Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew the value on this rare record. Anyways, I currently have it up for auction on ebay here:

I would say that it doesn't have a very high value as it's obviously a ROIO...and considering how easy it is for one to make a CD of Pompeii on their own, I'd say it's worth even less.

It's not a obviously a ROIO. In fact it's not one at all. It was released on Edgard Rubabande records in 1986 (DAGO 523). Is there anyone more knowledgable out there with a value?

I think Ebay keeps changing the link, so if this link doesn't work try searching under pompeii record

It's definitely a RoIO. It was released without Pink Floyd's consent. It's not an official release, so most would call it a b**tleg, but RoIO sounds much nicer

It would still have some value, as it's an original LP, but I don't know what its value would be.

I have a copy of the "Goldmine Record Album Price Guide" (the industry standard reference for vinyl values as far as I am aware of) and it has no mention of this LP. However, I noticed that this book is severely incomplete for Pink Floyd releases so that doesn't mean that it isn't official (whether it really is or not, I don't know... even b**tleggers can create their own catalog numbers and labels to make it look official). I suppose the best way to determine its value, if there is no other "official" reference where you could look up this information, is that it is only as valuable as what people are willing to pay for it.

I looked in "The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia" and it's not listed at all. The only mention of Pompeii is the "Live at Pompeii" movie. There are tons of different bootlegs made by different record companies of the same material. Would I like to see it officially released? Of course. That's the first place I heard Echoes and it's still my favorite version to this day.

Definitely the best version.

I don't know much aboot bootlegs, but, theoretically, there'll be a huge increase in 'bootlegs' when the DVD comes out because of the improved audio. I'm certainly going to dub off a copy.

By the way, did anyone in Britain see South Park last night? Cartman said 'Ha, ha, charade you are'. Brilliant.

I'll give you $2.50 for it

I saw that south park ages ago (it's the one with cartman's cat doing... well stuff, yeah?) and noticed the line. Although i just presumed it was a coincidence.
