Homefromtheforest Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 That's a $500 record in that condition! Great score! Quote
spinlps Posted July 12, 2014 Report Posted July 12, 2014 Yeah. I found a VG++ (close to NM-) copy of Outward Bound for $40 a few weeks prior too. Not as good a deal but still... Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots... Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Yeah. I found a VG++ (close to NM-) copy of Outward Bound for $40 a few weeks prior too. Not as good a deal but still... I'd say that's an incredible deal! Puts my $7 vg++ original of "far cry" to shame because I think "outward bound" usually goes for more money on eBay Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted July 18, 2014 Report Posted July 18, 2014 Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots... Do you mean "Euclid records"? That guy travelled down to Vancouver here a few years back to buy one of the best 50s/60s jazz collections around..it was a retired collector I'm friends with and I got to see the collection before it went...a near complete collection of original blue notes and prestiges amongst thousands of others. He sold it for $250,000 which seems really high and a good price for the collector, but it worked out to about $30 per album so given the high number of 3 to 4 figure albums in that collection it was a good deal for Euclid too!

sidewinder Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 That's a heavy deal. No kidding - almost a pension ! Quote
spinlps Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 Wow. Don't tell Euclid about your spots... Hehehe... Found the Dorham in Atlanta, the Dolphy in Springfield. Funny story about the Dolphy, I took the record to the counter and watched the owner stare at the tag, then inspect the cover and record. I fully expected him to shelve the sale but he said something along the lines of "looks like _____ (prolly pricing guy) left off a zero. Not your fault, $40 it is." Quote
clifford_thornton Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 Haha, classic. That's happened to me before, more along the lines of "oops, this isn't a reissue - okay, well, our fault." Quote
Pete B Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 Just got home from Princeton Record Exchange. I found the entire 49 lp run of the Duke Ellington DETS series in the $1.00 bins. Took 'em all home for $49 + tax! Quote

Their availability on cd made this buy more a luxury than a necessity, but I had sought the set on lp for years. It's nice to finally own it. Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted October 20, 2014 Report Posted October 20, 2014 I wouldn't have bypassed that either. Congrats! Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted November 10, 2014 Report Posted November 10, 2014 Ray Price's Cherokee Cowboys Western Strings, $2.99 at Goodwill, nice 'n clean! Quote

sidewinder Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) John Eardley 'Hey There' Esquire 10" in not far off mint vinyl - 9 NZ dollars !! (£5) Kenny Graham/Don Rendell "Tenorama" on Nixa/Lansdowne series for 29 dollars, again in great shape for a nearly 60 year old UK LP. A nice haul of UK LPs located many thousands of miles from their origin ! Edited December 12, 2014 by sidewinder Quote
Big Beat Steve Posted December 12, 2014 Report Posted December 12, 2014 A nice haul of UK LPs located many thousands of miles from their origin ! A hint at closer cultural ties that used to exist? Congrats anyway! Quote

Nice score on tauhid. Someone must've not known that's a $30+ record at least. Quote
jeffcrom Posted December 21, 2014 Report Posted December 21, 2014 Atlanta has some great record stores, but I seldom see original-press Blue Notes here. But this afternoon I found a mono copy of Jackie McLean's One Step Beyond for six dollars. The cover is pretty beat, but the record sounds very good - just the slightest surface noise in quiet passages. Quote
spinlps Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Original Mal / 2 on Prestige. Jacket has two random pieces of tape in front and two "Not For Sale" stamps in back. LP plays really, really nicely after cleaning on the VPI.... $20. Quote
Homefromtheforest Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 The UK Fontana pressing of "eastern sounds" by Yusef Lateef for $30 Canadian in NM condition. A welcome upgrade to my late 60s/early 70s prestige issue since I'm not up for spending a few hundred on an original Moodsville issue in nice shape... Quote
