Cool.  Love hearing about this kind of thing.   I don’t think I’m giving away any secret sources (new records after all) my 3 go to discogs sellers with the best prices and good packaging are PopMarket, Record Mule, and Plaid Room.   I think I’ve posted about these before.  
There is a small independent here in Portland, Clinton Street Records, that also runs a label.  I try to support him and buy the stuff he issues.  He has lots of good used records too.  My favorite here in Portland though is Music Millennium. As I’m certain Greg knows, It’s a pretty special place, and has been for a long time.  I spend way too much money in there.  One thing I like is that they stay open really late and I can haunt the isles in there for hours. Check it out if you’re ever out this way.  
In case you didn’t get the news today, Chick Corea died on Tuesday. Cancer. Going to play his solo piano albums 1 & 2 tonight.
Yea, sad indeed. Damn cancer.

Got to see Chick and Pat Metheny play at a bar, of all places, in Columbus (German Village area) back in the late 80’s. Fun evening, and found myself very lucky to see both of them in such a intimate setting.

God speed Chick.


Another acquisition that arrived in the mail today....


Sir Neville Marriner conducts Bach - The Art of Fugue. Academy of St. Martin-In-The-Fields. Philips 2LP box set. European pressing 1975.


Close to mint condition, - except-  the old foam dividers disintegrated (removed at one time) in the box and some material got on/embedded two sides in a couple small areas, so I did some careful cleaning to remove as best I could. Hopefully it all plays through well. I’ve heard some very good things about this set.
