Nuggets

Yes, I got Nuggets today! I finally found it buried deep in a lot I could afford. 40 tapes, mostly country, for $20 including the shipping and I got a few other cool items. Besides Nuggets, which people have been paying $20 for by itself, I got:
John Entwistle - Whistle Rymes - Track Records/Decca/MCA - 1972
The Best of Creedence Clearwater Revival - 20 Super Hits - K-Tel - 1978
Dr. John - Desitively Bonaroo - Atlantic/ Atco - 1974
The Guess Who - S/T - cool looking pirate? by Damont Records and Tapes distributed by Peerless Vid-Tronic Corp. (I just love that name.) It has a really cheesey cover drawing of Randy Bachman.
*Cheap Trick - Heaven Tonight and In Color
*Eric Clapton - Backless - RS0 - 1974
*Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Head On
*K-Tel - Disco Fire tape 1 & 2
*K-Tel - Out of Sight
*K-Tel - Music Power (Canadian)
*Adam VIII - Disco Party
*Discomania 2 - As seen on TV - (Canadian)
*Ronco - Star Time - 1979

I notice Ronco lists its address as Elk Grove, Ill. Anyone know if they were related to Ampex? Items with an * are things I think I have doubles of now, if you're interested.

Why does everyone want Nuggets so bad?

Prog. 1
I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night)- Electric Prunes

Night Time - The Strangeloves
Lies - The Knickerbockers
Respect - The Vagrants
A Public Execution - Mouse
No Time Like the Right Time - The Blues Project

So how many of these bands can you even get albums from on 8-track? I Have The Blues Project, The Blues Magoos, The Strangeloves and The Third Rail. I've seen The Seeds and The Thirteenth Floor Elevators and The Shadows of Knight and maybe the Electric Prunes? on eBay for a lot of money. My friend George said he got the Cryan Shames and the Knickerbockers on 4-track.
