spindle spider dot comIt has become a tradition to stop in after getting my haircut in nearby Oakbrook. I’ve pulled some interesting scores out of here and it’s been a while since I stopped in – my hair was quite long and unruly. I got a trim today and made time to stop in and found they moved […]
If I didn’t have 150+ other posts on this blog I’d feel a little more guilty about posting about the same place four times (even if it is over more than a year). And I’d feel guiltier still (in fact, I wouldn’t even bother posting at all) if I had worse luck at the place. […]
Without question the closest source for used records to my home, I have visited this shop a couple times and outlined my trips accordingly for those visits. For this fourth visit (and 9th Savers visit overall, including other locations) I really came up big. It had been since last fall when I previously dug the […]
Close to a year ago I picked up major scores at this shop while out that way getting my hair cut. Apparently it had been a while between cuts because I only got back that way now. Glad I did. My barbershop obsession was well fueled with a classic album I picked up from one […]
Last March I was visiting my folks and hit up a bunch of local thrift stores with my mom scavenging for vinyl. Woke up Black Friday and shook off my hangover then got a recommendation (from my mom of all people) to check out a new resale shop called Wings in the area. Well Salvation […]
Haven’t been round this way in a while and I don’t know if this Savers did not exist previously or if I just missed/ignored it. A bevy of finds lurked within. The Anne Murray you see above I just purchased this summer at a garage sale (I’d still love to have the Arc version) and […]
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 […]
The 99 cent bin was filled with good stuff…Engelbert, lots of classic country, even some Brasil 66. Walked away with some Ray Price and Marty Robbins to fulfill my current country obsession. I had picked up the Marty Robbins album more than once recently but put it back for poor condition. This one is staggeringly […]
Hadn’t been in for a while so figured I’d breeze through. Huge stash of new vinyl, I did pick up the one in the bottom pic for $1.08.
While out getting my hair cut, I stopped at a nearby Savers to scope their vinyl. I was pleased to find that they had almost double the amount of records of the Franklin Park store I visited recently. It was in total disarray and used the same horrible style of bins FP did. That being […]
