Dollar Jazz

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.

Recs for generic cardboard outer sleeves

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!

Flea Market Pickups

$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?

What online stores are best for buying second hand vinyl?

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!

You're gonna want to see this

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.

Took a gamble on a scratched up prestige record

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!

No bigger bargain than free. Found at my local media swap today. Been a heirogylphics fan since 96. This is a gift from the universe.

Savers by my brother’s house. Day before Thanksgiving $2 pickups. Listening to the Roberta Flack. Her first release. Truly a beautiful album. Gave me pause.
