He could get those (they're great) and spend the additional $35 for these: http://amzn.com/B0029HHIDY ; http://amzn.com/B0049P6OTI ; http://amzn.com/B003Z6ZR5O

That's what I did and it suit my needs fine for 6 months until I got the itch to buy a vintage receiver. Of course now we're at double the budget but that's record collecting~

Yeah, why wouldn't you just spend the money on a used stereo in the first place? There's overpriced gear out there but a lot of cheap stuff, too. It is yard sale season after all.

It was an alternate version of the debut album that contained different takes and/or mixes. It's been available as a bootleg for years and recently got an official release.

This is the official release of that material: http://www.discogs.com/Velvet-Underground-Scepter-Studios-Sessions/release/5120880

Another batch of records came in the mail that once belonged to my late mother-in-law. I'll take pictures and list them later, but my initial :woop: at finding a copy of Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" in the pile turned to :sigh: when I discovered the first record was missing.

So umm, if anyone has a spare side 1/2 of Bitches Brew lying around, let me know. Original pressing, circa 1970.

Pretty good day for street purchases. I got ten $1 records at a stoop sale. Mostly techno/electronic/whatever with some corny house in there, oh well. I was just taking some chances on cheap vinyl.

Acme-Crystal Clear-no label?-1994. I like this one a lot so far! It will be great for when I'm raving my face off at home, which happens never.

Here's some of my yardsale/thrift store pickups from the past week or so. That delta blues compilation was a buck and seems to be worth in the 40-50 range, so that helps me justify my record hoarding for a little bit longer.

Press the buttons all at once, all of the time
I recently started up buying on ebay again, first I wanted just the Disc Tote, couldn't convince the guy to take out the records to make shipping to Canada cheaper but there ended up being a few interesting ones.

This morning I bought a Uni collection, 158 Uni mostly promo 45s. Don't even really have any names or artists just yet but should be interesting. Shipping and import for the whole 158 record collection to Canada is 50 bucks, for the other 5 45s I bought with names(The Dell Kings/The Nice/Kinks/Buffalo Springfield/Crazy Horse) shipping and import is 20 bucks. Hoping to sort something out with the seller.
Here are the most recent 3 records I've picked up locally, hopefully the last before I head to Montreal and check out some stuff there. I guess I'm digging Orange vibes

The new Swans isn't available in Canada on vinyl yet but he had just got Burning World in so I grabbed it(originally released on Uni),Channel Orange is a bootleg but at least now I have both, I just played it once but I wasn't so stoked on how it sounds but it's got one coloured orange record. In den Gärten Pharaos is ridiculously good and a great package, I really wanted a Florian Fricke record and wasn't sure which one, the owner of the shop said this was his favourite so I stopped there.

You've been killing the Hip Hop singles lately, that Stetsasonic score was tight and I'm super jealous of this, I bought HNIC on cassette years ago at Ameoba in Berkeley and have loved it ever since. That's a fav track off of that album, would love to hear the instrumental. What's on the flip side?
That blues comp looks really wicked, do you mind me asking what the 12"HotBiscuit underneath yr Costello is? I love those 12" singles.

It's possible, although unfortunately I still may not have it, as we only took approximately half of my mother-in-law's collection with us (she deemed the rest of the music as being terrible and not worth taking). I also unfortunately discovered tonight that the Gabor Szabo double LP I included in my last haul is actually two copies of the second record. The first record is nowhere to be found. My mother-in-law may have had awesome taste in music, but she wasn't really one to take good care of her stuff, unfortunately.

But hey, with that in mind, here's a pic of the last box shipped to us:

I got a few things on a quick trip to Philadelphia, which I have to say is a fantastic town for vinyl. There were so many good stores it was a real treat coming from NYC. Cheapskate that I am, I only spent $7 on these hip hop 12"s.

Just Ice, The Desolate One LP-1989. I had high hopes for this since I'm a big fan of his debut, "Back to the Old School", which has great production by Mantronik. KRS-1 produced this one and so far it seems like he really dropped the ball. Still not the worst dollar I've spent.


Bounty Killer w. Jeru, Suicide Murder-1995. I love a good dancehall/hip hop combo, and this one has mixes in both styles.


This is the really exciting one, Paris- The Devil Made Me Do It-1990. I've loved this track since it came out! It's just like Rakim doing Microphone Fiend with the politics and bombast of Public Enemy.

And a free 7" I have no clue about.
