Totally off subject, but when I lived in Boston and was newly married and very broke, I was caller ten on WZLX and won a pair of sixth row center tickets for Clapton at the Woostah Centrum.
Are they on sale somewhere for $30?
Assuming the price is reasonable (no comment on that), there is still the issue of those stickers, applied right to the cover....
I look every day at the thrift in my town (GW and SA) and I've run across those records many times. It isn't even like they are rare. I swear some doofis working there prices them that way because they've actually heard of those artists. It wouldn't surprise me to find a Thelonious Monk on Riverside in a bin like that priced at $2 because they have no clue. I kind of look at it as a positive because the casual record shopper or flipper might stop looking there. It might open up opportunities to score some good stuff.
I paid $25 for mine, YMMV. Well, technically mine isn't a Horzu but a German Apple from the same stampers. Still all true stereo until the second half of Walrus.
None taken. I regard that as high praise. And you are right, you are glad I'm not in your town.
On the other hand, maybe we could be like @bobsvinyl and his thrifting buddy (sorry, I can't remember his name) and double the karma.
Thanks for the link! I remember a sticker removal product that was in stick form, and was packaged like a slightly larger tube of chap stick.. That stuff used to work great.
Is that true?
Walter pushes me in a wheelchair so people let me get to the records first. I throw him a Mantovani record once in a while to repay him.
Not a $15 album, but a great album never the less.
