Holy cow. July 1967 4000 MG, mint. $18,495 BIN

Crazy rare and drop-dead gorgeous. Neck-thru and no neck pickup rout. Take my kidney and send me this one.

1998 4003S/5 WHT/BT.  $5,639 BIN

From Japan. Strung EADGC so possibly had less tension on the neck than other S/5's. Original pickup included. Some stand-related discoloration but looks to be in great condition.

The best Thin Lizzy album were middle albums (as far as I'm concerned).
Done over a period of just two years.

Jaibreak (1976)
Johnny The Fox (1976)
Bad Reputation (1977)
Live and Dangerous (1978)

Deep Purple obviously. It was all downhill after Rod Evans and Nicky Simper left.  :vader:

Where's #3?  :)

I don't know enough about Muse or the Allmans, but agree on the rest.

Off the top of my head, Violent Femmes self-titled debut is far above any since.

I posted that around 3 in the morning and counting correctly was a little beyond me at that time.  Plus, a lot of fatigue going on.  I remember thinking of not numbering at all.  Ultimately, I did but not very well. 

I think a lot of Americans don't know much about Muse.  I got interested in them in late 2004 while watching the "Hysteria" video on TV.  But I remember asking about their CDs in a store.  The clerk had never heard of them and asked me if that was some kind of 80s band.  Muse's reputation, though, some deserved and some undeserved has been tarnished a lot through the years.  Letting their music be used for those vampire movies was one of the worst things.  It shifted a lot of their audience to teenage girls--at least for a while.
