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

Ferrante & Teicher made some great records between 56-59 but anything after that is mostly what Gorge said

12" singles:
Simon Harris : Bass (How Low Can You Go)
Cyré : Last Chance
DJ Miko : Hot Stuff

Yeah, the Ferrante & Teacher LP I bought was indeed awful (beyond the "Midnight Cowboy" theme, at least, which I already own on 45.)

$1 each vinyl, Thrift City and Recycled Reads, today:

Dire Straits Twisting By The Pool (Warner Bros. EP 1983)
Rude Girls Rude Awakening (Flying Fish 1987 - folk not reggae apparently despite the name, but looks potentially interesting in a lesbian Roches sort of way, not that I'd bet on it or anything)
Gino Soccio Closer (Atlantic 1981)

25 cents each cassettes, Thrift City

Nirvana Bleach (Sub Pop 1989)
Redd Kross Neurotica (Big Time 1987)

Today's haul from a Berlin flea market includes Cameo's "Word Up," Big Daddy Kane's "I'll Take You there" and Steve Miller Band's "Abracadabra" (why not?), the Doobie Bros' "Takin' It to the Streets," some underwhelming mid '90s house records on Nite Grooves and Junior Boy's Own; two compilations of German birdsong, "Vogelstimme Unserer Heimat" vols. 1 and 2; and one absolute gem:

Rupie Edwards + various vocalists, "Yamaha Skank" (Success, 1974)

Really nice dub reggae featuring titles like "Doctor Satan Echo Chamber" and "Half Way Tree Pressure." Awesome.

Apparently the first single-riddim album, according to this: http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1863
More info: "Slim Smith and the Uniques cut My Conversation for Bunny Lee in the late 1960s, in 1974 Lee sold the rhythm to producer Rupie Edwards who then made an album titled Yamaha Skank from twelve versions of that rhythm, the album was a first of it's kind. This is the opening track from the album which kicks off with the words 'Welcome to doctor Satan's echo chamber'."

Also, that vintage store I found that Animals LP at last week was at Burnett and Research/183, not North Cross, duh. What was I thinking?

Same Berlin flea market, all between 50 cents and 1 euro. Today's pick is undoubtedly the Flash & the Pan record:

Bark-Kays, Contagious (1987)
Black Sabbath, Live Evil (Phonogram, 1983)
Ian Dury, New Boots and Panties (Stiff, 1977)
Flash & the Pan, s/t (Mercury, 1979)
- has awesome version (I guess the original) of "Walking in the Rain," which I only knew from Grace Jones
John Foxx, Metamatic (Virgin, 1980)
- how did I miss this as a 14-year-old new wave kid? It would have blown my mind.
Gruppo Sportivo, Pop! Goes the Brain (Ariola, 1981)
Bo Hansson, Magician's Hat (Charisma, 1973?)
- psyche/folk
Omega, Time Robber (Bellaphon, 1976)

Rheingold, s/t (EMI, 1980)
- produced by Conny Plank, FWIW
Sade, Diamond Life (CBS, 1984)

Klaus Schulze, Elektronik-Impressionen (Amiga, 1982)
Gino Soccio, Closer (Atlantic, 1981)
Sparks, Kimono My House (Island, 1974)
Spinners, Working My Way Back to You (Atlantic, 1979)
Talking Heads, "Road to Nowhere" 12" (1985)
Talking Heads, '77 (Sire, 1977)

- very stoked to discover this, as I was just listening to "I'm Not In Love" after reading Oneohtrix Point Never talking about it in the Wire
XTC, Drums and Wires (Virgin, 1979)

There were more, including a few Russian records whose covers I liked, but I'm too lazy to type the rest. I actually bought so many records today that I had to buy a plastic satchel just to cart them home in. A good day at the market! Also, I have proof that it hasn't yet become overrun by hipsters, because the M.C. Hammer record is still there, three weeks after my previous visit. (I'm kidding... kind of.)

I keep meaning to add my various Amoeba hauls here over time. Had a good run there the other day -- and I didn't have to pay for any of it thanks to store credit. Got a few in 'regular' clearance for $3 or less -- Rush, Snakes and Arrows, Cowboy Junkies, Rarities, B-Sides and Slow Sad Waltzes, Sinead O'Connor, Universal Mother, Silver Jews, Starlite Walker, a couple of others -- and the rest of this was $1 or less, some at the suggestion of the similarly scrounging the bins Jeff T:

Sunburned Hand of the Man, No Magic Man

That's a really good find for $1 -- I think it's limited to ~1,000 or so copies, like a lot of Sunburned stuff. I eBayed my copy for $15 or so at a time I needed the cash.

Am avoiding record and thrift stores for the time being as I wade through a huge box of discard vinyl Metal Mike sent me a couple weeks back, but I happened to be in Half-Price Books looking for birthday presents yesterday, and this was in the front of the $1 LPs, so:

Steeleye Span Storm Force Ten (Chrysalis 1977)

Thrones, Day Late, Dollar Short

There's something poetic about buying this used for $1.
(Also, great find! Love me some Thrones.)

Yep, that's a great disc.

$1 vinyl each (except where noted*), $19 total, two flea markets just off I-35 between San Marcos and San Antonio today:

Aztec Camera - High Land Hard Rain (Sire 1983)
BB&Q (Brooklyn Bronx and Queens) Band - self-titled (Capitol 1981 -- only one of these that looks in really questionable condition, fwiw)
Big Black - Message To Our Ancestors (Uni 1967 -- not the Steve Albini Big Black, obviously, the ethno-jazz or whatever one, though didn't they have a Chicago connection too? Need to investigate that)
Peabo Bryson - The Peabo Bryson Collection (Capitol 1984 -- nervously dipping a toe into '80s urban contemporary quiet storm waters here; passed up the Jeffrey Osbourne LP with "I Really Don't Need No Light" though; opinions about it welcome)
Celibate Rifles - Quintessentially Yours (Hot/What Goes On 1985 -- made my Pazz & Jop top 10 the year it came out, and later my metal book; can't believe I found a cheap copy of this again)
Con Funk Shun - Fever (Polygram 1983)
Andrae Couch & The Disciples - Soulfully (Light 1972 -- Waco, TX label; don't buy hardly any gospel but this looked cool)
Lefty Frizell - Lefty Frizell's Greatest Hits (Columbia 1966 -- nice LP cover)
J.J. Fad - Supersonic: The Cassette* (Atlantic cassette 1988 - 50 cents)
Gap Band - The Gap Band II (Total Experience 1979)
Merle Haggard - A Tribute To The Best Damn Fiddle Player In The World (Capitol 1970 -- Bob Wills covers; used to own this, got rid of it for some reason)
Z.Z. Hill - Let's Make A Deal (Columbia 1978)
Millie Jackson - Live And Uncensored* (Spring double LP 1979, $2.00)
Mtume - Juicy Fruit (Epic 1983)
Renaissance - Camera Camera (I.R.S. 1981 -- have never connected with them before, but this looks so new wave; had no idea that they made a new wave move before)
Shalamar - Heartbreak* (Solar cassette 1984 -- 50 cents)
Status Quo - Rockin' All Over The World (Vertigo West Germany 1977)
Wild Cherry - Wild Cherry (Epic 1976 - w/ "Play That Funky Music")
(Various) - Wild In The Streets soundtrack (Tower 1968 - "Shape Of Things To Come" credited to The 13th Power instead of Max Frost and The Troopers for some reason, weird)

A stellar day at the Goodwill today:

Francoise Hardy-Voila lp (German Philips) 1969

v/a Irrepressible Impulses (Impulse 1972) **subtitle-A potpourri of energized tracks designed to satisfy your insatiable need for growth music.***

Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger Open LP (1968, Atco)

25-cent cassettes
Bobby Brown - Don't Be Cruel (MCA 1988)
Terri Gibbs - Turn Around (Canaan/Word 1987 - Christian/gospel move?)
Amy Grant - The Collection (Word 1986 -- a best-of of her Xtian period, I gather; they also had cassetes of a few of the original pre-secular-sellout albums, but I wasn't sure which one to start with: How good is Lead Me On -- two different LP/cassette covers -- for instance?)
Uriah Heep - The Magician's Birthday (Castle West German reissue from 1986)

today, for $1.10 total, i bought:

- Shake - Mood Music for the Moody EP (TWO COPIES. MINT)
- X-Press 2- Muzikizum 12"
- Propaganda- A Secret Wish LP
- La Tour- Cold 12"

- The Paper Tulips- Baker's Dozen
- Clara Hill- Nowhere (I Can Go) 12"
- Cassie- Me & U 12"
- Hooters- Nervous Night
- William Ackerman- Passage

Yeah. It's nice having a boyfriend who works in a gigantic junk warehouse.

the X-Press 2 record is particularly rockin tribal shit.

I bought some stuff for $3.99 apiece today. I need to visit more dollar bins. :(

A while back I got Joe Byrd & The Field Hippies for a buck! Pretty beat... but it plays ok. And I sold a copy of "Da Capo" for $1 today. Same story.

I just picked up:

Orbital - In Sides (original US 2xCD with "Time Flies" and "The Box" EPs)
U2 - Zooropa
The KLF - White Room

Kind of lol that it's 2010 and I'm buying Zooropa.

Two summers ago, when I was working at a summer camp in Wisconsin, I picked up a three-movies-for-three-dollars pack (one dollar per movie) and never got around to watching the presumably terrible films: Texas Justice (w/ Heather Locklear), Sleep Murder (w/ Jason Priestly) and something else...Frank Sinatra, maybe?

Anyhow, just watched Texas Justice with a friend of mine and for a two-part, three-hour TV movie about trophy wives, murder, entrapment and hung juries, it's pretty sublime/hilarious.

Best dollar I've spent in recent memory.

Oh shit, this is on ILM. Lawlz.

So, does not apply.

Kind of lol that it's 2010 and I'm buying Zooropa

album is underrated as hell, imo

and insides is like one of the ten best albums of the 90s, so goddamn i envy anyone who gets to hear it for the first time

Orbital - In Sides (original US 2xCD with "Time Flies" and "The Box" EPs)
U2 - Zooropa
The KLF - White Room

Kudos, these are all fantastic. Better late than never (I've had Zooropa for about 10 years, In Sides for 7-8, and just got the KLF album maybe 6 months ago -- no shame!).

I just listened to it for the first time and it has this amazing balance of reaching forward and reaching backward at the same time in a way that I don't really hear often (or maybe it was just produced on the cusp of a new era). "The Girl w/ the Sun in Her Head" = A+ + + +

Top Drawer Thrift on Burnett, today $1:

The Three Degrees - self-titled (Philadelphia International 1973)

Breakaway Records, $1 each, today:

Birtha - Birtha (ABC/Dunhill 1972)

Dionne Warwick - Dionnne (Warner Bros 1972 - w/ "Hasbrook Heights")*

* - Used to own all of these before, in past lives, but got rid of them

Passed up: Albums by Mom's Apple Pie and Wrabbit, plus the second Flash & the Pan LP (any good? any of them?), among other things.

Also passed up a copy of the first 4 Out Of 5 Doctors LP from 1980 I saw today at a garage sale, because they wanted $5 for it. Really want that thing, too, but I have principles.

is the second flash and the pan "lights in the night"? haven't heard that one, but i have "Headlines" and it's pretty great. almost as good as the first. jetsetter's ball is pretty great

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RU4QDd2on0

chuck i might have that 4 out of 5 doctors album. if i do i'll send it to you. that cheetah album grew on me over the years.

That'd be awesome, Scott! And yeah, re: Flash & the Pan, I definitely meant Lights In The Night (which, come to think of it, I'm not positive was their second LP after all.)

http://www.instromania.net/PHO/comp/G/comp%20-%20Golden%20Goodies%20Vol%2013%20Instrumental.jpg

Got this, four Asleep At The Wheel LPs (including oddities on Edsel and Stony Plain) and Last Roundup "Twister" (Amy Rigby's 80s cowpunk band, she looks so young on this!) $1 each, Animal Ark Thrift & Pet Store.

$1, Thrift City

Chris Rea - Whatever Happened To Benny Santini (United Artists 1978)

I thought I lost interest in collecting vinyl but recently I have an interest in oldies, if in good condition.

Someone dumped a bunch of them off at a local resale shop.

J. Geils Band - Love Stinks (EMI 1980)
Millie Jackson - Free And In Love (Spring 1976)
The Kingbees - The Kingbees (RSO 1980)

Had a really fantastic day in the stacks yesterday. So much gold that (even at $1 each) I had to postpone my purchase of the Oneida triple-decker til next paycheque. Mainly corny/local/regional vanity stuff from the 50s to 80s (I'm building a collection) which I won't list here (many hithertofore unknown to the internet: the final frontier etcetera), but also:

Baker Gurvitz Army S/T (ringwear, sadly)

KISS - Hotter than Hell
Alice Cooper - Love it to Death and Welcome to my Nightmare
Dokken - Tooth and Nail and Under Lock & Key

Santana - S/T
David Lee Roth - Skyscraper

and two impossibly thick slabs:
Georgie Auld - Plays for Melancholy Babies (near mint)
Flip Phillips Quintet - S/T (features Oscar Peterson and Buddy Rich) (sleeve excellent, LP VG only)

I never really find much in *true* $1 bins but I did get a few relatively cheap CDs yesterday:

Aphex Twin - Drukqs - $3
Baroness - Blue Record (OOP 2xCD version w/ live EP) - $4
Beastie Boys - Root Down EP - $2
Kate Bush - Aspects of the Sensual World EP - $2

The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde - $2
Lou Reed - Sally Can't Dance - $3
Wooden Wand and the Sky High Band - Second Attention - $4

what?? where? great deals there.

i only found that interesting as i dont buy vinyl, but a cd every now and then (if the album is car-worthy, and has good cover art... me being vain)

$1 each vinyl, Breakaway today (it's close to home, and next to a coffee shop I sometimes get work done at, so I keep going back):

Regina Belle - All By Myself (Columbia 1987)
Flash Cadillac And the Continental Kids -- Sons Of The Beaches (Private Stock 1975)
James Blood Ulmer - Freelancing (Columbia 1981)

And oh yeah, I also bought a Keith Whitley best-of CD for $1 at a garage sale a couple weeks ago, but haven't gotten to it yet.

Caterwaul - Pin & Web

Love this, just dug it out of the stacks for a spin a couple weeks ago.

First Pretty Things LP
Sandie Shaw -Me
Ike and Tina Turner Show Live!

All a euro

Dollar Cds from Movie Exchange clearance bin:

James - Laid

The Gun Club - Fire of Love
Spin Doctors - Pocket Full of Kryptonite
Tinted Windows - s/t
Percy Mayfield - Specialty Profiles (w/bonus label sampler)

Some of this I wouldn't have paid any more for (hello spin docs). I also got what's Up, Tiger lily? on dvd for 2 bucks and the The Isleys - Live on cd for 3. I think The Gun Club album covers the lot though--an old price tag on it says 15 used, so bless you impatient clerk who reduced it.

I just watched Tiger Lily over the weekend for the first time in ages. It seemed way funnier/better when I was a teenager.

$1 yard sale joy:
Allman Brothers--Fillmore East, pink Capricorn label
Betty Davis--S/T
Uriah Heep--S/T
Neil Young--On the Beach-old pressing, "wallpaper" inside the sleeve
Jimmy Giuffre 3--7 Pieces
Art Blakey--Live Messengers 2LP Blue Note Jazz Classic Series thing
Roy Buchanan--Second Album
Barry Manilow--Sealed Greatest Hits Double Picture Disc?!

All in fantastic shape

$1 yard sale sorrow:
Ornette Coleman--Town Hall 1962 on ESP--not a mark on the ultra-heavy vinyl platter, but it's warped :(

$1 each, Pirahna Records, Round Rock TX today

Addrisi Brothers - s/t (Buddah 1977 -- supposedly country-disco, I read someplace)
The Babys - s/t (Chrysalis 1977)
Hurby's Machine - The House That Rap Built (Sound Check/Next Plateau 1987 - w/ a Salt N Pepa "Push It" remix and lots of other productions from them by lesser known acts. Looks a little scratchy, but I took a chance)
The Jags - Evening Standards (Island 1980 - with all-time early-Costello Xerox almost-hit "Back Of My Hand")
Loose Ends - A Little Space (MCA 1983 - w/ "Hangin' On A String")
Mazz - Standing Ovation (It's A Killer) (Cara 1984 - San Antonio indie label border music; pretty sure he/they were a big deal in that world, plus it has a "Disco Medley")
Bobby Naranjo Y Direccion - Put Me In Jail (Hacienda 1984 - Corpus Christi indie label border music; never heard of them before but the album title and cover photo makes me think they might be tough guys)
John Parr - s/t (Atlantic 1984 - w/ Billy Squier Xerox hit "Naughty Naughty")
Rosetta Stone - s/t (Private Stock 1978 - (Bay City Rollers types maybe?? w/ Kinks and Cream covers)
Space - Magic Fly (United Artists 1977 -- already had a copy; figured it might be profitable to get another one)
Rachel Sweet - Blame It On Love (Columbia 1982)
Pat Travers - Putting It Straight (Polydor 1977)

Passed up the second Widowmaker LP from 1977 because their debut didn't kill me; the Jigsaw LP with "Sky High" on it (think I maybe bought it before and didn't like it?), some late-period Little Anthony & the Imperials LP; sundry other things. (Also passed up cassettes by Chris Rea, Snap, Alexander O'Neal, etc., that I would've bought if they'd been selling for 50 cents instead of $1)

Also picked up five 1967-1970 copies of Look magazine in great shape at a garage sale for $1 total (20 cents each), including ones with Diana Ross and Joan Baez on the cover, one where Jim Bouton talks about Ball Four, and ones featuring the cover headlines "The Hippies: A Look writer who joined them reports on their wild, weird ways" and "How Can You Tell If Your Child Is Taking Drugs?"
