Old stuff; in fantastic condition. S/T (Vertigo), ATT (Vertigo) & IAGH (WWA) are UK imports (festooned with the classic Jem Records Imports orange sticker).

Randomly saw a guy selling these 5 records for $25 on CraigsList a couple weeks ago. Unbelievable.

 

Beatles - Sgt Pepper's.. coming LP set
Dylan - Triplicate Deluxe
Dylan - Fallen Angels .. test pressing
King Crimson - Lizard.. Steve Wilson's personal test pressing
King Crimson - Poseidon.. Steve Wilson's personal test pressing

 

These 5. That Men record Tomorrow's Hits is a keeper. Reminds me of the first Strokes LP for some reason. Found it on red vinyl for I think $12.

 

The Beatles - Abbey Road UK first pressing
Jefferson Airplane = After Bathing at Baxters = German RCA
Chicken Shack = Imagination Lady
Jimi Hendrix Experience = Axis Bold as Love 1st Reprise pressing

King Curtis - Soul Serenade on Capitol

Found a pile of reasonably-priced classic country at my local store recently, all original issues. Paid under $20 total for these....

Porter Wagoner: The Cold Hard Facts Of Life RCA Victor 1967
Porter Wagoner: Confessions Of A Broken Man RCA Victor 1966
Hank Snow: I've Been Everywhere RCA Victor 1963
Buck Owens And His Buckaroos: Carnegie Hall Concert Capitol 1966
Hank Thompson And His Brazos Valley Boys: A Six Pack To Go Capitol 1966

 

Been replacing some poor conditioned records:

Jack the Lad s/t, Famous Charisma replacing A&M that skipped on track 1 of both sides
Beethoven's 5th, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Vanguard
Tommy James and the Shondells/Gettin' Together. Bought a sealed copy of Discogs. Looks and sounds to be the real deal.

Not replacements:
Brian Wilson/No Pier Pressure, 50% off at Manifest
Hello People/Illusion
The Raiders/Indian Reservation, quad

 

A lot of stores simply cannot move classic country. The dollar store in Kannapolis sold their entire country section, because they couldn't sell VG original Loretta Lynn albums for a buck!

 

Yes, I've been building my classic country collection over the past few years for next to nothing! I'm not really a fan of more recent Country Pop, but this old twangy stuff really does it for me!

 

Weekend's coming. Hoping to add more then!

Bought 7 yesterday. A local store that couldn't participate in RSD offered 50% reduction on all vinyl.

Never seen so many middle aged men run into a shop in my life... I managed to squeeze myself somewhere into the "S" section, so got 3 albums by Suede (Coming Up, Sci-Fi Lullabies and A New Morning) and 2 by Springsteen (The River, Born in the USA). The seventh record was Highway 61 Revisited, which I managed to grab when someone who'd changed his mind about it put it back randomly.

I tried to see if I could look elsewhere in the alphabet, but gave up when I saw that all the really good stuff had been taken.

 

My list of the last 5:

• Miss Sharon Jones! 2LP by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - bought during RSD 2017
• Half Age EP by Weval
• Easier EP by Weval - bought at their concert in Rotterdam
• Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday *
• Blood by Liane La Havas

* all new except for Lady In Satin.
