Caesar non supra grammati
Well, it seemed that way.
A very, very, kind local gentleman whose name shall remain a secret contacted me in response to a CL listing I made and offered me his surplus records. He wanted them to go to a good home. I had no idea he meant so many of them!
After I got over being shocked out of my mind, I very gratefully accepted his gracious offer and loaded up the SUV. Glad I brought it, it was filled to the gunnels.
Lots and lots of box sets of Readers Digest, Time/Life, and Longines collections, all kinds of genres. I know a lot of people like these, and a lot of people don't. But I like them a lot, so I'll be enjoying these.
Lots of pop, lots of rock, lots of space-age pop (Enoch Light, London Phase 4 records, etc). Most of it in very good condition.
Only a couple really valuable records in terms of collectibility, but I don't care about that at all. I promised not to flip them and I won't; doubt I could anyway. The next stop for these was the thrift store, and now that they're with me, they have a reprieve.
And in the middle of all of that, a very, very, torn up muddy dirty moldy stinking copy of Blind Faith, the original Atco pressing. And the vinyl inside? Pristine. I cleaned it in the sink and I'm listening to it now. Blows the CD completely away. Hard.
What a good day it's been! And what a nice guy who gifted me all these records! How cool is that?

Man, what kind of ad did you place on CL?!
