My trip to Goodwill today: 29 LPs, $29!

Grant · Mar 16, 2004

Nice score Keith. The thrift stores in Calgary all seem to have the same old scratchy LPs. I tour the stores about once a month. It's always the same old, same old; Jim Nabours, Jim Reeves, Andre Kostalanis, Ray Connif, Anne Murray, Mrs. Mills, Liberace, Guy Lombardo, Lawrence Welk, Babs Streisand, Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, South Pacific, tons of Time Life Arthur Fiedler, Reader's Digest box sets and heaps of older Christian music albums. Lots of early Herb Alpert/Tijuana Brass pressings

Yeah, that's all I ever find here too.

I think you're going to end up spending more money on the sleeves than the actual records..

My advice is to take the sleeve money and buy another 29 LP's with it instead!

Believe me, I considered that. I really would like to have these LPs in sleeve, though.

Thanks, Joe. I just checked out their web site, and I think this sleeve will work:

Yeah, I'm thinking of dumping my LPs too.

I'm wondering if this person bought a lot of these LPs and simply dubbed them to cassette or got into CDs shortly after buying them. Whatever it is, these LPs, though dusty, are in great shape. Some of them still even have the shrinkwrap with a narrow strip removed just to enable access to the LP.

How's the spindle wear look? That's the way to tell how much they were played. From what you are telling us, the spindle holes probably don't look very worn.
