Random...?

not sure what you mean.

It just seems a bit random for a Bill Cosby album to be mixed in with all those rock albums and such.  Then again, taking another look at that list, it's all pretty random.

yeah, with the exception of the 3 comedy albums (Dangerfield and Carlin were the other) South Pacific and a few blues albums it was all rock.

Those are some good records. Very nice!

the funny thing is I got all those in one stop. between Saturday and today I went to 4 thrift shops, flipped through about 1000 records and only found 2 rock albums. one by Cheap Trick and one by Jethro Tull. if I see anymore Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond or the Firestone Christmas Collection I'll puke.

This made me laugh.  It's exactly the reason I often pass by records in thrifts nowadays.

it's a drag flipping through all those but once in a while there's something good tucked in amongst them.

I'll flip through them every few stops. not all though.

I used to look through the tapes at thrift stores, but I didn't find a single tape that I wanted.  The thrifts that I go to seem to have way more records than tapes.  If I thought I could find a decent record player and a good number of good records I would look through them.

I got my turntable about 20 years ago when I got the component stereo I still use today. I added a single disc CD player in the early 90's and a multi disc CD player in the late 90's. It still works like a charm. Sure it's a relic by today's standards but it sounds good and serves me well.

Nice find Den !

my wife was a little mortfied that I'd rummage through trash but old habits die hard I guess. as a youngster I had an ealy morning newspaper route. I uncovered many a treasure in those days.

ONE MANS TRASH IS ANOTHER MANS TREASURE..Great find.

I've still been checking the records every time I stop at a thrift and while the rock albums are very short in supply I have found at least one each time out.

a few of the latest:

John Mayall - (I don't recall the title)
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
Yes - Yessongs
Sammy Hagar - 3 Lock Box

all priced between 50 and 99 cents.

I picked up a few more records today:

Kiss - Dynasty
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Montrose - Paper Money
Rick Wakeman-The Myths &  Legends of King Arthur & The Knights of the Round Table.

today I found the double album Queen - Live Killers

two more:

Journey - Infinity
GTR

5 more!

Styx - Equinox
Bob Seger - The Distance
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Beach Boys - Endless Summer
Eagles - The Long Run

I am the only one who posts in this thread! heh heh

on a lunch break thrift run...

Bob Seger - Night Moves

I like CD's

I would love to buy records, but the music I enjoy is either too recent or too foreign/obscure to get on vinyl.  Tis' quite saddening...

- Zac

2 more:

Styx - Pieces of Eight
Joe Jackson - Look Sharp

I'll have to go thru the records I've bought at thrifts/yard sales.  I know I've picked up some good ones for under a buck each.  
I do know the following:
Bruce Springsteen "Tunnel of Love" new/sealed $.49
"The Concert for Bangladesh" complete $.25
The Doors "The Doors" & "Hotel Morrison" for $.50 each

I've also picked up several Styx, Toto, Iron Butterfly, Beatles, AC/DC, Megadeth.
I got the Metallica "Garage Inc" set, new on vinyl, for $10 when it first came out - very interesting to find new releases on vinyl...

I'd like to get the Concert for Bangladesh. didn't that recently get released on CD?

I've yet to find any Ramones on vinyl. someday... maybe.

the Beatles don't turn up often, though I have most of those from when I was a kid and I recently aquired several from a cousin who passed away.

I just saw a stack of Beatles albums last week at a thrift, but they were in the showcase and marked $20 each.  I have no clue if they are worth that or not!

yeah that seems high. I know records are obsolete but how many bazillion did the Beatles sell? they can't be rare.

there's a small thrift/antique shop in my town that was selling Abbey Road and Let It Be for $20 each too.

I passed on those and picked up Queen - Live Killers for $2.

;) ;)

somehow I doubt those are the one's that will turn up in the thrifts. it's the beat up musty smelling copies of Sgt Pepper's they are trying to get $20 for.

and I heard factory sealed is not a good thing for records. the shrink wrap will continue to shrink over the years and warp the record.

Yeah I don't tyhink those will show up either. Thats why I add the  ;) ;) but it would be nice if you did find one.

closest I got was a Grinder CD autographed by Darren McCarty. a cool find sure but not exactly on par with John, Paul, George and Ringo.

I would like the McCarty auto better. LOL

I would only get the Beatles one to resell. I don't really like teh Beatles at all.

I happened to be bored so i drove to the Salvation Army near me.
They must have had about 12 crates of albums.
There must have been a few hundred in there.
2$ a piece.

all the thrifts around here are like that too. but out of that 200, 199 are usually christmas, Barry Manilow, Andy Williams or Jim Nabors records.

the weekend turned up a few more:

Steve Winwood - Chronicles
Moody Blues - Octave
Moody Blues - This is the Moody Blues

Reading this thread is dangerous for me...I used to have hundreds of records and loved going out and finding all kinds of stuff, usually for about 50 cents each...a relatively cheap hobby, but very addicitve.

You've gotten alot of nice records there den...makes me want to start that hobby back up again, but my wife would kill me.  There's a nice store in a large city nearby, and they have aisles and aisles of 45s, LPs/EPs, 78s and even the really old Edison cylinders...and nothing is over $2...I see ALOT of really old Jazz and Blues on the 78s...I gotta stop thinking about it!

ooh, sounds like I need to take a drive to Kentucky. I've yet to find any Ramones or Rush records, might be the place to get them. It's been fun searching through the record bins while out thrift hunting. it's hit or miss finding video games but I can almost always find at least one record and I don't like to come home from my searches empty handed.

my wife has given me the "oh no. not another collection" speech but hasn't killed me just yet.

There are some Ramones records in a used CD store near here, too...for about $30 each.

ah, that explains why I haven't found any. $30 bucks will get me 60 records where I shop.

still no Ramones or Rush but another big pile all the same...

Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna
Stevie Nicks - The Wild Heart
REO Speedwagon - A Decade of Rock and Roll, 1970-1980

I have this one, got it with a milk crate full of lp's I bought in front of Bookman's a few years ago.  The store didn't want them and the woman that had them needed help reloading them, and lots of other crap, into her van.  I asked how much.  She said $1!
I also got several Doors records, some Steppenwolf, some Kansas and Styx also.  My best lp score!
When my dad was out here last year we fired up my record player and listened to the Bangladesh lp's.  Good times...

Now I am forced to purchase music on the internet, cause its addictive.

Anyway gonna bid on some nice records on eBay couple few days...

How many recs you got there den? I have maybe about 50 or something...mostly jazz and funk...few of them are soul.

And fuck my collegues over here who discuss about Robbie Williams all day! Shit is working on my nervess if you know what I am saying...

who is Robbie Williams? me and a guy at work are both music buffs and often discuss bands like Yes, Rush, ELP and Clapton. there is this other guy that is constantly telling us that Robbie Williams has sold more albums than all of them. neither of us has ever heard of the guy.

I've got a few hundred. I still have all my albums from when I was a kid. The rest have come from thrifts and such. Actually I started this thread because I found about 90 records that someone tossed out with their trash.

If I say that this Williams guy is from a boyband such as Backstreet Boys or Westlife you dont want to hear his sound I suppose!
But lets quit talking bout that noise and try to focus on the real deal, know what I am saying?

Maybe we can open a section on the RF Gen thats into music or something?

we do have the Media forum. it's usually dominated by movie topics but that's the place for music discussion. start up a thread and see where it goes.

Andy Taylor - Thunder
Ratt - Invasion of your Privacy
Triumph - Allied Forces
Duran Duran - Girls on Film 12" single
Duran Duran - Is There Something I should Know? 12" single

Ratt!  I forgot all about Ratt. One of my favorite bands in the 80's. I can remember listening to dancing undercover, invasion of your privacy, and reach for the sky..... It is amazing how many memories just came back to me from reading about you picking up "Ratt - Invasion of your Privacy". Thanks for the trip down memory lane, I again reallies how old I am.

Bought me a very very very very very nice record of Sun Ra this week...
I will try to take some pictures when received home.
Its a mix of acid jazz meets fusion and very rare!

I'd like to see that.

Also wanted to show some picks of both records I received bout two weeks ago!
Melvin van Peebles - Dont play us cheap
(http://images.marketworks.com/hi/63/62709/img_6542.jpg)
Melvin van Peebles - Sweet sweetbacks badassss
(http://images.marketworks.com/hi/63/62709/img_7037.jpg)
Both from Stax records...

that's awesome. Sweet Sweetback's Baaddaass Song. brilliant!

Came in the mail today...

http://cgi.ebay.nl/SUN-RA-THE-SOUND-MIRROR-ORIG-HAND-MADE-SATURN-LP-NM_W0QQitemZ4880795110QQcategoryZ306QQcmdZViewItem

Is the same record...only my cover has not the red label, mine is collored yellow, but still handmade...and I payed less...obviously the seller didnt knew the correct worth of this record...
But the record is the same, yellow label on it, original 1978 Saturn pressing...

And darn it feels good having some Sun Ra vinyl around here!

Nice man, did you also get it from US eBay or from within Europe?

Came from the English eBay...probably there weren't that much people who really wanted it cause of the end-bidders...got it for about 39 pounds, but had it shipped registered, costed a little more...but still worthwhile cause its a kinda rare piece of viny;)

Damn, still quite a bit of $$ for a record, but at least you're lucky that the GBP has lost some value recently ;)

that's awesome man! nice score!

I just picked up a Music Machine LP - by Candle/Sparrow and the overall condition is much better than my previous copy....and it still has the comic/story pages included! This will compliment my very hard to find Music Machine 8 track *anyone else have one of these 8tracks?*

Don't worry about the price, I've paid krazy amounts for video games...as I'm sure we all have. lol

I've seen that LP a couple times. once it was just a very tattered sleeve, the second the LP was there but mangled and neither had the comic.

what's the story on that? isn't there an Atari game that goes with it too?

Well, I doubt it. On Atari Age there was a discussion on this album a few years back and they were 99% sure it didn't come with a game, but there is always that chance. I personally don't think it did, it's just a kool thing to collect. I consider it a atari collectable. this is the link for the R10 Music Machine  http://www.atariage.com/software_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=321

I've been lurking here for weeks, and naturally the first thread that I post in is......

I looked through a flea market guy's "garbage records" (which means 1 small scratch or the jacket is a little beat up, boo hoo) and picked up 30 albums for 10 bucks. Some Kool & The Gang, Jacksons, common crap to fill holes in the collection.

The best one is the Sesame Street album My Name Is Roosevelt Franklin. The funkiest kid's record this side of the Electric Company.

Also got a bunch of really nice 45's at 3 for $1:

The Jimmy Castor Bunch - Troglodyte/I Promise To Remember (HOLY CRAP)
Sam & Dave - Wrap It Up/I Thank You (original Stax!)
The Delfonics - Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)/I Gave To You (reissue, who cares)

Bill Cosby - Ursalena/Hooray For The Salvation Army Band! (I have the album, it's a personal favorite)
Hugo Montenegro - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly/For A Few Dollars More (woo!)

Funkadelic - One Nation Under A Groove (WOO)
T. Rex - Bang A Gong (Get It On)/Raw Ramp
Steely Dan - Black Cow/Josie (to go with my 2 copies of the album, geez)
Rush - Spirit Of The Radio/Circumstances

wow! some nice 45's there. and I remember Roosevelt Franklin. I didn't know he had his own album. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that one. I have picked up a few kids records that looked interesting.

You do trades? :D :D :D :D :D


Yeah, some are too good to resist. I have a couple hilarious educational ones, and some other 70's classics like "Free To Be You And Me"

trade? I would but I don't grab extar copies of anything. what are you looking for? I'll keep my eyes peeled when i'm scouring the record bins.

my finds...

The Alan Parsons Project - Eye In The Sky
Walt Disney's Story and Songs From Bambi - Picture Disk

Generally I look for nearly anything with a groove to it. R&B, Soul, Jazz, Fusion, Funk, Reggae, Calypso, Disco, Latin, Rap, etc.

But there's also a buncha Rock records I'm looking for, some Country (a la my avatar), Kids stuff, 60's/70's Electronic stuff, Sinatra, way too much different stuff. I need to work on putting a have list online (it'd be smaller than the want list)

Ooooohh, I could be convinced!  The Styx albums are 1980 reissues, FYI.  Great 80s haul in that last post BTW!

yeah I was pretty pleased with that last find. all were in great shape too. I listened to the Eddie Murphy album on Sunday. I hadn't heard that in years.

"Hey Norton, why don't you come over here and..."

so what kind of convincing will it take?

Picked up the following today:

78:

Not a bad find considering they were all free.

cool. did your Grand Illusion still have the poster in it?

No, Wish it did though.  :'(

yeah it's a nice surprise when the posters or any other extras are still intact. I've found about 10 albums that still had posters in the sleeve.off the top of my head I remember Styx - Grand Illusion, Beah Boys - Endless Summer, Chicago Live at Carnegie Hall, Beatles - The White Album and I don't remember what albums but I got posters for Journey and Grand Funk.

I found a Paul Mc Cartney album and one by David Bowie that had stickers with them.

Unbelievable day at the flea market. The Gene Harris was one of my biggest wants, and I paid $1. The Marty, Grover, 10cc, Beck, Chick, Mahavishnu, and Stones were all real high on the list too.

Also at the bottom of the pic you can see Pokemon Gold and Kirby Nightmare In Dream Land, they were $2.50 each at a garage sale. :DDDDD

I need to shop where YOU shop!  Those look to be in great shape, too!

nice! if you want Cosby LP's I see those all the time. I know I could get you a few of those.

They are! That's what I love about the flea market....there's 1 guy here that is extremely picky about records, meaning if they have even the slightest imperfection, 1 tiny scratch, slight ring wear, DJ timing strip, cutout, etc. he tosses them into the cheap stuff crates. I have been reaping the benefits of this since May.


I look for the Bill Cosby Sings ones more than the stand-up. I do need copies of "Bill Cosby Is A Very Funny Fellow...RIGHT!" and "To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With", but other than that, not looking for too many. Richard Pryor on the other hand.........

wow how many records you own now

Too many. lol.

Den, do you have any extra "Weird Al" LP's or 45's?

no, I've yet to find any Weird Al. and I've got about 500 albums.

That's quite a few! How do you store your records? Do you use milk crates?

I've got 2 old record cabinets that are probably from the 50's. they hold about a 100 each. the rest are in my daughters old changing table.

I got some good records at Goodwill today, I don't usually bother looking, because I don't have a record player or any other records, but today I went through about 5 milk crates of records.  They were only 49 cents so I couldn't pass 'em up. 
Triumph- Rock and Roll Machine
Dire Straits
Super Tramp- Famous last words
Styx- Corner stone
Journey- Frontier
Jackson Browne- Hold Out
REO Speedwagon- hi infidelity

But when I checked out, it was 50% off day or something so it was like $1.80 something for all of them.  Now I just need to find a cheap record player. 

I need a new stylus for my turn table.  :'( Best Buy wants $20. Anybody know where I might find a cheaper one?

wow. I didn't even know Best Buy had them at all.

hmmm, any chance you want to swap this one?

Any of you top my dads 15000 records yet? lol

I felt neccesary to login hehe ;)

After 6 weeks of waiting I finally received my third Blue Note in the mail

Great record! Maybe compared to the money I paid and the real price a great find!

den, you sell that Space Odyssey soundtrack?

No, but would anyone want to?  :P

me

nah, I want to keep it. I did see another copy of it yesterday. I'll stop back and if it's still there I'll pick it up for you.

I went to a few thrift stores yesterday and all saw was classic, big and and 1940-1950 shit. I did see 1-5 soundtracks for movies I have heard of but no rock n roll. I have never seen any rock n roll records at thrift shops.

A nice piece of Detroit sports history cheese though.)

Damn, and also that Clockwork Orange soundtrack is hot, I want that to, if possible to be correct hehe...

Found that 2001 Space Odyssey soundtrack also? Just pick it up, I would be very pleased with that one! Thanks in advance.

the Clockwork Orange record is not a soundtrack. It's Anthony Burgess reading excerts from the book.

Sounds even better than a soundtrack...

Both movies are from the director Stanley Kubrick, thats why they are wanted by me...

Still had that 2001 copy up there?

haven't got back to that store. that one is one of my Saturday stops it's not real close to home.

sorry dude. I stopped back today at that Salvation Army today and that 2001 soundtrack was gone.

I finall got a record player, its an old one with an 8 track, cassette player and AM/FM Tuner.  Its in sad shape now, but looks like it was a nice one when it was new. 

I also got some more records, Queen- "The Game" and "A night at the opera" for 50 cents.  Also got Eagles- "The long run" and Styx- "The grand illusion".  For 50 cents each. 

nice. I remember buying "The Game" when it came out.

I can't wait to listen to it.  I cleaned up the record player and it looks great, but I need a new needle and some speakers. 

I haven't posted my record finds in a while. I've had quite a few...

ooh. the Super Session with Stills and that Clockwork Orange album sound intriguing.

I only managed one record find today.

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside

I got a new record player today.  It was at a church flea market and it looked really nice, almost new looking.  It was $5 and I was going to just buy it, but we ran into a lady that we know (and was working there) and she said we could try it out first, so she brought over a power strip and plugged it in.  Nothing, it would not turn on at all.  So I ended up getting it for free.  After I took it home, I left for work, but while I was gone, the lady stopped by our house and gave my dad the speakers to it because nobody bought them.  So even if I can't get the record player to work, I at least got some speakers.

One of these days I WILL listen to those records I bought. 

Do you have this one?

[img width=380 height=380]http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h150/UNFORGIVINGPAIN/vrg78-1.jpg[/img]

Picked up a few records the other day
Grease Soundtrack
The Sound of Music Soundtrack <~Its the wifes 8-)

Thats great!!!!!!!

that's awesome!

Got these for $.49 at Goodwill
Rod Stewart "Blondes Have More Fun" & "Foot Loose & Fancy Free"
Eddie Money  "Life For The Taking"
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band "Stranger in Town"
Also got "State of Shock" Ted Nugent becuase it was loose and "accidentally" slipped into the cover of another record ::) 

I also have a few questions for you guys;
Is there anyway to remove permanent marker from the record case? Normally it wouldn't bother me, but one has a big "49 cents" written on Bob Seger's forehead.

Also, where can I buy a new stylus?  I finally got that free record player to work, many frustrating hours and a few shocks, but the needle is pretty bad and all the records sound bad. If it helps, the number is EPS-41ST.   

Best Buy has this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6899181&st=stylus&type=product&id=1096380173993

if that won't work I'm sure you could find an answer here: http://www.recordcollectorsguild.org/

as for the marker. I doubt there's much you can do. album sleeves have all kind of different paper, coatings and textures and they all react differently. I've used Goo Gone to get stickers off with success on some and rubbed the color off on others. You'd need something more potent for markers. I guess you need to decide whether shredded paper looks better than marker. tough call.

I've got several sleeves with peoples names written on them and have just left them alone. On the plus side "Stranger In Town" is not all that tough to come buy. I've seen it many times.

Billy Joel "52nd Street"  25 cents
The Beach Boys "Endless Summer" 50 cents
Theme from "Star Trek" for 25 cents. This looks neat, it has themes from Planet of the Apes, Batman, Superman, and more.

Bruce Springsteen: Born in the USA.


BTW, I'm going to sell Born in the USA, Life For The Taking, Cornerstone, The Grand Illusion, and High InFedelity to a guy at the flea market, because I already have them.  What do you think a fair price would be for them?  Could I at least make my $10 back?

heck yeah. while most thrift stores sell records for $.50 - $1.00 I wouldn't flinch at paying $2 apiece if they are in decent shape.

You got some nice ones there. Discovery is a great album, so is Benefit. Nice score on the Crue too, I've yet to find any of their albums.

AC/DC: Pyromania??? isn't that Def Leppard?

My mistake.  It was Def Leppard.   I also got Flick of the Switch by AC/DC. 

Thanks for the price check, if he tries to rip me off, I'll sell them to you, if you want them. 


Today, at the same location I got some more.  Less records, but 2 of the best artists ever.
Crosby, Stills, and Nash- Crosby, Stills, and Nash
Eddie Money- Eddie Money
And now, 2 of the greatest albums of all time:
Pink Floyd-Dark Side of the Moon
Led Zeppelin- IV
Just out of curiosity, what do you think those last 2 are worth?

I really don't know the value for records. My collecting is confined to thrifts, fleas and garage sales.

here's a place you could get a good answer though: http://www.recordcollectorsguild.org/

I've got the 4 you're selling but if you want to sell Theatre of Pain or Flick of The Switch I'm interested.

mt latest:

John Cougar - American Fool
Blackfoot - Strikes
Bad Company - Straight Shooter
Christine McVie - Christine McVie
ELO - Ole ELO
Bruce Hornsby & The Range - Scenes From The Southside
Bus Boys - Minimum Wage Rock N Roll

here's an odd one:

Denny McClain - At The Organ, The Detroit Tigers Superstar Swings With Today's Hits

McClain was on the 68 Tigers World Series team. While lately he's more famous for his troubles with the law he once was a 30 game winner. The sleeve has him on the mound in uniform. A pretty unique record plus a nice piece of Tigers memorabilia.

lastly:

a Matthew Sweet promo picture disk.

I tried that site, but they ave way too many boards, I got so confused.  I posted in "Tell me about "Price Guides" and the value of my records."  but it must have been deleted because I can't find my message now. 
Someone did say they were worth only about $1 each. 

I'm keeping Theatre of Pain an Flick of The Switch, but you probably wouldn't want them anyway.  They look like they were sitting in water for the past few years, the sleeves are all rotted away on the bottom half, the vinyl is still god though, so it doesn't bother me.

I stay away from sleeves that are water damaged unless it's minor. I've passed on many really great albums I wanted because the sleevs were trashed. I've also seen the reverse many times, immaculate sleeves and vinyl that looks like it was used for home plate.

More 49 cent albums from Goodwill today;
Alice Cooper- "Love it to Death"
Kansas- "Point of know return"
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young- "4 way Street"
Three Dog Night- "It ain't easy"
Steppenwolf- "Live"
Aerosmith- "Toys in the Attic"
Fleetwood Mac- "Live"

I just looked at that forum Den posted and holy crap that is a lot of forums!

I know, it took me more than hour one day to find the right forum to post in.  They just keep going and going...

that is a cool forum but it does take some looking to find what you're looking for.

Fairport Convention - Liege & Lief
Steely Dan - Aja
Sniff 'n' the Tears - Fickle Heart
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Emerson Lake & Palmer

and lastly...

I FINALLY FOUND SOME WEIRD AL VINYL!!!

Weird Al Yankovic - In 3-D - SEALED!

[img width=700 height=525]http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/9522/imgp0267qu6.jpg[/img] (http://imageshack.us)

Lol, I just got this for $.99 at good will.  anyone know how much its worth?

SESAME DISCO!

it's probably worth what you paid. however if you factor in the value of cheesiness it's priceless.

nice grab!

There's a Sesame Street Disco at the Goodwill I go to, but it's different from the one you got.  It's been there for at least 4 months, so it must not be worth much. 

you listing to the sesame street disco yet gannon banned

Hey cool, I didn't even know there was a record topic at this forum. I've been buying records for a few years, but my collection's pretty small. I've only got about 70 or so. I'm not really that interested in cheesy 70s rock, so I don't really find that many records I want to buy. Here are some of my recent purchaces

Bo Diddley - Bo Diddley
Ray Charles - Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music
Buddy Holly - 20 Golden Hits
Devo - Smooth Noodle Maps
McGuinn, Clark, and Hillman - McGuinn, Clark, and Hillman

what's on that Devo album? I'm not familiar with that one.

my latest:

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

Steely Dan - Katy Lied
Simon & Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme
Paul Simon - Still Crazy After All These Years

12" singles

MAck 10 - Tight To Def/For Sale
Sticky Fingaz - Get It Up
Memphis Bleek - Do My/Get High

advance copy promo album

Memphis Bleek - The Understanding


and I thought this last one was a pretty cool find.

Marylyn Manson - Mechanical Animals

this one has 2 LPs in separate sleeves with different jacket art. one is white vinyl the other translucent blue.

It's Devo's last album from 1990. It's not one of their finer moments, but it's still alright. Definately only recommended for hardcore fans. The most well known song from it is Post Post-Modern Man. Actually, that's about the only one that's known at all.

Picked these up at the flea merket for 50 cents a piece;
Journey- Evolution
Billy Joel- The Nylon Curtain
Cheap Trick- One on One
Loverboy- Get Lucky

I did pretty decent at some garage sales, much better than I usually do anyway.  For 10 cents each I got;
Cheap Trick  Live at Budokan

Allman Brothers Band- Brothers and Sisters
Bob Dylan Greatest Hits Vol. II
Tom Petty- Damn the Torpedoes
And my favorite,  Tommy-  The Who ;D,  I've been looking for this one for a while.

Holy Crap!! that is a damn nice haul. way to go!

crosby and nash- wind on the water - funny, I picked this one up a couple days ago too.

I almost passed them up, the guy usually has crap but I spotted a Heart album in the front of one the boxes (there were probably 300 records there) and they had a sign that said 3 for $1 so I figured I'd get Heart and find 2 other decent ones, but I just kept finding great ones. Finally I had 42 in total and I knew he wouldn't want to (and probably couldn't) count that high so I offered $10 for the whole thing :laugh:

Wow, how many vinyls has everyone got in here?
I'm really, really new to collecting these. Tomorrow i'll be up to 5 with the arrival of the following two:

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c1/Bringonthedead.jpg)

    As I was listing them just now was the first time I really looked at them :laugh:
I just glanced through them at the garage sale and asked what she wanted for them all.  She told me to make an offer, so I went as low as I could- $1.  She said $2, I agreed.  Anyway, as I was going through them just now, I found a post-it note with "Albums: $1 each" written on it. 

I also finally got a working record player ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
It was in a free pile at the garage sale right before the last one with all those records. It's got a good needle in it but the belt's making some weird noises, so I'll have to open it up and see if I can fix it.  Plus it had Steve Miller- Fly Like an Eagle in it. 

very nice. you got some real good ones. Beatles stuff is hard to come by. I don't see Lennon solo stuff much either. Paul McCartney/Wings seems to be the easiest of the 4 Beatles solo stuff to find.

my last finds:

Elvis Costello - Punch The Clock
Bangles - Bangles
Duran Duran - Duran Duran
Jefferson Airplane - After Bathing At Baxters
Beach Boys - California Girls/ All Summer Long - Double Play
Beach Boys - Spirit Of America
Styx - II
Stevie Wonder - Greatest Hits
Willie Nelson - Pretty Paper

and this one I got new from Hot Topic

Panic At The Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out

you lose

I picked up a couple a few days ago. I forgot to post it until just now though.

Paul McCartney - McCartney
Laura Nyro - The First Songs
Simon and Garfunkel - Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme
Roy Wood - Boulders

I don't know. I guess I was in a mellow late 60s early 70s mood.

maybe he bought it for his pedophilia ring?

Well, I gave up on trying to fix that last record player, turns out there is no belt inside, but a rubber wheel.  The wheel had a couple chunks missing from it, so that's why it was making noise.  But, the good news is that I got another player today.  And this one actually works perfect.  It has a good needle (diamond too), an 8 track player, and cassette player.  Plus it came with two really nice Panasonic speakers and about 60 8-track tapes.  About 40 are crap that I'm trying to sell, but the rest are pretty good.  Highlights being Beatles and Bob Segar.  Best part is, that is was only $5 for everything. ;D ;D

Did pretty good today.

[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN6117.jpg[/img]



[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN6122.jpg[/img]
I can't tell if it's supposed to look like that or if some kid painted on it.  It doesn't feel like the "paint" is higher than the rest of it. 

If you want to trade/sell that Pac Man record let me know.

I couldn't find a picture of the back cover but I have to believe someone did that.

That's what I was figuring, but there's a few albums out there that look like some "graffitied" them but are supposed to be like that, so I'm not really sure.  Plus, like I said before, it looks like paint, but it doesn't feel like paint.

Well my latest records are:

Paul McCartney - Ram (surprisingly good!)
Roger McGuinn - Thunderbyrd (surprisingly bad!)
Stevie Wonder - Fufillingness' First Finale (Just about as good as I thought it was going to be!)

I'm actually starting to get a lot of records now. I don't know where I'm going to put them once my shelf gets filled up.

I'm running out of space myself.

I have that same Pac-man album. Good find. I have a small handful of records and I can't even find a place for them, so I can only imagine the headache you guys are going through now.


I always seem to run into that album and if I see it again, I'll pick it up for you.

Thanks

The box was marked $1 each, and I don't usually even bother looking if they're marked that high (my max is $0.50 per album) but I decided to skim through and I found a bunch I wanted, so I figured I'd get a bunch and make an offer.  So I picked about half the box and offered $10, they accepted.

I also picked up "20 Heavy Hits" from Goodwill last week for $0.50.   Almost all the bands on there, I've never even heard of before.  WTF is Strawberry Alarm Clock or 1910 Fruitgum Company?

I'll take a wild guess and say the Strawberry Alarm Clock song was "Incense and Peppermints". 1910 Fruitgum Company though I know the name I couldn't name a song.

what other bands are on there? Blue Cheer, Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs, Norman Greenbaum, Iron Butterfly?

Here's all the bands and the songs. 

Janis Joplin   Down On Me
The Impressions    Fool For You
Tommy James & The Shondells   Crimson & Clover
Strawberry Alarm Clock   Incense & Peppermint
Len Barry   1 2 3
The Delfonics   La La Means I love You
The Intruders   Cowboys To Girls
The Ohio Express   Down At Lulu's
The Who   Magic Bus
Ricardo Ray   Nitty Gritty
The Ohio Express   Yummy Yummy Yummy
1910 Fruitgum Company   Simon Says
Tommy James & The Shondells   Mony Mony
1910 Fruitgum Company   1 2 3 Red Light
The Turtles   She'd Rather Be With Me
Amboy Dukes   Journey To The Center Of My Mind
The Happenings   Go Away Little Girl
The Lemon Pipers   Jelly Jungle
Sonny & Cher   The Beat Goes On
The Lemon Pipers   Rice Is Nice

Amboy Dukes   Journey To The Center Of My Mind - featuring Terrible Ted Nugent.

I figured on that Strawberry Alarm Clock song, that's about the only song by them I've eve heard.

Picked up a few more today.  One garage sale had probably 500 records and I could have bought half of them, but he wanted $1 each for them and wouldn't give me any deals :grrr:

Lindsey Buckingham- Go Insane
Fleetwood Mac- Mirage
-12 Inch Specially Priced Maxi Single 
-Rumours  (The guy had 6 of these for some reason)

Michale Stanley Band- Stage Pass
Manfred Mann's Earth Band- Get Your Rocks Off
All for $1.

I wonder this myself but I doubt it. I'm actually surprised at how many LPs I've found that were stamped "promotional copy". It's got to be over 50 by now.

Not bad this weekend. I couldn't remember if I had some of these and I hate paying full price (50 cents) for an album I already have and some I didn't recognize the band, so I made an offer on the whole box.  $5 for everything:
Best Of The Doobies
Kansas- Masque
Beach Boys- Endless Summer
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band- Uncle Charlie and his dog teddy (I know I've heard the name of the band before, but I don't recognize any of there songs, but it looks like a Lynyrd Skynyrd type band, so I can't wait to listen to some of it.)
Linda Rondstat- Simple Dreams
Eagles- Hotel California
Elton John- Madman Across The Water
Richard Pryor- Live On The SUnset Strip
Fleetwood Mac- Rumours

just 3 for me this weekend but they were some nice ones...

Jimi HEndrix - Crash LAnding
BB King - Live In Cook County Jail
Doors - Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine

7'' Single:

Bruce Springsteen - Dancing in the Dark

Just a few from a garage sale this morning.
Elton John- Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player
Phil Collins- Hello, I Must Be Going
Yes- 90125
Got all 3 for $0.25

A guy at the flea market had a tub of records that were moldy and heavily damaged corners.  But I skimmed through and found a few decent ones including The Beatles' Rubber Soul. So I asked how much for a record, and he said "only $5" I laughed in his face and walked away.

well Beatles albums don't come cheap. $5 was probably not too bad depending on condition.

It was in pretty sad shape, the jacket was almost completely covered in a fine mold and was barely readable and the vinyl was pretty scratched up too.

that sucks. that should only happen to Barry Manilow albums... not the damn Beatles.

Not much this weekend. 
But I got a couple free 45's
Kool & the Gang- If you feel like dancin'/Ladies Night
Hall & Oates- Diddy Doo Wop/You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling

Also got Deep Purple's Machine Head (no jacket) for a quarter.  It was kind of funny because it was mixed in with a bunch of classical, christmas, and religious music. 

Found a garage sale with thousands of 45's for a dime each.  And I wanted to look through them all, but just didn't have the time, so I skimmed through quickly and picked these up.
Billy Joel- All ABout Sou/You picked a real bad time
-Tell her about it/Easy Money
Beatles- Revolution/ Hey Jude :)
-Got to get You into my Life/Helter Skelter
- A Hard day's night/ things we said today (does white vinyl mean it's valuable??)
-Yesterday/Act Naturally
5 man electrial badn- signs/ Hello melinda goodbye
Crosby, stills, nash- long time gone/Ohio
-Southern Cross/Into the drarkness
Elton JOhn- The Retreat/I Guess that's why they call it the blues
J. Geils Band- Rage i the Cage/Centerfld
-Flamethrower/Freeze-Frame
Foreigner- Urgent/Girl on the Moon
Badfinger- Day after Day/Money (I've never heard of this band, but my dad insisted I buy it)
Def Leppard- Lets get rocked/ miss you in a heartbeat (just noticed I got 2 of these)
Rolling Stones- Mixed Emotions/ Fancy Man Blues
-When the whip comes down/beast of burden
Heart- Tell it like it is/ strage euphoria
Bad Company- Wild Fire Woman/Feel Like Makin Love

Badfinger was one of the bands on the Beatles Apple label. I'm sure you've heard this song:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T29-VNiC3Qg

yes, colored vinyl can be valuable. it's tough to come across. nice find!!

Day after day is an awesome song, nice find.  :)

I listened to that Badfinger record, and I don't recognize the songs, but it has a good sound to it.  Very similar to The Beatles' sound. 

And I forgot to mention that a few of the records had Jukebox tags with them, so I think the guy that owned them used to have Jukeboxes. 

Payed $0.50 each for:
Three Dog Night- Captured Live at the forum
- Harmony
- Cyan
- Seven Seperate Fools (still has all 7 cards ;D)
Bachman Turner Overdrive II
Grand Funk - We're An American Band
- Cauht in the Act
Dan Fogelberg- Phoenix (The name sounded familiar but I don't recognize any songs.  Wiki says he is Rock and Folk Rock, so I can't wait to listen to him)
 45's:
Billy Joel- Modern Woman/ sleeping with the TV on
Heart- Shellshock/ These Dreams



The other day at Goodwill I was looking through the records and found The Who's Happy Jack. I was ecstatic until I realized there was no record inside the jacket :'(  I searched through the pile of loose records, but couldn't find it. 

Not so good weekend for games, but I made up for it with records :D

Got these plus a TV (see 'unrelated' post) for $12.
Grand Funk Railroad- E Pluribus Funk  (very sweet jacket)
Uriah Heep- Uriah Heep
Beatles- Rubber Soul
Savoy Brown - Hellbound Train (never heard of them, but the artwork looks neat, I'm expecting either Metal or Psychadelic)
Rolling Stones- Got Live if you Want it
Yes- The Yes Album
Rod Stewart- Every Picture tells a story
Elton John- Elton JOhn
Moody Blues- To Our Children's Children's Children  (loose record was inside Elton JOhn Jacket)
Graham Nash/ David Crosby- Graham Nash/ David Crosby

Then I got a ton of albums at a sale for $10.  I'll probably only keep half and this is them.  The rest are orchestras, plays, and the Tijuana brass. 
Rod Stewart- Smiler
- Atlantic Crossing
-Sing it again Rod
-Every Picture tells a story

Eagles- Hotel California (loose)
Beatles- Something New (loose)

 - Down to Earth

 - A1A
Asleep at the Wheel- The Wheel
David Bowie- Ziggy Stardust
Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant
War- The world is a ghetto

Some that I'm sure if I'll keep, a couple names sound familiar, but I can't place any songs.  But, most of them I've never heard of, so I'll listen to them and see if they're any good.   
Gordon Lightfoot- The very best of
 - If you could read my mind
 - summertime dream
 - classic lightfoot
James Taylor- Mud Slide Slim
JOhn Mayall- The last of the british blues
the roches- the roches
best of the british blues featuring Eric Clapton and JOhn Mayall
JOhn Prine- Pink Cadillac
 - Bruised Orange
 - Diamods in the rough
 - Sweet Revenge
 - John Prine
 - Common Sense
Outlaws- Lady in waiting
Commander Cody - Lost Planet Airmen
Ian Hunter- You're never alone with a schizophrenic
Rickie Lee JOnes- Rickie Lee Jones
 - Pirates
Carole King- Tapestry
Cat Stevens- Tea for the Tillerman
 - Teaser and the firecat
Faces- A nod is as good as a wink...

Mud Slide Slim is a great record. I listened to that a lot in college. Check out the song "Sweet Baby James." Can Stevens is also one of my favorite artists, and both of that albums you got are great. Tea for the Tillerman is particularly tremendous.

George Harrison- All things must pass

NICE!! I've been hoping to find this one.

John Mayall is great. nice blues stuff.

that Faces album is really good too. Rod Stewart on vocals.

Finally got a chance to start adding those records to my database, but I noticed something strange.
The album I listed as "The Best of the British Blues featuring Eric Clapton and John Mayall" was normal until I turned it over, which is listed as " The Best of the Humble Pie".  Now as I'm posting this I notice some of the label is in German.  British Blues says "Seite 4" which I'm assuming means side 4.  Humble Pie is "Seite 3" 
I can't figure out how this ended up in America and I want to know what was on sides 1 &2.

AMAZING day of garage sales (for records anyway)
For $0.25 each, I got:
Jim Croce - I Got A Name
Pat Benatar - Precious Time

   This guy had a garage full of records, he was apparently selling for his neighbor (who supposedly has 25 more boxes of records, probably 25 per box).  He said he sold over 250 to one lady earlier that day.

And the best deal ever,  all these for $25.

Many of these are marked "promotional copy" or something similar, and some had "WSRD" written on them with marker.  A little research revealed that WSRD was the old call letters for a local radio station.  So, the majority of these must have been from the radio station.  I don't think it makes them valuable, but it's a neat piece of history. 

Awesome Metallica Master of Puppets!

Being a bit of a classic guy myself, I have been watching this thread for a little while.  For your viewing pleasure I have attached a unique album prototype for a classic release by the group Genesis.  This was never used nor developed past this first stage of the cover art.  Yes - this is the hand painted original.

Very nice!

Very awesome! :drool:
How did you get it? 

that is sweet!

great album too.

Thanks guys... I had a friend who's father was a biggie at Atlantic (and then WEA) and scored this from him (he was a primary promoter for Genesis in the USA).

Guess Who

It was funny, my dad and I were driving down the road when he says "hey, there was some records in that pile of garbage".  So I slammed on the brakes, and then backed up to the pile.  Skimmed through the boxes, liked what I saw, and took them.

45's

these are both 45's but they have 6 songs each.

The Residents - Commercial Single
Angry Red Planet - Gawkers Paradise

 :laugh: Love the title change :laugh:

Unfortunately, I won't be buying many records in the next few months as garage sales and flea markets are coming to an end, and I'm trying to get a good bit of my collection converted over before I buy many more.  Hopefully I'll be done by spring. 

Good finds too, I love George Carlin. 

I had some sweet finds last night.

LP's

New Order - Brotherhood
Duran Duran - Notorious
U2 - Rattle And Hum

and now for the cool stuff...

Advanced Pressing - this is a plain white sleeve demo release

Julian Cope - 6 track promo sampler for the album "Peggy Suicide"

12" Singles

The Fall - I'm Frank - I don't know who these guys are but the sleeve had a real freaky picture
Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing
Nitzer Ebb - Getting Closer
Nitzer Ebb - As Is
PIL - Rise
Helmut/House of Pain - Just Another Victim
Keep on Movin' - no idea wjat this is but it was orange vinyl

10" Singles

Mercury Rev - The Hum Is Coming From Her
Primus - Pork Soda - this one is clear brown vinyl

10" LP

Helmet - Betty - this is the full album on 2 10" records

45's

The Nightblooms - Never Dream At All - never heard of these guys either but it was clear yellow vinyl complete with sleeve.

Simon and Garfunkel - Bookends

I've been looking for this album for a while. I almost got it on cd, but instead found it at the Salvation Army for 50 cents! It's very good. Really short but it stays with me a long time after listening to it.

I had another neat little 45 find last night. I did not recognize any of these bands. I believe they all are or were local bands. I picked them up because they were all complete with sleeves and colored vinyl. all 50 cents each

Barkmarket - Carjack - clear yellow
Silkworm - Slipstream - clear yellow
Transcient Waves - Heroin Jam - clear pale blue
Arson Garden - Drink A Drink Of You - clear purple
Stagnation - Truck Stop Love - clear blue
Poignant Plecostomus - The Renegade Jew - opaque marbled teal

Stopped by Goodwill during my break, and actually bought something from them for the first time in months.  It appears they purged what was an extensive collection of worthless records and Atari games.  Only a few records left and no Atari games.  But some new ones seemed to have come in since then.  I picked up these:
Journey - Departure
Heart - Dreamboat Annie
Pat Benatar - Live From Earth
Supertramp - Paris
Dave Mason - Certified Live.  I never heard of him, but bought it because he looked like a good rocker.  Turns out, I really enjoy the music.  He was in Traffic and a few other bands. There's also a couple Eagles and Jimi Hendrix covers on the album.

In other news, the woman that rang me up said that they quit writing the price on the records. ;D  I hated when they wrote a big "49" on them when they were sitting right in front of a sign that says "records: 49 cents."   

Dreamboat Annie is an awesome album. That's back when Anne Wilson was hot too.

I went up in the attic today to put some stuff away and came across my dad's old records.  They're a little moldy, but in much better shape than I would have expected. 
Santana - Abraxas
  -santana
   - santan (different from the other one)
Various artisits - Power Blues
Buddy Miles - Live
The Who - Who's Next  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Humble Pie - Eat It
   - Performance Rockin' the Filmore
The Butterfield Blues Band - In my own Dream (never heard of them)
Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles - Live
San Francisco Sampler Fall 1970 - Various Artist
Blood, sweat, and tears - child is father to the man
Black Sabbath - Paranoid (loose)
Jackets for; Jethro Tull - Aqualung and John Mayall - Live in Europe
There was also a bunch of kid's records, of which I'll keep; Pink Panther Punk and Puff the magic dragon.

He and my mom thinks there's more, but I couldn't find them.  I'm still happy with Who's Next, I've been looking for that one.

Whew.

hmmm... methinks you are a fan of 80's music.

Today: (all 12")

Kate & Anna Garrigle - Dancer With Bruised Knees
Killing Joke - Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
Morrissey - Viva Hate
Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate
Roxy Music - Country Life
Roxy Music - Manifesto

If you like 80s pop you might want to check out The Housemartins, Prefab Sprout, A-ha, (early) The Beautiful South, The Jazz Butcher.

Prefab Sprout is quite good.

I'm converting Boston 3rd Stage to mp3 as we speak.  ;D Such a great and unappreciated album. :'(

YES!! one of my favorite albums of all time.

only found one LP this weekend

Rhythm Corp - Esprit de Corps

these guys are/were a Detroit band.

How do you do your conversions?  I used to do the speakers output to microphone input way, but I'm hopefully get a USB turntable for christmas. 

I've seen those. If you do be sure to update us on how well it works. I've got a lot of vinyl that is not available on CD. be nice to make some for the car.

I definitely will, my current method has acceptable sound quality, but it takes so long to get the sound levels perfect.  I have to set the volume on the turntable, then on the receiver and then the microphone for the computer. If it's not just right, the songs are too quiet or get distorted. 

I wonder if any cars ever came with a record player built in?

http://www.imperialclub.com/Repair/Accessories/HiWay/invent.htm

I'm already into a-ha, but I'll give Prefab Sprout a try. They seem interesting enough...

Alice Cooper - From The Inside
Alice Cooper - Flush The Fashion
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Joe Jackson - Night and Day
The Kinks - Arthur
Cream - The Best Of

I use the speakers output to microphone input at 45 rpm for everything. Then, using Audacity, I slow the speed down to 33 1/3. Check out Audacity, its a great audio editing software, and its free!

I do use Audacity, and love it. I had the trial version of Goldwave and it is an amazing program but it's not worth it to buy.  The only thing it has that Audacity doesn't is a really good click/pop remover, but I find it's not too bad removing them by hand. 
I've thought about recording at 45rpm and then slowing it down, but I figured it would lose quality. Plus, I like to listen to the record as it records. 

I did get a USB turntable for Xmas, and it does work nicely.  It's a cheaper model, but it sounds just as good if not better than my old one.  It comes with a program that is really simple to use, but you can't do any editing in it.It just records it, you break it up into tracks, and then it puts it into your iTunes. For the "advanced" users who want to edit, it also has Audacity with it.
I'm not sure why yet, but I can't get Audacity to record the audio through the USB cable, so I recorded Dave Mason's "Certified Live" using my old method and it did come out better sounding than with my old turntable.
While I connected my new turntable, I changed my whole audio set up. I may put up some pictures of it.

The main part of the setup, my new Ion USB turntable, with an awesome receiver and speakers I got at a garage sale for $10.
[img width=700 height=676]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/recordsetup1.jpg[/img]

My old turntable that I use for 8-tracks and playing records because the USB one isn't really loud.
[img width=700 height=360]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/recordsetup2.jpg[/img]

And some more speakers. When I did this I realized Ethernet cable makes for awesome speaker cable.
[img width=700 height=321]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/recordsetup3.jpg[/img]

that's beautiful man! the sad thing is that a couple of those albums in your pictures (38 Special - Special Forces & Pat Benetar - Live From Earth) I bought when they came out.

so you collect 8-Tracks too? That format has not aged as well as vinyl. Much like my cassettes many of the few 8-Tracks I have are unplayable.

I'm sure those aren't the only ones, everything in my collection is some form of Rock.

I don't collect 8-tracks as actively, the majority of the ones I have are my dad's old ones. I also got a bunch when I bought that older record player, about 1/3 of which I kept. Whenever I find them in range of free - $0.25 I buy them. I've got around 50 of them at the moment.
I've got a few of them that the ribbon broke, but the majority are good, I really should copy them before they do rot.
I actually prefer them to cassettes because of the way they are split up into tracks, it makes them so much easier to listen to the song you want to. As you can see in that one pic, I don't have many cassettes (and the majority of those are blank recordable tapes) because I despise the format so much.

nabbed a few more Tuesday night:

Wings - Back to the Egg
Paul Simon - In Concert Live Rhymin'

I wouldn't even want something like that, I just wouldn't feel right owning something that awesome.

Goodwill got some new records for the first time in months, not much good stuff though. All I got was;
Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin
$1,000,000 Music Match-Up: A Limited Edition Album from 7UP and CBS. There's a wide variety on it, from Willie Nelson to Journey to The Jacksons.

Goodwill got a bunch of new records in, mostly country, there was a lot of Willie Nelson and Hank Williams, but I didn't buy any of them. I did manage to pick out a few more my style.
Pete Townshend - Chinese Eyes $0.50
Genesis - A Trick of the Trail $0.50
Steely Dan - Aja $0.50
Crosby, Stills, and Nash- Replay $0.50
Jackson Browne - Late For the Sky $0.50
Jackson Browne - For Everyman $0.50
The Kinks - Give the people what they want $0.50
Jackson Browne - Lives in the Balance $0.50
Allman Brothers Band - At Fillmore East $1. More than what I like to pay for a record, but I think that one is worth it.
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Live Alive $1

They had a Beatles' Hard Day Night for $4 in the display case at the register but it was in pretty sad shape, so I passed on it. Hopefully they noticed that a record collector passed on it and will mark it down, so I grab it for cheap.

I almost had that Allman Brothers album a few weeks ago. It was missing and LP though.

wow... haven't posted any record finds in a while. here's a few:

Rod Stewart - Camoflage
Pete Townshend - White City
The Grass Roots - Golden Grass
Soundtrack - The Hobbit

Shriekback - Big Night Music
Terence Trent D'Arby - Introducing The Hardline According To Terrence Trent D'Arby
Deodato - Prelude

Den I found an auction for you and NES_Rules to split.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320230084120

cool! I think I got 1.5 mil in my piggy bank at home.

Awesome I have 1.5mil in my piggy bank. Want to go in on it?

I don't even see the point in buying something like that. What the hell do you do with? Put it in a huge warehouse and go "oooh"? And then you own nearly everything, so you have nothing to go hunting for.

a good chunk of it is probably stuff I wouldn't even want.

and the no need to hunt anymore factor is a huge reason not to buy it. the hunt is main reason I collect anything.

Definitely. I only collect Rock, and sure, I could sell off everything that I don't want, but that would be SO much work.
And the seller says it would make a good museum. I don't really think it would, mass amounts of records just don't look that amazing on shelves.

I can't even make myself sell off  the hundred or so doubles I have of video games.

It would be for a museum.  I would never really care to have all that but it sure would be neat. Thats a lot of history. Lots of stuff that will never be redone on to a new format.

I was flipping through a box of records that I've been trying to sell, all junk that I've picked up with the good stuff. Or so I thought it was all junk. For some reason, I never listened to the Ozark Mountain Daredevils album, but I did today, and it was pretty good, I'll definitely be keeping it. It's a southern sounding band similar to Skynyrd but slightly less Rock. They have a pretty unique sound and I'll definitely be looking for more of their records in the future.

Picked up a couple over the weekend

Rubicon
Runner

Last week, I picked up about 30 classic rock records from our neighbor's yard sale. Total price: free!! A lot of them are in quite good condition, but a few are in 'I will not put that on my turntable!' shape. Even a couple of beatles records. I'll edit this with a complete list in a little while... :D

Very nice haul today, they're not in the best condition, but it all looks playable.
For $4:
Rush - 2112
The Who -who are you
cars - candy-o
Led Zeppelin - III (That's got to be one of the sweetest covers, ever!)
The tubes - T.R.A.S.H. (Never heard of 'em before)
Kansas - two for the show
Elton John - Blue Moves
Sweet - desolation boulevard
George Carlin - take offs and put ons
journey - infinity
Foghat - night shift
Nazareth - hair of the dog
queen - jazz
foghat - Live
Styx - II
the greatest of the guess who
queen - greatest hits
doobie bros - the captain and me
foghat - energized
foghat - stone blue

He had a couple hundred more, but I left them because I had most of them and the others were in just too bad of shape.

Also, I got this really nice record player for free.
[img width=700 height=524]http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j22/Mike_2_0_0_6/DSCN9574.jpg[/img]My mom was looking for one for her work for a project, so she asked everyone in the office if they had one. So someone gave her this one, I'm keeping it and I'll give my mom another (cheap) one that I have.
She also had a bunch of records that she was going to give me because "no one wants this stuff these days" until some idiot told her she could sell them on eBay. So it looks like they'll be going to eBay. Hopefully, she'll decide it's not worth the trouble and give (or sell cheaply) them to me instead.

All the records listed and the one thing that interests me is the record player.  Then again, having a small collection of clasical music, I've already got stuff I'd want to listen to.  Just need to get lucky and find someone selling something to play it on.

Wow, I forgot all about this thread, I miss posting in it :P
Nice find Rob. Some VERY good stuff in there. Especially the Badfinger 45, their stuff is pretty hard to find anymore, very under appreciated group IMO.

whoa. I haven't posted in this thread in a LONG time, and I have stll beem picking up records.

nice find! Beatles stuff is hard to come by. Did your Sgt. Peppers still have the paper cutouts insert? I still wish I hadn't cut mine out as a kid.

^ lol i was thinking the same thing.
I was wondering if you guys has stopped picking vinyl up.

I have. I just ran out of room for it and I don't even have the space to set up the player properly so I just quit buying them. I'll probably go through and sell off a lot of stuff that I've already recorded, stuff I have on CD and stuff I'll never listen to.

I didn't knew this topic existed!

Next time I pick up some vinyls, I'll post em here. :)

Fun to see it come up again

Vinyl is the best

Anyone have any suggestions on selling records if you don't have a record player to test them? I was considering getting into vinyl for awhile and found some first print punk records from California thrift stores. Stuff like China White, DI, The Dickies, and The Business. I since decided I'd rather not start another collection, but I feel like going to a record store I'd probably just get ripped off.

I'm going to guess a record shop in California isn't going to leave much room for profit.
But, records generally don't need to be tested, just looking at them is enough for mos buyers. Generally, if the defect is going to cause a skip, you can see it.

Just googled Prissy Clerks because I loved the name. I think I have a new favorite band for the moment. Thanks man. Awesome.

I'll probably just list them on eBay then with a bunch of pictures, or if the NintendoAge Garage sale comes up again try to trade them for games. Thanks =)
