Recent vinyl finds

Picked up the following at a local record store over the last week or so. They are all from a big list I composed from searches here at AA of highly recommended titles.

All I can say is: WOW, this is some really good music. Some of the artists I have other titles from, but a lot I'd never really paid attention to or hadn't heard of. This has been the most successful method of finding new music I've ever experienced. It's great having you fellow music-lovers here!

The average price per album was $6.50 and everything is NM-/+. It is a mix of some heavy vinyl and of course the typical late '70s/80's lighter stuff.

That particular store has no junk (well maybe the dollar bins on the sidewalk). The owner is a really nice guy and very helpful. Just found this store recently. Up 'til now the last year was pretty spotty for clean records locally, but this guy tells me that this is his slow season and he has hardly any inventory; says "wait 'til the spring'!

I was making a fair number of purchases on eBay and found some pretty nice records, but it's hardly worth it now with shipping pretty much $5+, except of course for the pricier or multiple items.

(Note: the format is due to cut/paste from my spreadsheet, and the manufact/code are Canadian pressings.)
