Hello!

I have recently acquired a copy of Emerson Lake and Palmers LP 'Tarkus'

I was told when I bought it that it was worth something because it was produced by Island Discs and has a pink rim around the label. I will attach a link to photos http://https://www.flickr.com/photos/137820138@N05/albums/72157687775348791" rel="nofollow - Here

If someone could give me price range it would be most appreciated, I intend to keep but am just making sure my Father won't sell it (I'm not a basement dweller, I'm 15)

Thanks

Patrick

If you check the sold listings on Ebay the price range is quite wide, roughly £5-£40. I'd say anything above £20 is overpriced unless it's in mint condition. It's the first pressing but not particularly rare.

If it's in good condition that will go for about $40 (US). Not sure what that translates to in terms of the pound. There are a lot of copies of Tarkus out there but some collectors are crazy about original Islands.

Check it out at the site called Discogs. It’s an amazing database.

Yours maybe worth somewhere in between those 2!
