i would not hesitate to buy that for a dollar

First dollar-bin dig in a while. The bins round these parts have been very dry of late; everything that used to be a dollar is now $5+ due to the vinyl boom. Was pleasantly surprised today by:
Love Tractor - This Ain't No Outerspace ShipThe Tubes - The Completion Backwards PrincipleBig Country - SteeltownSqueeze - Sweets From a StrangerAngel City - DarkroomDire Straits - EPGraham Parker & the Shot - Steady Nervesand best of all: Keith Jarrett - Staircase (jacket and sleeves a little rough but vinyl is 100%)

Score! $2 ea:Bill Frisell - RamblerThe Jazz Butcher Conspiracy - Distressed Gentlefolk
― hardcore dilettante, Thursday, 26 March 2015 20:05 (nine years ago) link
Distressed Gentlefolk is great! Any Love Tractor for a dollar is a steal! Good finds!
My last good dollar find was the Grateful Dead's Terrapin Station, but that was months back.

Had a blast listening to Distressed Gentlefolk last night for the first time in many moons. Almost every song is a modest gem.

Went to the big record show this morning. Got three interesting political LPs, all sealed and all $5 from a guy I worked with 30 years ago (in a record store, where else?):
LBJ in the CatskillsPortrait of Adlai Stevenson (long interview from '56; the LP came out in '60)Eisenhower
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41kAAXWSGfL.jpg
Haven't played them yet, so I don't know if the last actually has Nixon on it, or just someone reading his words.
Also: The Best of Ronnie Dove ($5), The Very Best of Del Reeves ($4, sealed), Matthew Sweet's Sunshine Lies ($10, but still sealed and a double), and a few $2 CDs. Among the latter, Final Damnation, which I thought was a best-of from the track listing (pointless in any case, seeing as I already have a two-LP Damned compilation), but turns out to be a live reunion show from '88. Even at $2, I nominate this as the most ill-advised purchase in the entire history of recorded music.

Bought a record collection that was mainly comprised of excellent-to-dreary mid-70s boogie rock (T-Rex & ZZ Top to Status Quo and some of the Pretty Things' lesser efforts) plus a few outliers. The big surprise for me was The Only Ones - I'd never heard them before & they're great!

at the LC Store the other day i was buying VHS cos they were 60 cents. i brought a stack of like 12 to the counter and she said oh it's 4 for a dollar.
one of the tapes was something called "MOODTAPES" that has a very Miami Vice looking font on the front and the back has white typeface on black looking like a science book from the 80s or something, with shots of sunsets and timelapse cloud footage. the music is incredible. i'll definitely put it on youtube eventually but i think if i slow it down it may become a chillwave classic.

I used to manage Tunes in Hoboken. The pricing was/is based entirely on the going rate on amazon per item. That's why used stuff is all sorts of strangely priced. Funny cause they have the software that adjusts the online listing of the item, but they won't reprice the label until they do like a 6 month aged inventory. Therefore sometimes there ends up being large discrepancies between the in-store price and the online listing of the same item.
