Found this at the Salvation Army over the weekend. It’s in surprisingly amazing shape. Don’t usually love flute jazz too much. This is actually a very good and tight album. It’s just really well done and focuses much more on a Latin vibe, which I’m totally into.
Looking for generic cardboard outer sleeves for a number of LPs without covers that I've ended up with from buying lots etc. From what I've found, I'd prefer the ones with the center hole so the label can be seen. A lot of feedback comments state that some of them aren't quite big enough to fit the record with a sleeve. This obviously would suck. Any recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks!
$3 ea. Even better, not even mark on the vinyl.
Had never heard of The Pouges, but that album is FIRE! Would it be Irish folk punk? Sounds like some heavy The Clash influences?
After weeks of looking, a nice little group of 80s albums. $3 a piece.
Hey!
I’m looking to expand my collection of secondhand vinyl records, especially from the early 2000s and 90s, as I already have a solid collection from the 70s and 80s. Living in northen Europe, I’m curious about which online stores you recommend for finding affordable used vinyl, particularly those with reasonable shipping costs. I know about Ebay, I’m asking about other solid web shops that I might not know about. I would love to hear about the smaller and indipentant ones.
What websites have worked well for you? Any tips on where to find hidden gems would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for your help!
In the antique store's defense, where else are you going to find an Andy Williams record with seam splits? Hard to think of anywhere else.
I met a lady the other day as I was thrifting some records who offered for me to come see some records she was trying to offload for $1ea , when I showed up she had a pile of "expensive" ones which she didn't really have a price for and these other ones for $1 , I took all the ones for $1 and grabbed about 50 from the other bin at $5ea. Here are some of the ones out of the $1 bin.

John Coltrane - Lush Life OG 1961 Prestige Mono press. Graded as "fair condition, but looks worse than it sounds" and figured I'd take the chance on a beat up copy. Definitely a noisy playthrough, but not too bad! The older prestige pressings can take a beating and still sound okay. For only $25 definitely worth it to add to my Coltrane collection!
Went in looking for some chill jazz albums for my office and came out with 38 records and some nice surprises! $2ea
Picked up at an Estate Sale a few weeks ago! We’re not cheap but still underpriced! About $275 spent and got some great albums for the collection!
