And remember slipping the vinyl out of the sleeves in the used record stores to check the condition. Did I find a gem? Maybe ... but it's $35.00. Nope ... that's not gonna happenfor me today. Payday ain't till Monday. Or maybe it would only be marked $4.00?!? Could that be true? Nah, too good to be true. And then you find that it's beat up, it's a re-issue, or funnier still, it's a stereo album in a mono sleeve. Oiy.
But then there were those moments ...
You'd be flipping through a rack and muttering ... "got it, got it, got it ... NEED IT!". And there it was; at that moment in time ... the record that was your personal 'holy grail'. And it was in mint condition. And it was affordable. And now ... well now IT WAS YOURS! OK, so I won't go into the follow-up anticipation of whether or not it would as great as you had expected it to be once you got it home and up onto your turntable ...
That situation could go either way.
But this blog is for posting and commenting on some of the more rare and obscure items that I've looked for, and found, over the years. Hope you'll dig some of them, too.
Peace!
