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

That's exactly it, thanks! Either way, I gots me a non-remastered version now so I'm good.

 

Congrats! My copy uses the same mastering that is on my West German DJM. That one does come in a fatboy.

 

Got Ski Surfin' by The Avalanches (Warner's 1963) for $1.25 at a thrift. Going to spin it before bed.

 

Joni Mitchell ~ Blue
The The ~ Soul Mining
CDs £1 each

 

Time to dance!

 

Lush-Scar EP. UK 4AD 12". Ebay for $14 shipped.

 

Found the following for $30 out the door:

Faces "A Nod..." LP US Green WB 1A/1C
Deep Purple "Made in Japan" UK Purple 2LP Pecko -1U (looks like a 1st press)
Stones "Get Yer Ya-Ya's" London West German CD
"The Best of Rainbow" UK Polydor 2 LP (includes a flyer for merchandise, such as a "Down to Earth" belt buckle for 4 quid)

 

After a quite week and a bit had a great weekend, mainly from a private seller at mainly $1 each.

 

Got these CDs today for $2 each:

Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection -- DJM, West Germany
Dire Straits - Brothers In Arms -- Vertigo/Polygram, West Germany -- This has an 824 499-2 03 matrix, and is unusual because it is mastered by John Dent rather than Bob Ludwig. Not sure how the masters differ except that the channels appear to be reversed.

Beatles '1' double vinyl with the four individual posters in it and the other poster with the singles covers, very good condition.

 

The Courier soundtrack by Elvis Costello (1988). I never heard of it either

 

I wasn't the first person, the second or even the third to get to the motherlode, but I still managed to find a lot of things that were actually on my wishlist. All for a dollar each.




The Collectors, Dylan, The Band and Midnight Cowboy Soundtrack are all early Canadian pressings.

 

Couldn't sleep last night, tossed & turned, got up early and hit the flea markets and thrift shops, and I've never been so glad to lose some sleep, wonderful day, my luck was ridiculous. Added to my collection immensely, and picked up some great trade bait too. My apologies for the long list, I went a little nuts!
