Vinyl Find of the Week?

Since we all hunt through used record stores, garage sales and sometimes even other people's trash looking for those spectacular accidental vinyl 'finds' I thought it might be interesting to see what folks are coming up with.

My two best recent ones were a NM Analogue Productions 1992 test pressing of Art Pepper + Eleven, and a gift from fellow A-Goner Bill who gave me a Sheffield Labs Harry James, the King James Version (he had two) that sounds amazing (more than making up for the somewhat cornball style of said Mr. James.

What's everyone got out there?

I was in Japan two weeks ago and I visited two record stores that were full of vinyl records. I was there for hours listening vinyls. I ended up buying 12 LPs. I found Marvin Gaye "Lets get it on", The beatles (the one with photo when all four of them was crossing the street, I love that cover.), Donald Byrd, and a number of other Jazz albums.

Thorman: why are you keeping the location of that store to yourself? Loosen up and let us all know; but unless its in Hawaii you don't have to worry about seeing me there.

Check this Jazz fans: original blue note flawless copy of Eric Dolphy 'Out to lunch" for......$15. Used record store here in Brooklyn didn't know what they had. This is a $75 record in anybody's book. I have seen copies this good on Ebay for $150.

In local stores, I just found a real nice, clean copy of Dead Can Dance's "Spleen and Ideal" for $5, a sealed Italian pressing on the Deutsche Grammophon label of Bohm/Schubert Symphonies 5 & 9 for $2.99, and a clean & quiet Columbia two-eye copy of Bernstein/Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony for 99 cents. Plus an Ebay score of 17 MINT Stravinsky albums from mid-60's through mid-70's for $12.99. Many of them are very desirable albums, I couldn't believe no one else bid on them. Perhaps the sellers no feedback score for vinyl sales people scared away.

I bought 1300+ LPs at $150. Mixed lots - classical, jazz, pop, rock, folk, easy listening, ...
Over half of them in (very) good listening condition.
It was a deal of my life time.
