Sold! For $9,000.
just...what the fuck , i didnt know that savatage was so profitable hehhe
Yeah, what the fuck, is the yellow colour because it's made of solid gold? Elvis or The Beatles sure, but I didn't imagine even Metallica rarities could demand such prices.
Savatage have extremely dedicated fans. I myself own everything they've ever put out on CD. There may not be *many* fans, but they sure are loyal - the majority of the crowd at the Jon Oliva's Pain gig I went to a couple of months ago was 35+ age-wise.
In terms of collectibles, that yellow Avatar LP is
the rarest Savatage-related thing you can own, bar none. I'd only heard rumours of it myself, I wasn't even sure it actually existed.
I still couldn't justify paying the equivalent of a decent second-hand car on an LP I'd never play though

that is totally true, mostly because savatage was pretty underated at his time, some people believe his guitarrist Chris Caffery was a pioneer. but i never heard of this, the most rare thing related to savatage was a bootleg concert i dont remember the name right now.
You might be thinking of Criss Oliva - the singer's brother. Chris Caffrey is good but Criss was the real trailblazer. He was undoubtedly in my eyes one of the greatest guitar players in metal, ever, definitely one of my favourites. Think Dimebag but with more delicacy and nuance. He was killed in a car accident in 1993 and the band was never the same since... they had a lot of lineup changes, all of them being amazing musicians and put out some brilliant records but it was never quite there.
Their music is just... amazing.

Still not worth $9k though
