Leonard Cohen Neil Young are great finds. Anytime i see them in the wild usually overpriced and trashed. Nice Haul.

No offense, I am older. I was in the Navy serving in the far east when those cans were new. Some of my mates bought them new in the Navy Exchange. They looked goofy then. Goofiness withstands the test of time. That's why I bought them; reminds me of the good ol' days. Just because I've grown old doesn't mean I've grown up.I was given a pair of those once. I rarely if at all use headphones anymore, but I tried them on anyway an my wife busted out laughing. Not knowing at what, I took a look in the mirror an soon realized why. Yes they are indeed goofy looking, considering how large they are on the sides. Sorry older gents I know it was different times.....

If you've never played it, Scoop is a wonderful album. His demo of "Squeezebox" stomps all over the Who version. The joke makes sense on his demo.
I went to an estate sale yesterday, and picked up a few things I needed. But when I left, I decided to go to a Salvation Army I don't go to often, but it was the site of my first audio score, a Dynaco PAS3 for $10 with all original telefunken tubes. I found 25 records almost all of them in new minty condition.
Yep my contact wasn't lying
Fully working, still has the blue protective wrap on the edges of the fascia, shame its been smashed about, all feet broken and the bottom is slightly bent.
he also gave me a pair of kef refence 104's and some rogers ls4'A's

I found 25 records almost all of them in new minty condition. I've already listened to about half of them and they are all in near perfect condition with no noise or static! I could probably get away without even cleaning them!

The stars of this first batch are Frankie Goes to Holleywood, Crowbar Larger Than Life, and Leggett Illuminations!

These last two pictures were a mixture of 80s and I suspect from a different batch of donations, but they are in great condition.
Very happy with this find!
That Frankie Goes to Hollywood is indeed an awesome album! I'd never heard it till someone mentioned it here and I realized I had it. It's one of my favorites now and I'm realizing its been a while since I've spun it so that's on the to-do list now. I've picked up and put back that Eddie and the Cruisers album a few times at various stores (not at thrift prices or I wouldn't have put it back). I remember liking the movie and the music but keep talking myself out of buying it.
I've already listened to Relax 4 times since getting it. My previous version had some skips and scratches. I love it at loud volume! I remember hearing to it in the clubs when it first came out. And the video was pushing the limits of that time.
It's on the play list for tonight.
Just put Scoop on. Playing so sad about us.
So, how did you like it?
Nice to see someone else likes the Go-Go's, one of my guilty pleasures as well.
