spindle spider dot comIt has been over 2 1/2 years since I first visited (what was at that time) Community Thrift in tiny downtown McComb Ohio. Looks like it has changed names but otherwise looks the same as it always has. I wonder if my old friend Terry is still stocking the shelves. Found some interesting gems which […]
Winding up a very long 10 days on the road that took me through West Virginia and Virginia, my colleague and I had the very long drive from Greensboro North Carolina all the way back to Chicago. We opted to stop in Dayton Ohio for the night and take that evening to reflect on the […]
The first five Eddie Rabbitt albums (ironically, I own the sixth, albeit the Mexican version), a rare Tom Jones alternate cover and Anne Murray looking adorably cute – someone’s for the taking. I used restraint, it wasn’t easy!
On the way out to McComb, I made an array of stops at some old haunts and some new ones as well. A year ago I had stopped at a Goodwill in Waseon OH (I swore it was a Salvation Army which led to great confusion on my part in attempting to retrace my steps. […]
Two classic records – one I have, the other I’d be game for but it wasn’t in the sleeve. A year and a half ago, I was out in McComb Ohio and I stopped at a tiny thrift store where I examined some records. After paying for my scores, I chatted with the elderly woman […]
When I first made my acquaintance (via telephone) with Terry, I knew I’d be back in his neck of the woods but honestly did not know if I would ever be able to make the visit happen. I felt like it was all a lie, or it would fall through, or maybe I would feel […]
Someone just unloaded about 30+ bad hip hop 12″ singles. At least they are all mint condition. Almost no ‘thrift store’ records to speak of. That is, except the bizarre polka album I found and subsequently added to discogs. This one will be in my dreams (or nightmares) for ages, probably should have grabbed it. […]
Stranded for a day in/around NW Ohio, my thoughts turned to records. After a largely disappointing trip to Bowling Green, I headed back to my hotel in Findlay to catch a nap before I finally completed the work I had come out to do, that night. On the way down the highway to Bowling Green, […]
Found a couple bins of records, the only possible candidate being ‘French Kiss’ by Bob Welch (RIP). It was hard to walk away from this one, however.
Had a layover at work and a day with nothing to do. Was mildly disappointed that they only sold new vinyl but it was a beautiful store. Did find Neko Case ‘Middle Cyclone’ but was not prepared to pay $30 for it. Did find the picture disc version of one of my favorite albums in […]
