The official Music score thread

[ZR9B]

...well it was last night....I'm at Ace adventure part/white water rafting in WV ...a band called...of the Dell played "Tommy" end to end ! They did a GREAT job! I'll have too look them up.

Always great to find a rare jazz LP in great condition at the GW.

Hank Jones, Kenny Clarke and Wendell Marshall complete the combo, Rudy Van Gelder engineers.

Th holidays continue to be good to me. My largest ever music score was on Memorial Day. Today, on Independence Day, I scored 17 vintage albums mostly from the mid-70s to the mid-80s. I could have had a LOT more (like more than 50), but I'm picky about condition, and some of them weren't to my taste.

Here's what I brought home:

Michael Jackson - Thiller
The Police -Ghost in the Machine
a-ha - Hunting High and Low
Bruce Springsteen - Born in the U.S.A.
Journey - Escape
Bryan Adams - Reckless
Pat Benatar - Crimes of Passion
Jethro Tull - Aqualung
Bon Jovi - Slippery when Wet
Don Henley - Building the Perfect Beast
Billy Joel - An Innocent Man
George Harrison - Cloud Nine (still sealed)
Various Artists - Easy Rider Music from the Soundtrack
Blue Oyster Cult - Agents of Fortune
Little River Band - First under the Wire
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Motley Crue - Theater of Pain

I don't even know where to begin...

Ok, I do:

This pretty much sums up my morning trip to Goodwill.

Total count: 32 albums, all recent releases, all in near mint to mint condition, a couple still sealed, many colored vinyl, most 180g or 200g. 10 double albums at $4.99 each, 22 single albums at $2.99.

Easily the biggest music score of my life. In all my years of Goodwill hunting, I have seen (and bought) a total of one recent (last 10 years) release. About a month ago, I picked up a sealed copy of the 2008 re-issue of Metallica - Metallica (The Black Album).

Now this. I am overwhelmed. So much new music to listen to...

OK, here's all 32 albums from my Memorial Day Mega Score:

Umphrey's McGee - Safety in Numbers
Fugees - The Score
Various Artists - Baby Driver: Music from the Motion Picture
St. Vincent - Strange Mercy
St. Vincent - S/T

Yesterday's shopping;

In the trumpet bin at the Labor Day festival.

 

[sx1010JBL]

So I’m going through another donated collection of vinyl today out in the garage. The collection is one of the most cared for I’ve seen. I have a keeper pile going, and a send off pile. The keeper pile is unusually large.
Then this:

Way cool in more ways than one!

Japanese 1st press, still sealed from 1993;

[percival]

Latest scrounge through the bargain bin...92 cents each...

 

[MCM_Fan]

Not sure if this counts as a "score" as it's the most I've ever spent on records at one time, even with a 20% off discount code and free shipping, but I took advantage of the sale to get some of the best pressings available of some excellent albums. The goal here was maximum sound quality, not necessarily the maximum value I seek when shopping at the thrift stores. Anyway, this is my early Christmas present to myself. They just arrived this morning and I look forward to giving them a listen tonight:

@MCM_Fan FANtastic choices! Jealous!

Thanks! Just spun Love Over Gold and listening to Random Access Memories now. These sound so good. This is why I love vinyl.

I'm saving Tea for the Tillerman for last. I have three other copies, but they are from Goodwill and an estate sale. I've been wanting a clean copy forever. I've read so many glowing reviews the the Analogue Productions/Quality Record Pressings version, but it was initially $50 when it came out and prices have risen into the $65 - $75 range on eBay. When I noticed Acoustic Sounds had it back in stock and I had a 20% off coupon, I couldn't resist any longer.

This one has been on my want list for a while. Found it sealed at a record store for a reasonable price.

 

[BamaBilly]

I went to a guys house last week and bought several, most were fairly common but did manage a Rory Gallagher Live and this one:

 

[Wolverine]

Picked this used copy of “Endless River” yesterday at a local record/book store. I know it is not everyone’s cup of tea (apparently true of this copy’s previous owner since it is in excellent condition) but I like it and thought it a bargain for $10. Also got the Deluxe Edition of “Mad Dogs and Englishmen”.

 

[Johnny B]

I went to two stores yesterday looking for the new Bob Mould album. Out of stock at both, but I found all of this.

 

[RhythmGJ]

Is that "Specials" the new one?

Yes, it is. Not half bad, either.
