Damn I am currently looking for a good copy of that BOC album! The Pink Floyd one is a good get also, nice.

I bought last night KISS Double Platinum in fantastically delicious shape for $6 and my Uriah Heep album The Magician's Birthday came in today. It replaces my old one which was not cared for very well before I bought it 15 years ago. It always bothered me listening to it as it popped too much.

I also bought Uriah Heep Demons and Wizards as well as Salisbury to replace cassette copies I bought in the 80s stupidly.

Just opened Alice in Chains Unplugged...
Holy sh!t it sounds incredible. My stereo has been waiting for something like this!

Ordered U2 Achtung Baby 4 LP set, and Dead Can Dance's Spiritchaser... Should be arriving tomorrow afternoon....
Too much to list, I sell the stuff, so most of it was free (the only way I can afford my addiction)!

Picked up some oldies I like. God I love music so much.

I found these at a Goodwill store and all were 99 cents except one which was 50 cents.

The first one is the South Pacific Soundtrack, there are some great musical moments on this including one of the most romantic songs ever recorded. Some Enchanted Evening.

This vinyl copy is pristine and minty, nice find for me. Also it is a nice almost new gatefold cover!

Look at the store reciept still inside the sleeve! Oct. 17th 1959 in Boston. I am not too far from Boston in Maine.


215272152821529

next is a real gem. A 1949 MINTY FRESH copy of Gregory Peck and Loretta Young reading each a Christmas story. One - I'm a huge movie buff .... two ... IT'S GREGORY PECK!! Such a great voice.

I still cannot believe I found this in mint shape at a Goodwill store for 99 cents. Really???

The record weighs a ton and I was afraid to wash it as I didn;t know what it was made of so I researched and then cleaned it like a standard record. It still makes noise but is pristine and I attribute it to not very good record making in 1949 more than anything because it IS clean. It has a couple of air bubbles in the record from manufacture that make pops as well when they pass. *shrug*

215352153621537

Got a very nice 1962 Jazz compilation, I love jazz and the fidelity of this record is superb. Nice clean crisp record with great percussion sounds like the cymbals which sound like they are in the room with you.

21532

The next one is a 1959 Hires Root Beer Promotional Compilation. Great record and also minty fresh except for side 1 which has a large scratch down the entire length of the side BUT when played it barely makes any noise, I was shocked. The cover has a writing pen home circling of a specific title as well, not bad really. Took a chance and it paid off. Highlights include Unchained Melody sung by Gisele and also the cool 50s rock an roll song Sugar Bowl 50s rockabilly from the Boston area Chip Fisher.

21530

This one I bought for the cover lol. The music isn't very good and while the record looks mint it sounds damaged like the vinyl was damaged from the elements or someone used the the wrong fluid for a record cleaner at one time. The grooves sound bad. great cover though!!


21531

Duke Ellington's greatest Hits LIVE. A great find, the record is like new. 99 cents!


21533


The last one is a good compilation and it is MINT quality vinyl. I love it when vinyl sounds this clean after a good cleaning.

This is the reissue of Dalek I's (early 80s Wirral electro pioneers) Compass Kumpas. It's pressed by Medical Records of Seattle, USA and available from Juno Records in the UK. It's a limited run of 1000 numbered copies.

It's a lovely quality heavy vinyl pressing with a 7" clear square flexi and Pete Frame family tree of the Eric's scene in Liverpool. Even the flexi sounds good and there's a band biog / retrospective on the other side of the family tree. :D

That's funny. Once I came across Killers, Number of the Beast and Somewhere in Time (along with a couple of Saxon albums) at a thrift store at the same time. When I luck into a selection like that, it makes me think either someone got "born again", or someone's mom decided to clean out their grown-and-moved-out kid's stuff. Sort of makes me feel a little bad buying it. Sort of. :)
