I always forget to post here but I was adding these to my discogs collection and just remembered this thread. I just picked up all these earlier at Half Price Books. Everything was 20% off today so I figured I'd see what they had even though I've been disappointed lately in their pricing. Most of the used records were still overpriced but I managed to find some worth using the discount on:
Miles Davis - Nefertiti (Columbia - CS 9594) - this one was marked $20 and would probably have been marked $40 but it had a concerning looking scratch through most of one song. I decided to give it a shot though because VG+ copies go for $30 and most if this album looks better than VG+. Plus its hard for me to pass up Miles for a decent price.
These were new:
Pharrell Williams - G I R L
R.L. Burnside - First Recordings
Bobby Rush - Upstairs At United, Vol. 11 (RSD 2014 album) - was only $5!
Used:
Jeff Beck With Terry Bozzio And Tony Hymas - Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop
Used Clearance albums:
Woody Shaw - The Best of Woody Shaw (Columbia - JC 36519)
The Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy - Copland - Billy The Kid Suite - Appalachian Spring (RCA Red Seal - LSC-3184)
Various - Musical Variations In Stereo (Everest Stereo - 2001) - This is some sort of demonstration album. I had no idea what it was but it was $1 and looked cool so I grabbed it.
Stanley Turrentine - What About You! (Fantasy - F-9563) - I can't pass up cheap Turrentine in decent condition.
Bruno Walter, Johannes Brahms, The Columbia Symphony Orchestra* - Bruno Walter's Brahms (Columbia, Odyssey - Y 30851) - I also have trouble passing up Bruno Walter in good condition.
