I scored a bunch of records at a Goodwill that were in pretty good shape (these were wheeled out from the back and didn't make it to the racks), and I just grabbed the whole lot and am now forcing myself to go through every single one to see if I want to keep it.  Foreigner Double Vision, Steve Miller The Joker, Olivia Newton-John Totally Hot and with ELO on Xanadu, Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits Vol.1, The Best of Jim Reeves, The Best of Bread, The Best of The James Gang, Gerry Rafferty City To City ( a surprise keeper for me), The Partridge Family Album (told you I grabbed everything), a couple of Jane Olivor's albums (surprise keepers as well), Handel's Messiah (red label multi-album set), and somehow I've ended up with at least three copies of Vaughn Meader's The First Family and an equal number of the Hair Soundtrack album - won't be surprised if I find more of each.  Keeping the record cleaner busy.
Picked up a large cache of used LPs at a Goodwill around me - 187 in total, mostly rock or pop.  Been going through them one by one, and right now it's Gerry Rafferty's City to City (I've heard "Baker Street" more times than I needed to, but it also has "Right Down the Line", which is a gooder), Bob Seger Night Moves, Tom Petty's Mudcrutch double album (this is great!), Joni Mitchell Court and Spark, some bootleg Beatles Let It Be album, andsome various rock pop compilation albums.  
I get scads of records from time to time at yard/estate sales, and just start through cleaning and playing them when I have the time.  If I'm there I select them, and other times they want rid of them I just grab the whole bunch.  A lot of them end up going to Goodwill.  Sinatra "the Wee Small Hours", "The Graduate" soundtrack, "Sing with the Four Roses Society" (bunch of singalong standards), Kenny Rogers' Greatest Hits, Poco's "Indian Summer", Herb Alpert's "What Not My Love".  I'm not keeping any of these, either because they're in such poor condition or I just don't like them.  Strangely enough, I listened to and kept a couple of The New Christie Minstrel's albums, which I would've never picked out on my own.
