Glad to see you're having so much fun with this stuff. Which gives me a slight pang of conscience to tell you that once you've been at it for a while, you'll start to realize that a lot of the records you've been posting about are the sorts of titles you'll see often and everywhere. I don't say that to dampen your enjoyment, but just to advise you to hold out for copies in exceptional condition if these are what interests you. And I'm not exempting myself - I have copies of every Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass LP, and I reckon habitual thrifters see more of those than just about any other single artist (actually, a debate about what non-collectable artists clog the second-hand bins the most would be a great topic for another thread - let's see...you've got your Mitch Miller, Eddie Duchin, Mantovani, Hugo Winterhalter, Ray Coniff, a whole slew of broadway musicals...). Oh yeah, I also have several of those RCA Stereo Action titles, just for their way-cool pull-out covers. Keep working, it's inevitable that one day soon you'll stumble across some real rare finds... :-)
