What was your latest LP find??


Women and shoes...men and vinyl. Ahh, I get it now. I really don't need another copy of my fav' album, but I still have to look.

I really enjoy flipping through the piles of records above and below, and when the blood circulation is cut off and I can't feel my legs, then it's time to move to the next tier or tandem.

My latest find was a SEALED MFSL-Japanese super vinyl pressing of David Bowie - The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & Spiders from Mars. Sticker price read $15.00 I have 2 copies already, a vinyl copy and a cd copy. Well..."I've got to have it, it's cheap!"

So the next time the little lady wants to buy shoes, make certain there's a record shop close by.

Cecil Taylor, "Silent Tongues," a live mid-70s lp I got on eBay for a cool four bucks, sealed. I'm listening to it right now. The man is utterly unbelievable. I get the same feeling listening to him as when reading Faulkner or Joyce--it's hard to believe that a human being can DO that.
A *mint* copy of Serenata Jíbara by La Corporación Latina--one of the finest "junkie salsa" records ever. Not available on CD. Also got a record supplier in Argentina--just sent him a wire transfer for $150 worth of LPs & CDs...

POP UP THE VOLUME!!!
Just got the Deustche Grammaphon tulip pressing of Von Karajan's 1963 Beethoven nine symphonies, and Rudolf Baumgartner/Lucerne Festival Strings' Bach Six Brandenburg Concertos.

Both are seemingly unplayed...no ticks, pops or even surface noise to speak of...this before taking it to the Disc Doctor (!!!).

I guess sometimes 'NM' really DOES mean 'Near Mint'.
Today is Sunday and Thanksgiving weekend here in Canuk land. A friend of mine from Peak Audio is dropping off about 80lps that were given to him and he wants to give them to me. He said they're mostly pop but 80 lps[in mint condition I'm told ],for a bottle of wine is a fine trade in my books. Long live vinyl!
