While many claim "This Is Spinal Tap" as the greatest all-time non-concert rock and roll film for good reason, I'd give the crown to "Beyond The Valley of the Dolls." Directed by Russ Meyer and written by Roger Ebert and released by 20th Century Fox in 1970, this one can't be beat for sex, violence, rock and roll, and hilariously absurd dialogue. The soundtrack and the film feature the Strawberry Alarm Clock with future Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist Ed King in the lineup and lots of great music besides.
This is an original LP in excellent condition. I'd been looking for this for years when Great Plains (a great garage rock outfit from Columbus, Ohio) keyboardist Mark Wyatt very kindly gave me one of his two copies back in 1989.
Thank you for giving your Vintage Vinyl more Value through your story. Albums, just like you have posted should be priced for several hundred dollars
on the market.
Unfortunately Vintage vinyl traders are now directly competing with Multi media
Conglomerates who are producing duplicates of vintage vinyl with added on bells and whistles in order to control the market. These re-issued, easily obtained copies should be priced less than original first issue copies, but the market does not reflect this.
I hope you continue to educate the public about why vinyl should be valued beyond
what popular culture dictates.
