Just picked up Televisions Adventure on red vinyl today for £10....plays almost ex, despite its great age, am thrilled! This record, had you never heard the first album, would blow you away...had you never heard the first album.

 

I came home from our Portland - Seattle trip with twenty or so albums. Totally drew a blank at Jive Time in Seattle. Once again Crossroads in PDX gave up a few gems. The new shop on Mississippi also yielded three keepers. Just now reorganizing my album shelves to make some more room. I cracked open the boxes I have in deep storage to see what I could put back out in the main library.. a few nice things turned up. Now to cull the main stacks. My wife doesn't think I have too many records... or guitars. That's a nice wife.

 

You might get lucky and score a sleeve, and lyric sheet. Watch out for the "dint" vs "dirt. great score

 

It's been very very very good. Great finds for $2 and under each !

 

I went to a church sale once and found a Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks LP among all the Mormon Tabernacle Choir stuff ... no idea how it get into that lot

Coincidenticalistically, this morning I picked up a Marquee Moon LP for $1 ...

--Geoff

 

I have this one. It generally goes for around $50.00 in collectors' circles. Condition of the vinyl and cover of your copy looks VG+. You may just want to keep it, though.

 

The Bobby Darin Story
Living Together, Growing Together - 5th Dimension
Stormy Weekend - Mystic Moods Orchestra
Goodnight My Love and Other Rhapsodies for Young Lovers - Midnight String Quartet
($1.00 each)

 

Hit a small Grateful Dead grail the other week at Salvation. "For Dead Heads Only", a 1978 live boot on 3 LPs. They wanted $2 per LP, nice poly sleeves, no cover. These things go for $100 w cover. Very grateful! Haha

 

More CDs today:

David Johansen - Live It Up
Jethro Tull - "M.U" - The Best of Jethro Tull
Jethro Tull - "Repeat" - The Best of Jethro Tull, Vol. II

All three had been marked down and put on the discount table at one of my usual haunts. Just $2.00 each. While I have several other Tull comps and box sets, I'd never owned these two on CD. Since they were the first two vinyl Tull comps I owned as a teen (not counting Living In The Past as a comp), I was happy to add them to the CD library. The Johansen I picked because I recorded him (on cassette) doing several of these songs on the King Biscuit Flour Hour in the early 80s and remember thinking he was a particularly good live act. I don't think I ever bought this on vinyl, and the actual King Biscuit show is hard to find now.

I got one of these today for $7.99 gatefold is VG+ vinyl is NM, RAH show songs !
Also got Bare Trees from FM $8.99

 

The entire lot for $40. How'd I do?

 

There was a large cache of late 80's-early 90s Alt. rock records at a thrift store I went to on Friday; ex-radio station copies, but as usual, mostly marginal stuff.
I did pick up a few that looked interesting:

Dream Syndicate - Ghost Stories (1988 Enigma US)
Ferron - Phantom Center (1990 Chameleon US)
Heretix - Gods & Gangsters (1990 Island US)
Jack Frost - S/T (1991 Arista US)
Gear Daddies - Live Bait (1990 Polydor US)

 

America - Highway: 30 Years of America $24.99. Been on an America kick recently so it was good to track this down.

Also, was thrilled to find the Neil Young book Long May You Run - The Illustrated History, for $4.99 at our local overstock store. Brand new and they had a stack of them. I remember almost buying the first edition of this from Borders several years ago when it was over $30. I know it's not vinyl or CD but still was happy to run across this.

 

We giggled like to little fat girls eating a box of candy when we found this one.

 

Just bought 4 pink floyd japan pressed cds for 7.99 each. Dsotm black face, meddle black face, atom heart mother and final cut. Any opinions on the resale value? I'm not impressed with what i saw on ebay. I think i'm going to keep them.

 

I've been looking for this particular disc for over 10 years and haven't found it, so I gave up trying fair means and applied money online to get it . I'm happy to have my "We're In This Together" 3 CD single set complete.

 

The Call Reconciled alone is worth that. Well, maybe not $40, but it's one of the best discs of the '80s. Did you ever post those discs you got from me?

 

I did twice but apparently not here. here they are again. 10 bucks for the CDs. They are safely ripped onto the hard drive. A friend of mine really like the Sire disc.



A buck for the girl.



2 bucks for the cover. The vinyl was near mint too. (Not from Retro Hound)



Thanks Retro Hound!

 

I love that Bond album! I've been looking for it for in the $2 range.

 

There was a booth along the wall behind you that I purchased it from.

 

Charity Shop.

Fleetwood Mac "The Dance" DVD sealed with two stickers (avail on cd/cassette and a sound description sticker.
Drop Dead Fred(1991) DVD 2003 16:9 version. Hilarious Cult Comedy Classic. Hard to find, yet there it was...

Nothing else, but finding Drop Dead Fred justifies a day wasted.

 

Paid 8x more for one of the selections.
