Question
Hi Mike

I have a vinyl copy of the 1977 tour called "Destroyer", which is a four LP set and also a double album from the 1979 Copenhagen warm ups called "In The Evening". Have you any idea what these might fetch intoday's market - they are both in execellent condition - I have only played them half a dozen times.

Many thanks

Answer
Hi Paul
There are many vinyl printings and releases of the Destroyer show (Cleveland, April 27, 1977) and it would be hard to immediately tell you what that would be worth without further details.  Some of the rarer "old school" releases of Destroyer are valuable but I'd need to know label information about it.  At the very least, Destroyer albums get around $75 when the packaging is intact and in good shape.  Rarer releases go for much more but again, more information about the label and manufacturer would be required.
If the packaging is in good shape with that Copenhagen show, I've seen it go for $80 a while back.  It was near mint, however.
