Got a keen tip that this book store had some records. The intel was accurate but I did not expect this many vinyls in such a place! I did indeed search every bin…was about to leave with a copy of an old Al Kooper album before I came up on two gems. The prices were generally a bit high, this is typical for retailers not normally ‘in the game’ as they attempt to cash in. However, I walked away with mine for under $10 for both, and in excellent shape to boot!
I picked up another Little River Band album. This one (and the one I got at an estate sale a while back) bookend the last album in the trilogy I am searching for…it won’t be long, of that I am sure.
Also grabbed a Peter Gabriel album… you know, the one with the haunting cover. That cover art used to scare the crap out of me as a kid – still does. Turns out that ‘Shock The Monkey’ is the least disturbing track on the album….Peter is one weird dude. As a kid, I embraced his weirdness so hard, it made me feel so relaxed and better as a person. Not because of the music, but because someone was so willing to be different. I still feel the same.
Got a punchcard of outrageous limits….I’ll have to make 12 visits, even if I buy more than one record at a time. Nice gesture, I guess. Still a fruitful hunt!
