Did you buy any Vinyl today?

[danieldust]

For $13 I got:

That looks like a real good haul for $13. I have that first Wes Montgomery. I don't think it's hip to say so, but I dig it and would welcome the others if I found nice copies.

I bought one of the best metal records ever made.

JUDAS PRIEST - BRITISH STEEL

Near mint record condition and the sleeve is still shrink wrapped in mint shape.

awesome!

Thank you, I was happy to steal it for $3.

I bought ...

STATIC-X - CULT OF STATIC
DIO - KILLING THE DRAGON PICTURE DISC @ 25% OFF FOR $20
HATEBREED - FOR THE LIONS ... 75% OFF DBL LP $5!!

And I did get a used one in the mail from Discogs, OZ - III WARNING a rather rare metal lp for $15 on Combat records in great mint shape.

Right moment right place...

In a record shop someone that was trading didn't know that his copy of Gorillaz - Demon Days was very rare and collectible.

Not even the shop owner knew it and I was asked to pay only £20.00 for an almost mint copy. Sometimes I can't believe my luck.

Cheers

I came away from a local charity shop with three old Chris Rea albums:
Whatever to Benny Santini
Deltics
Tennis

All in very good nick. The only downside is the covers have sticky labels on them. If I remove them, I'll spoil the cover

[Rob998]

Mint 1st pressing with credits insert & sticker track listing on the rear. No fan club flyer though



Mint early pressing, no poster.



Reissue on Fame, vinyl looks mint, but a little crackly, could do with a trip though the Knosti



Another near mint one.



mint

And finally:



dog rough, noisy as hell, but £0.00 as a tester to see if I fancy buying a nicer copy when my pusher gets one in. which after listening I do, it's a great album.

Anyway £20 the lot which is pretty good IMHO

Sticky labels (not the water soluble gum) can easily be removed if you soak them in lighter fluid (the can with the spout). You can then lift the edge carefully with a finger nail and add more fluid along the edge where you are peeling as you slowly remove the label. Just take your time. You can do the same with old sticky tape. Keep some kitchen roll handy so that you can wipe off the gum with more lighter fluid. It takes a few goes and use new paper so you are not just spreading the removed glue.

I got QUEEN II ($3) and also ZZ TOP - TRES HOMBRES ($3) both vinyls are in virtually mint shape. Good sounding grooves .... for two great records.

[Cabbage Patch Elvis]

Garage sale haul! I grabbed 20 albums out of a batch of approximately 500. Obviously listened to someone who respected the records themselves but many of the covers were were just SOOO thrashed. Musty, mouse-eaten and moldy. Two stacks of the records had some sort of goo all over the inside spine as if someone dumped antifreeze on them. I didn't even go through those. Still, some real special albums, for me anyway, and as already mentioned, the records themselves are all in near-mint condition. Here are the best of the bunch. Sorry the pic is so blurry. I think I'm most excited about the Blues Magoos (still in original shrink-wrap, with comic book insert intact) and the Cycle Psychos (songs about motorcycles with dirt track noises between the songs!)

I found Rick Wakeman"Journey to the Centre of the Earth"
Gordon Lightfoot "Gords Gold"
Bruce Springsteen "Born in the USA"
Billy Joel "Glass Houses and Innocent Man"
Wakeman and Lightfoot covers are rough but vinyl is in excellent shape,Springsteen and Joel are very nice both cover and vinyl.

Good thing you don't listen to the covers!

I'm one who usually doesn't care what the sleeve shape is in if the record is in good shape. Nice to have a good sleeve jacket yes I agree but if not available I won;t turn down buying something with a tortured cover if the record is great.

Chances are one will come across a half decent jacket with a crappy record in it at a flea market.

I have a couple I need jackets for Joe Walsh There Goes The Neighborhood and Rainbow - Down The Earth. The Rainbow jacket actually was spray painted for some reason with navy blue striping lol. Joe Walsh album ... was at Goodwill in the original inner sleeve with NO jacket MINT shape for 99 cents. Just figured I may find a jacket later ..... I hope.

[HT Performance]

Thelonious Monk Big Band and Quartet - In Concert (1963) [Columbia Reissue]

Very very good recording and fine Jazz music!

I´m glad I bought this one in brand new sealed condition.
