You Are A Elf posted:That's crazy that your Goodwills charge $2 per album, though, because all the ones here charge 99¢, although I used to get them for 49¢ if I was a suave and debonaire customer (and nice to the cashier). It seems like Goodwill has been creeping up in price for everything else, though, and cashiers no longer give their own discounts on stuff, which sucks. Also, the Goodwill by my house has had the same records on display for at least two months now. I'm sick of looking at the same copy of the Xanadu soundtrack and that one Seals & Crofts album at the front of each row. 77 cents at Goodwill here  . Unfortunately, it's usually a very small selection and it's on the other side of town. Got Tommy (1975 reissue) there last time, though.On rare occasion one thrift store has the 10 cents deal, but it's 50 cents at all other times. You have to dig through piles of stuff, but occasionally there's something decent. Like a 1959 single of Teenager in Love and a couple of Elvis singles. The ReStore is $1 per album. I have never found anything interesting enough there, though I did once find a $5 Super Nintendo.

CPL593H posted:It is a 1975 reissue of the 1969 Who album or the soundtrack from the movie? If it's the latter you paid 77 cents too much. Reissue, though I'd probably buy the soundtrack as well just so I could say I have it.

Spent two hours this evening photographing the cover and actual record of every album I have stored at my parents' house. There are way too many and not enough space in my apartment to take them with me. I also don't have enough time to sift through them one by one while I'm here and match them up on Discogs. None of them are very interesting, but I'm curious about what exactly I have. Hopefully, I can get everything updated within a week.

Label itself isn't in the greatest of shape.

Starting to figure out what exactly I have in the storage bins of records. Not many highlights, but a couple from the boxes Capitol promotional?  I can only assume someone gave this to my grandfather. I have no idea who as there is a long list of people he knew that would. I have never played it. I have no idea if it lives up to its label and I don't have a turntable up here to find out.

CPL593H posted:This is pretty much why I never got into Queen, I guess I've really only heard the radio songs and sports game poo poo. But then I saw Flash Gordon and decided that I must own the soundtrack to that movie. I've yet to come across a copy, but then again I've been holding off buying any music for a while. I'm guessing it won't be too difficult to find. Queen II is a work of art. Nothing is similar to what's played on the radio, as the main single, Seven Seas of Rhye is pretty much ignored.

I've been submitting photos and information for a bunch of singles for Discogs. Somebody out there better appreciate the efforts to have a database that includes Kitty Wells 45s. There is some terrible schlock in the collection. Of what I was given a few years back, one of my uncles had won a radio station contest somewhere for a whole bunch of free records. On the good side, I think it included Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and a promotional single for The Zombies' Time of the Season. On the bad side ... let's just say it sinks pretty low. How low? This low.  As if the Paul Anka single, (You're) Having My Baby wasn't bad enough, she altered the lyrics a bit and covered it. No wonder I ended up with this.

traveling midget posted:So there's this guy from craigslist who's selling this Beatles lot: Stay well away from it. You don't know the pressings on several and you don't know the condition of the vinyl or covers or inserts. And if he's one of these guys who doesn't know what he has, he does know it's The Beatles. It's been my experience with collecting anything that if it's something very well-known and nostalgic, the seller automatically assumes that anything associated with it must be worth money. Only if this were a singer/group not well-known in the US, say Tyrannosaurus Rex, would I even consider this.

I finally checked out the little antiques place that's a block from me. There was a pretty good little section of records, so I bought this.  Brian Wilson. Age 20. Only marginally nutty. It's difficult to find early Beach Boys albums in good shape and this one is spotless. The vinyl has no scratches at all. They should have just stopped after Noble Surfer. That is one bad B side.

Detective Thompson posted:
Smile was never released as an album until Brian Wilson's CD release a few years ago (and also the recent one with the Beach Boys). This is a bootleg. I can't tell exactly which bootleg version this is, as there are a handful and I don't own any of them, but they range in quality. Some essentially ripped the tracks off the Good Vibrations box set, and some bootlegs (also) contain stuff that did slip out of the studios. Sea of Tunes is the most popular "label" for the bootlegs and once upon a time, the CD releases went for a good amount of money, but those were even the pre-original Napster days. Back to Smile itself, the promotional art of the cover was released in the 1960s as well as a few articles hyping it. Smile stuff in various forms made it onto some albums over the next few years - Smiley Smile, 20/20, Sunflower, Surf's Up - but other than that, none of the original stuff never saw an official release until Capitol's Good Vibrations box set in the 1990s. Here's some stuff on Sea of Tunes, the publishing company started by Murry Wilson.

CPL593H posted:Good find on the T.Rex. I rarely come across any of that. Although I do have a white label promo coy of Tanx Elemental Child on A Beard of Stars is also electric. Bolan was using a fuzz-type effect on it.

. Also that's technically not their first album. It's the first album under the shortened name and where they used electric guitar. They released four albums under than name Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Thrift store finds: Promotional copy of Hawkwind. Cover is decent, but actual album looks perfect. And 8-tracks of Leftoverture and Point of Know Return. My monster Panasonic turntable has a built-in 8-track player that still works. Don't know if these will, though.

Thrift store finds: Promotional copy of Yes' Tormato and the Beach Boys' Endless Summer. The sticker on Tormato is "suggested cuts." Future Times and Rejoice are grouped together as one song and everything else is listed individually. The slipcover is a lyrics sheet and it's beginning to split on all sides. And I'm a Beach Boys fan and scoop up every album in decent shape I can find in the wild. The cover is a bit beat up, but both discs look quite good. On first glance, the artwork is abysmal, but on second glance, it's quite accurate. Everyone was on serious drugs.
