Den's Record Thread - How many records did Den or NES_Rules buy today?

[den68]

when I was out riding my bike this morning I spotted a huge box of records that someone put out with the trash. it was dark so I figured I'd take a closer look. I enede up hauling the whole load home, about 100 albums. all are in decent shape. some of the bands include: Queen, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, the Doors, Rolling Stones and Clapton.

all free! woo hoo!

Wow, I can't believe that someone would throw away that many albums!  Nice haul!

[atari_wizard]

Bill Cosby - To Russell my Brother Whom I Slept With

Random...?

[den68]

not sure what you mean.

[CatchFiveBats]

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.

[den68]

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.

[Tynstar]

Those are some good records. Very nice!

[den68]

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.

[Lord Nepenthean]

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.

[den68]

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.

[Sauza12]

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.

[den68]

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.
