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

to whoever left pristine copies of First Reformed, Xen Cuts and a whole lot of early aughts/late 90s emo and math rock, I thank you

also anyone in toronto who needs a CD copy of Leaves Turn Inside You, mcluskyism or The Rising Tide get your ass to the salvation army thrift store at lansdowne stn

Have bought a bunch of collections this year. Some of my favourite discoveries for a buck or two:

Wild Tchopitoulas
Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd St Rhythm Band
MC Lyte - Eyes on This
Moev - Zimmerkampf
Jane Fair Jazz Quintet
Brother to Brother - Let Your Mind Be Free
Bang Bang You’re Terry Reid
Little Richard - The King of Rock & Roll (absolutely bonkers)
Montrose - s/t
Carolyn Franklin (aretha’s sis) - Baby Dynamite
Ramsey Lewis - Mother Nature’s Son

Well in terms of classic albums, the other day I managed to get a full copy of Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life on Vinyl for $1 at a thrift store. Also got a copy of Jan Johansson's Jazz på svenska, which is something I usually wouldn't expect to find at a thrift store in Alberta.

.@oryxofelia wanted to hit a thrift store so while she was perusing dated fashion at the local @GoodwillIntl I hit the CD section not expecting much. I found far more than I could have hoped for for only 99¢ a pop. pic.twitter.com/LGtQsqPyxm

The Sarah Brightman was for her; the Therapy? CD single was the most unexpected thing to find and the Willie Nelson tribute has some great bands on it.

Already started listening to the Methods of Mayhem. Wow, does it suck, haha!

Hardly obscure, but here I am listening to The Good, the Bad and the Queen for the hundredth time, got it for a dollar in some cutprice store a decade ago. I love the Allen/Simonon grooves so much.
