How's your luck been in the used bins lately? (pt9)

My Bloody Valentine "When You Sleep" cd single promo $1
Non Serviam "Parasaurolophus" I have not found out anything about these guys. They are not same as death metal band. Can anyone shed some light? $1

 

There was a record fair here in Edinburgh yesterday so i wandered down for a rummage and picked up the following. I had both the Maiden and Pistols LPs once upon a time but somehow mislaid them... Both were pretty trashed anyway – I got the Maiden when i was about 10 years old and played it to death on an old Fidelity mono turntable - the one like a little red suitcase!

Anyway, the Maiden was a tenner and the others were £5 each. The Warriors is in great condition and sounds amazing - really jumps out the speakers. The rest all needed a clean but after that sounded great as well with no clicks or pops. The Pistols is V2086 with the blue labels. Well chuffed!

 

Found this not long ago, Balinese music recorded on site in the early 70s.
The record is fairly close, in some ways, to the "Golden Rain" Nonesuch LP more familiar to American audiences : there's a bit of Ketjak (the monkey dance) in there, but the gamelan music proper is very different. This isn't the virtuoso 20th century Kebyar style invented to astonish the tourists, but the slower, ceremonial music. Amazing stuff. Sounds great too.
There's also a gatefold with liner notes (folk tales about witches are included !) and drawings of the instruments. The engineer talks about crossing the island on bicycle at the night and hearing music from afar as his compass. Love for the people and culture of Bali is evident throughout. Great find, this.

Picked up this CD yesterday :

Santana - 3 , Columbia CD 32058, 3 euros ;-)

To my ears this one sounds pretty good.

 

All in mint condition on the Apple Label. WOA and Led Zep IV also mint. $10 each.

 

Here's the rest I picked up this weekend.

 

Scored Nine Inch Nails - Broken for $50
This was complete with mint jacket, sleeve, 12" and 7" (very rare)

 

Man, I'm gonna have to take inventory and see if you and xdawg have been pilfering my records...so many great titles you have there. Congrats.

 

I'll say. It caught me by surprise. The place I buy from usually prices the gold discs as their silver counterparts.

 

Picked up a few from Steve Miller, and a rare one "Hoover".

 

Average price was 3 dollars.

I have soooo many of those old original press cds from the rock metal genre of the 90s. Im wondering what its worth now

 

One of the local stores is having a "Sidewalk Sale". Just happened to catch it the first day.

Spent a couple of hours sorting through numerous boxes of 45's. I ended up walking out with 39 records. Most were a bit dusty but all in excellent or better condition. I felt pretty good thinking they were only $.50 each...I felt even better when the owner told me the new sign wasn't up and they were 3 for a $1.

I'll be going back.

 

Found a mint WLP of Moondance. 1A/1A stampers. Best sounding copy I've ever heard.

 

Nice, I didnt know there was an early pressing of this. How does it sound? This album needs a remix for sure. Damn I want one.

 

Hit some local spots yesterday;



Oops, forgot one;



The Barry Lyndon is Japanese pressed. Gruppo Sportivo has an EP also. There is an extra picture sleeve for the EP in the album jacket. If anybody wants it let me know. The Roy Wood had some bizarre "protection art" whereby someone carefully cut the shrink wrap and then taped it to the cover all around. The outer cover was unaffected but the inside gatefold has tape residue all around the edges. Since whoever did this at least preserved the sticker I used a blow-dryer to separate it from the shrink and glued it on the cover.

 

I didn't get a chance to listen yet (work, kids). I'll wake up the neighbourhood tomorrow morning .

 

Found a briefcase type of cassette carrying case and a smaller plastic carrying case with cassettes at a yard sale, full of original prerecorded cassettes: Beatles, Lennon, Harrison, Floyd, Tull, KISS, Neil Young, Dylan, Moody Blues, others.

Tons of good music, all for $1.00. So far, all play beautifully!

Also, on vacation last week, I found an original pressing of The Beatles Song Book on Capitol in a Goodwill shop in Fell's Point, Md. $1.00 for that, too!

 

On CD:
Altan/Blackwater
Midnight Oil/Blue Sky Mining
Youssou N'Dour/The Guide
Michael Brook/Cobalt Blue
Phil Collins/Hits
INXS/Live Baby Live
Everything But the Girl/Like the Deserts Miss the Rain (EU pressing)

All for $3!

 

John Cale - Music for a New Society (Yellow Moon YM 003 CD)

£2.99 from the British Heart Foundation. Would be nicer with a pic, but my internet is lousy.
