got the first chad's tree album today for $35.. not a bargain but since i've never seen it for under $75 it felt like one

$1 LPs today:

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great purchases for a buck or less

black sabbath - sabotage

bob james - the genie
buck owens - before you go

The Wolfetones - Teddy Bear's Head
The Wolfetones - Rifles of the IRA

I think the local AOH must have made a donation the friends of the library bookstore.

oh man, that wolfetones "rifles of the ira" record is a fave!

3 dollar records today:

deep purple - who do we think we are?
rita coolidge - s/t

cool stuff! wait, are you me? no, wait, i'm me. i got confused for a second there...

only cuz it kinda sums up my brain in one record haul.

grouper -- dragging a dead deer up a hill
don cherry/latif khan -- music/sangam
alice cooper -- easy action (reissue)

i just won on ebay--
v/a - banjo pickin gal (rounder records)
the original carolina tar heels (old homestead records)

and i won a few weeks ago and am waiting for two LPs on Yazoo--
joe venuti - violin jazz
the young big bill broonzy

joe venuti - violin jazz

good stuff

i have the Venuti/Lang box set on Mosaic. but it is CD :( ( i think tbat was from aftet they stopped pressing LPs. which was a total bummer event in the history of the universe)

I'm jumping up and down about one I just won!

I'm not saying until it's in, but HEY!

there's sooooo much venuti/lang stuff out there. i'd passed up the yazoo lp before cuz it was too pricey, but the copy i won was only $6, so i figure what the hell let's do it.

Here's a small sampling of the dumpster records now piled up in front of the stereo. I kept about 500 LPs from my haul (mostly easy-listening) put out the rest in our tag sale, sold a few and took the rest to Salvation Army.

Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

Hot Chocolate - Cicero Park

New Riders of the Purple Sage - The Adventures of Panama Red

Malo - Evolution

Chuck Berry - Best of

Chuck Berry - London Sessions

George Benson - Weekend in L.A. (sealed)

Tomita - Greatest Hits

Jose Feliciano - Feliciano!

Gilda Radner - Live in New York

Joan Baez - Joan Baez

Michael Murphey - Geronimo's Cadillac

Pete Seeger - How to Play the 5-String Banjo

Pete Seeger - Freight Train

Four Freshmen - Voices in Modern

Mahalia Jackson - Great Songs of Love and Faith

Count Basie - Straight Ahead

Adrian Belew - Desire Caught By The Tail

Loggins & Messina - Native Sons

Traffic - The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys

the weirdest one (which i didn't keep) was a 2-record set of Harry Chapin doing radio spots for Social Security called "Keep the Change". One of his songs would play, then he'd rap about SocSec benefits like how widows can collect or how to file for disability insurance. hip, strange but a total snoozer...

six of these cool environmental records in a series I was not familiar with ("Solitudes").

What do you think of these? The ones I have heard have been really boring imo (but still better than really boring emo). They are almost cool in a lol70s those hippies will smoke to anything exploito sense.

I got a Swamp Dogg 45 for a quarter this morning, plus some other stuff.

Picked up the Bob Frank album at ian's store. Thank you, Vanguard thread.

Today:

"I'd buy that for a dollar!" Great purchases for a buck or less

omar: no, not SFTRI editions, these are V2.

los blue jeans: haven't listened yet but I use environmental records to back other stuff while DJ-ing, so they don't really need to stand on their own. I was intrigued by many of their recording locations, and they were in great shape for a quarter each, so...

OMD - S/T
Roxy Music - Country Life (missing boobs on cover)
Yellow Magic Orchestra - S/T (uhhh, I never knew there was singing on "Tong Poo"! I had only heard material from this album on best of's and mixtapes, and the singing on the original version makes it one of my fav YMO songs now)
R.E.M. - Chronic Town
Microstoria - Reprovisers (just the record with Stereolab/Endless Summer and Oval/Microstoria Runtime Engine)
Altered Images - Pinky Blue
Devo - Are We Not Men? We Are Devo

Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead
Grateful Dead - Europe '72
Grateful Dead - Dead Set
Grateful Dead - S/T
Grateful Dead - S/T (Skull & Roses live one)

if anyone ever illustrates me posthumously as a warrior riding a white horse, jousting an evil dragon, I will have known that my life was relatively successful

OTM.

even for the V2 editions that's a solid deal, i think those might be oop at this point also

"coil - love's secret domain"

$3 dollars or under for this???? sweeeeeeeeet.

went to some old couple's house today cuz they had an ad in the paper for "records - classical to country - 10 cents each". so cute. got 20 records, but i gave them FOUR dollars instead of two cuz i'm such a nice guy. everything they had was super-clean and most of it in the shrink. plus, almost every record had multiple library of congress cards inside of them as well as the local community college's library i.d. slips. but no unsightly college library markings or tags on the covers. clean as a whistle.
