We didn't have true thrift stores in Manhattan. I worked a few blocks form "Golden Oldies" on Carmine Street in the late 80s and I wanted "Havanah 3 am" so bad I paid $50 for it. Denny and Baxter albums could be had but for minimum $30 each. Yep, Colony was selling beat up copies of "Exotica" for $100. I bought a mono copy of Fantastica at Footlight Records for $75. Buying from dealers like Jack Diamond or Preston Peek was actually saving me money in comparison. Then came the WFMU record fair. Now Ebay. Hitting places out of town, like Jerry's in Pittsburgh, was like finding paradise lost. New York City is not a great place to shop for records. The west coast had us beat hands down. Interesting to know that it's not just we Europeans who find ourselves forced to dig deep into our wallets to get this stuff.
