“We’re all in this together.” This sentence applies to whenever you did one of those group essays back in high-school – you should be annoyed by those memories already if you were the one who always did everything – or when speaking about the shared passion of the Discogs community in building the largest physical-music […]
Punk in Spain was rather an anomaly. Great Britain was headbanging to the Sex Pistols and The Clash in 1977, Spain would follow soon amidst the instability of the so-called Transition (La Transición).

With 15 records above the $2,000 price tag and four (!) above $6,000, this is one of the most active months for loaded collectors that comes to mind.
