I have the first two Chicago LP's plus both Greatest hits.I need to get V because slowly over time Dialogue Parts I and II has become my favorite Chicago tune.
in 20 years of buying records at thrift stores I have found a single good condition copy of their second album and it must be over a hundred beat to sh#t or played to death copies of their other stuff, lately i have found a couple of their CD's in really good shape so its not all bad :biggrin:

and something I have been meaning to ask the thread, how much do you guys pay for used albums at a record store? there are a few antique markets around here and they seem to price every album off what a mint copy on ebay might go for, they want $40-50 for a early deep purple album in a condition I would pass on for 50 cents.

Antique shops are out to lunch on vinyl prices in my experience. Both high and low on the asking prices...

I've wondered about that as well as I haven't been in a record store in ages - the closest is in the concrete jungle 100 miles away

Now days i don't hit the record store much anymore because the only good one left is in Dearborn and that's not a place i particularly want to be.But,you can find most Classic Rock there for around $5.99 to $11.99.Double LP's go for $15.99 and up.I did pay like $20 bucks for beautiful copies of Layla and Blonde On Blonde.Jazz will always be priced higher for the most part.
Where they really jack the prices is on NWOBHM and i'm not paying $50 plus for a copy of Powerslave or Live After Death no matter how bad i want them. :rflmao:

There is a giant antique mall in an old factory in a near by town, 2 floors and a bunch of different vendors, quite a few sell albums for crazy prices, there is one guy who sells them for $3 a piece, the only catch is they smell like moth balls, its ok tho I don't sniff my records that often to care :biggrin:

I have wondered for a while as well, people always post their hauls on here, the closest real record store to me is like 45-50 mins away.

those prices are not bad, maybe its worth the drive to check out a real record store.
