Some dude dropped more than $6,000 on a rare record. Was it you? For Pete’s sake, WHY??<\/p>\n

The Vinyl Factory<\/a> has an excellent article about the most expensive item ever sold on Discogs. The item in question? A shelved early version of Judge<\/strong>‘s Bringin’ It Down<\/em> titled Chung King Can Suck It<\/em>. For those unfamiliar, Discogs is an online marketplace for disgusting vinyl nerds to buy and sell their records. I use it often.<\/p>\n

Let me break down (eh, eh?) the story of Chung King Can Suck It<\/em> from the POV of Mike “Judge” Ferraro:<\/p>\n

>Be Mike Judge<\/span>
\n>Not the Beavis and Butthead guy. The straightedge hardcore one.<\/span>
\n>Be in up and coming NYHC band that will one day be legends of the genre. <\/span>

\n>Release debut 7″ New York Crew<\/em> and folks dig it. <\/span>
\n>Go to record first full-length at Chung King Studios.<\/span>
\n>Dang it. The Beastie Boys<\/strong>, Run DMC<\/strong>, & LL Cool J<\/strong> have booked the three best studios. <\/span>
\n>Have to use the remaining crappy one.<\/span>
\n>Recording engineer is a dipshit cokehead who has apparently never heard of punk. <\/span>
\n>Album sounds like fuck. <\/span>
\n>Want to throw it away and try again but Revelation Records bossman Jordan Cooper says we have to print 100 of these turds to fulfill pre-orders.<\/span>
\n>Title the record Chung King Can Suck It<\/em>, cuz they can suck it.<\/span>

\n>25 years later the Internet exists. <\/span>
\n>Some nerd spends $6,600 on Chung King Can Suck It<\/em> on ebay.<\/span>
\n>Some other nerd sets the record for most expensive purchase on Discogs by dropping $6,048 for that crappy album.<\/span>
\n>mfw this ignorance has got to be stopped.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chung King Can Suck It<\/em> really does sound like shit. If you’re curious, spend $6K+ to pick up the vinyl so you can hear it. Or you can pick up one of the many bootlegs and\/or repressings of the album. Oh, wait, what’s that? Apparently you can also listen to music from your computer nowadays. Crazy.<\/p>\n
