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?

[den68]

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?

[NES_Rules]

Here's all the bands and the songs. 

Janis Joplin   Down On Me
The Impressions    Fool For You

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

[NES_Rules]

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

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

[den68]

-Tusk/Never Make Me Cry (12" single)  It says "Promotional Copy", do you think it's worth something? 

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.

Rod Stewart - Greatest Hits - Vol 1
MArshal Tucker Band - Carolina Dreams
Graham NAsh - SOngs FOr BEginners

Romantics - Rhythm Romance
Romantics - NAtional Breakout
Romantics - Strictly Personal

Survivor - Premonition
John Cougar - American Fool
John Cougar MEllencamp - Uh-Huh
John Cougar Mellencamp - Scarecrow

45" - Joan Jett - I love Rock n Roll

[NES_Rules]

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.)

Richard Pryor- Live On The SUnset Strip
Fleetwood Mac- Rumours

[NES_Rules]

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.

[den68]

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