Listening to the other bin finds from yesterday, Sphere's Four in One and Brubeck's Time Further Out. The Brubeck isn't in great shape, but at least the album is better than the cover. The Sphere is a bit nostalgic, as I had a cassette copy that would often get played during road trips while in music school.
Also, this shop has quite a few older Record Store Day releases, including Thelonious Monk's The London Collection Volume 3 from 2016 on clear vinyl. I've never bought anything and colored vinyl, and the LP while discounted is still $21. Is it worth picking up?
