Adelaide residents - there is a record fair at Walkerville RSL today. The seller on the left hand side of the hall has stacks of Japanese first pressings for very good prices. I picked up Crosby Stills And Nash, Rolling Stones and King Crimson for $40 each, all with obis.
Yeah, just for a moment I thought we were back to the good old days of reckless abandon and wallet-draining vinyl-buying fun of 2020. Not to be. back to the cave...
Rory Gallagher Rory Gallagher (LP) https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07RPX615X/ Looks like it might be this 2019 version: Rory Gallagher – Rory Gallagher (2019, Vinyl) - Discogs $23.88
I stopped by for a couple of hours. Didn't get much, couple of new LPs and one second hand one. For some reason I just didn't feel it.
I need to take over another room in the house to store records. When the kids grow up, and their toys all go, their toy/play room next to my music room will be all mine. I will easily be able to triple my collection.
They appear to be shipping my $30 box now. Wonder what I'll get? I was late to the party and I'm surprised to get anything at all. Fingers crossed it's the big box set and not the regular beermat CD.
I can dig it, sometimes I walk into a record store, flick through a couple of bins and leave. Other times I will go through every record in the store and walk out with a pile of records Often it is the music the record store is playing, it seems to affect my record buying karma!
I got the big box for $30!!! For some reason I expected it to be LP size. But can't complain as it's better than paying $175... although that seems a bit much for what it is. But fair due to Amazon for honouring my order.
In case anyone didn't get one Amazon AU are still listing the Californication CB cut LP for around $23...second one down under "Other sellers on Amazon" Californication https://amzn.asia/d/bAkuduv
Just a head's up that Sanity currently have 75% off everything in store. Very few CD's left at the one near me, but I did pick up a few including Brian Cadd, the Russell-Springfield Project, the Whitlams and Tex Perkins. A lot more DVD and BR movies, TV series etc. I'm not sure if this is at every Sanity store. And by the way my new avatar is my dog Dusty, a bull-arab cross. We average 3km walking every day, and he is terrific company!
