The official Music score thread

I love my record store!

Not really cheap, but all are hard to find and in great condition!

"Great White Wonder", Bob Dylan. The first rock bootleg.

"Rolling Thunder", Micky Hart. A white label promo with much better sound than my green label Warner Bros pressing.

"Merry Clayton", Merry Clayton. I've been looking for her records since I saw "Twenty Feet from Stardom". You've heard her sing "Rape! Murder!" behind the Rolling Stones on "Gimme Shelter".

I have the TMOQ pressing of Great White Wonder.
 
Hey, all. Just joined today. Ogling other people's scores in the bin and sharing my own are both favorite pasttimes. Here's some recent finds. All generally found in dollar bins or for <$5

Visited Brooklyn's "The Thing" today and bought these CDs for $2 each;

I was in my local St. Vincent DePaul thrift store this past Friday and hit the mother load. What makes this so unique is that this particular store always has plenty of vinyl. If you like big band, Lawrence Welk or anything else produced before 1960. And I have nothing against that type of music. It's just not what I enjoy listening to. So I walk in there Friday afternoon and I'm stunned, utterly speechless with what I've found. So here it goes:

Phil collins- no jacket required
Tracy Chapman- Tracy Chapman-
Mannheim Steamroller- Fresh Aire 4
Paul Simon- Graceland
Don Henley- Building the Perfect Beast
Thomas Dolby- The Golden Age of Wireless
Dire Straights- Dire Straights
James Taylor- Flag
Pretenders- 12"- Back on the Chain Gang/My City Was Gone
Some jackets are in good shape and some not as good. But each and every album itself is in it's sleeve and condition wise looks brand new. Every single one which leads me to think they may have come from someone's collection. Pics will come soon.
 
I don't even know where to begin...

Ok, I do:

This pretty much sums up my morning trip to Goodwill.

Total count: 32 albums, all recent releases, all in near mint to mint condition, a couple still sealed, many colored vinyl, most 180g or 200g. 10 double albums at $4.99 each, 22 single albums at $2.99.

Easily the biggest music score of my life. In all my years of Goodwill hunting, I have seen (and bought) a total of one recent (last 10 years) release. About a month ago, I picked up a sealed copy of the 2008 re-issue of Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album).

Now this. I am overwhelmed. So much new music to listen to...

Two more from today's Goodwill mega-score:

METALLICA - MASTER OF PUPPETS (Music For Nations UK pressing, translucent marbled blue vinyl):

BECK ! ODELAY (translucent marbled brown vinyl):

I had that same pressing of Master of Puppets and it was the worst sounding recording I ever heard of it. I hope your experience is better than mine was. :) Granted my system has the wonderful ability of making bad records sound even worse. LOL

Apparently it was an unauthorized re-issue from 2015. That may account for the poor sound quality.

Fortunately, about a month before I got this one, I picked up a sealed 2008 reissue of the Black Album at a different Goodwill:

Excellent SQ on this one.
 
MI0002397621.jpg Found this at my local STVDP thrift shops yesterday. Although I've heard their music thru friends, radio and such. This is my first album I've owned. So far so good.

I just noticed you're also in Portland. You didn't happen to donate your copy to Goodwill, did you? That's where I got mine as part of my big Memorial Day vinyl score.
