Niiiiiiiiiiice. Based on your finds, I have to believe the UK's the best place in the world for record shopping. Or you just stumble on the right stuff constantly at the right time.
There is an element of luck in some of my finds, granted. But a lot of it is purely down to the volume of searching I do. Record fairs, stores well off the beaten track, Gumtree/Craigslist ads, scouring eBay and Discogs daily for the best deals. You Made Me Realise being a perfect case in point - seen it loads over the years but always for £40 and up, which I think's extortionate. Spied it on eBay for cheap and nabbed it, and then days later found a copy of Tremolo going for a fiver (£30-odd on the 'cogs). Just wish I had someone to show it all off to - perhaps I should start a YouTube channel or something... _________________ 'Reggae' & t'ing Folk 'n Stuff SHAMELESS RECORD DEALER PLUG
Got a bunch of B to B+ rated stuff today for cheap at a local shop I used to think was garbage (it's more a collectibles store than a record store). Wishing for more cheap A to A+ rated stuff... haha.
In no particular order:
Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Glenn Miller - A Memorial 1944-1969
Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - The Marvelous Miller Medleys
Strauss* / The Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra*, Josef Krips - Strauss Waltzes
Kingston Trio - The Best Of The Kingston Trio
Willie Nelson - Stardust
Paul Simon - Hearts And Bones
Leo Kottke - 6- And 12-String Guitar
Bizet*, Herbert von Karajan - Carmen (Highlights)
Santana - Santana
Roy Orbison - The All-time Greatest Hits Of Roy Orbison
Art Garfunkel - Breakaway
Mstislav Rostropovich - Mstislav Rostropovich (box set)
Pablo Casals, Beethoven*, Schubert* - Pablo Casals In Concert (box set)
And then stuff a bit back from Amazon for the total rip off prices (kinda... $15-20 for new):
R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.
Beck - Guero
The Paris 1919 is a gift for a friend and everything else is a gift for me. _________________ Don't get work up over my posts. I'm an idiot.
