http://www.discogs.com/Various-Music-Box/release/709869 Had my wonderful girlfriend pick up another A&M comp to my growing collection of releases in that category. Also includes a couple CTI selections as well. Can’t wait to give it a listen!

Came here ages ago and bought nothing. Bought nothing today as well. JUNK.

Swung through Savers on a Saturday afternoon to see if the records had been rotated. There was a big load of vinyl in generic white cardboard sleeves, with little labels on them identifying the artist/release. I’m going to guess they came from a municipal or school library. Only one interested me – Claudette’s last A&M […]
Headed out on a burning hot Sunday afternoon to burn off the barrel of beer I drank the night before. Figured I’d stop into Thrift n’ Thrive….visited once before months previous with some success. Vinyl rotation (no pun intended) happens on a semi-regular basis in thrift stores across the world and the time was nigh […]

During a generally hellish two day trip to Pleasant Prairie I found wonderful restaurant that I ate 3 meals at in 2 days. The first day I was searching for a place to eat. The Hillcrest Family Restaurant has plenty to offer – not excluding the Goodwill next door! I picked up another 60s record […]

Had fun hunting with this guy and walked away with another Glen Campbell album. I was initially annoyed that someone else was trying to get into the rack (space is limited) but we soon struck up pleasant conversation about record collecting and I could tell he was serious. He pulled out a Dave Brubeck album […]
One of the best thrift store adventures in a while. Filled with good stuff, besides the three I pulled out, found copies of my favorite Brasil 66 album, not one but TWO Dan Seals solo albums and my favorite Eng record! All of that aside I did leave to go and get some cash (and […]

Picked up a really nice copy of a Glen Campbell classic for a buck. I got hooked on this song via Engelbert’s version and I was curious to hear what the original sounded like. Now I not only get to hear it once, but hear it forever. In staggering condition as well!
Almost bought this Jimmy Webb classic but passed. I am already aware of some gems that have been pulled out of this tiny shelf but today was nothing doing. I shall return.
