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

really digging this cd by a northern chorus. never heard them before.

as in: i'm totally gonna keep this northern chorus cd.

Circle are fun. how come i never listen to Circle?

Lots of things I love in there. Great find!

my pal from another record store was right next to me the whole time. he got just as much good stuff. enough for everybody though.

I really like Lenola a lot but you might not? The Swerving Corpse is super wonky. A Northern Chorus sounds nice. Haven't ever listened to them, or not since 2003 when they would probably come on some early internet radio stations I used to check out. They seem familiar is all.

Wow, Morgen on CD! And for a dollar!

Broken by Whispers! And SmAlLer!

AmAnSet, even!

i was really enjoying Lenola today! i never really listened to them much.

guys i knew in philly back then who were in the band aspera ad astra loved all that stuff.

kinda hoping when i saw this stuff today that there was some stars of the lid lurking in the boxes but nope.

The Sunbeam Morgen reissue is official I think. Great lp anyway, they put out Dragonfly around teh same time too.

morgen i got is a south korean boot. of all things. there are lots of boots. eva. radioactive. etc.

someone i know wanted to trade me an original for 200 dollars in trade. i decided to stick with my scorpio vinyl.

All these LPs for 50 cents from Lost N Found, a thrift store in Atlanta benefiting local LGBTQ homeless causes.

yes, but how much fake money can I get for a buck or less?

can i buy the fake money with other fake money?

Is this the original printing of the fake money or a re-issue?

feel like this song invented grunge. dude is singing like he's in Alice in Chains.

Found in the dollar bin at Somerville Grooves -- a clean copy of this in a beat up cover:

If we equate a dollar to a pound a nice selection of records :

Ben Webster Meets Coleman Hawkins

Locked in a trunk of a car - The Tragically Hip (promo 12”)

Leo Kottke - Burnt Lips

Sorry, we strictly insist on a current exchange rate in this thread.

I'd buy that for $1.32!

That's a great (and underrated) Kottke record. Surely my favorite of his late 70s / early 80s period.

Also, looked up that Webster / Hawkins record, as I've never heard it before, and I now have a new favorite AllMusic review: https://www.allmusic.com/album/coleman-hawkins-encounters-ben-webster-mw0000191969

Oh that's good to hear re: Kottke! .. I'm not familiar with it and to be honest was in two minds as the cover had seen better days but the record itself is pristine. Excited to have a listen tonight now.

Just so you know, the cover art is not indicative of the music in any way whatsoever.

The cover art is cool

(btw - that's not meant as a snarky way of saying the music isn't cool)

I actually meant it in a different way. On the cover, Leo is all smiles, driving in the sunshine with the top down on his convertible. However, the music is some of the most melancholy he ever made.

Yeah no I get that... I also just happen to think it’s a particularly cool/compelling cover. Makes me wonder where the photo was taken.

Yeah, I'm loving this Kottke album - where do I go next?

Backwards.

If you're not opposed to his singing, Greenhouse and Mudlark are great. My Feet Are Smiling is great, too. But that's a live album, so not sure how you feel about that.

If you just want Leo doin` some pickin`, his Takoma album (6 and 12 String Guitar) is a classic for a reason.

god bless Value Village

Ote Maloya comp of music from Reunion Island. Beautiful blend of African, French and Latin music sung in the local creole.

What great LPs are still available for a buck?

Wasn’t too long ago you could still find copies of “Rumours” and “Purple Rain” and “Lodger” and “Born in the USA” for a dollar, but that’s all out the window now... and for me, well, I have copies of those albums anyway. I passed on a copy of “Misty Blue” by Dorothy Moore for a buck the other day cuz I already have one, but I was inspired to spin it when I got home. What a great little record! Which got me thinking...

I realize this is pretty regional, but are there similar sleepers in your area dollar bins that a person should take a flyer on if they stumble across one?

Me, eight-plus years ago:

On a related note, I was browsing through all the ridiculously overpriced new vinyl at a mall store last week (actually situated right near the entrance now), seeing albums I bought 35 years ago and others I should have bought 35 years ago, and one question seemed obvious to me: who's going to buy this stuff? Maybe I'm way wrong, but my guess is no one--I'm looking forward to five years from now, when the bottom drops out a second time and all those records can be picked up for next to nothing.

Way wrong.

basically this is a case of vinyl vs cd.
even crappy vinyl is now £££/$$$.
cds are still dirt cheap though some charity shops are getting wise to the situation.
