My god I think I died and went to Vinyl LP heaven

[LynneSin]

:woohoo:

There's this great antique store nearby where normally I go if I need an interesting wallhanging or lamp or something like that.

But recently they've been bringing in used records for sale - $2 a record unless it's the Beatles then it's $5. I've picked through and found a few decent things like some Springsteen, King Crimson and a few other interesting things to add to my collection.

But today I hit jackpot. Mind you, these records are in no order whatsoever and you could go through a ton of stuff from the 30s-50s, bad country music artists and hordes of classical until you score with the one really great album.

Today I hit jackpot - I was going through all this junk and I found stuff I couldn't believe was on sale and they had the reduced the price to $1 an album

Got myself a near perfect condition "In Through the Out Door" by Led Zeppelin (my old one was destroyed in a flood). I was resolved to the fact that I was going to pay about $10-$15 for a used copy of this so I was so excited to find this. I spent an hour in there and ended up with 32 more records to add to my collection (there was another guy in there and he left with $50 - I was a real sweetie, I gave him the brand new copy of Bad Company's first album but he left me have the not-even-out-of-the-plastic-wrap copy of Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy".

And the guy who runs the antique shop hooked me up with this guy that brings in like boxes of vinyl records every week. I'm hoping that I can strike a bargin where I'll help organize his mess, point out the albums he should be asking a few more dollars for and in return I get first choice of whatever he brings in each week.

Oh and I found a copy of Robert Plant's "Pictures at Eleven" (his first solo which actually I knew I already had) and I bought it because I felt so bad the album was stashed away in this mess.
