t be Duke & The Drivers, would it? Just a guess tainted by my own teenage likes :-)

No, it’s Chilmark. I mentioned them a couple of times. :)
