Sorry that vinyl is so hard to come by up there in the great white north. There are some pretty good places around here in ole NYC to get a weekly fix. A particular favorite joint of mine is Academy Used LPs on E. 10th St. If you are ever down here you should check it out. These guys are interested in turnover. In other words, they get some great inventory, but they don't price it outta the ballpark. You can definitely get some pretty good deals in there. There are a handful of other vinyl joints around here, but it's hit or miss on the good prices. The one thing that I have only been able to find on Ebay more than in the stores at the moment is good Les Baxter stuff. So far been hard to find out there in the retail world. I did just buy 'Tamboo' and 'Wild Guitars' on ebay though, both for decent prices. This past weekend I went to a flea market in Southwestern Jersey and scored some pretty decent stuff like: for a dollar- Beach Boys Xmas album VG- cond. for two dollars- Marty Robbins 'Gunfighter Ballads' Vg+ condition. I think this is a later pressing though. For three dollars- Sinatra Xmas album VG+ for five dollars- Nancy Sinatra 'Boots' Mono, mint cond, still in shrink (not sealed) The Who 'Magic Bus', VG- cond. (jacket is in better shape than vinyl, but still plays good) Elvis Xmas Album mint cond, still in shrink (not sealed) early 60s pressing. Julie London 'About the Blues' mono VG- condition. and splurged a bit on these: Johnny Cash 'Folsom Prison' mint cond, still in shrink (not sealed) 10 bucks. Dick Schory 'Music to Break Any Mood' also 10 bucks and just for fun-Def Leppard 'High & Dry' for a buck-fifty Yeah...stockin up on the holiday tunes. I already have the Phil Spector Xmas LP, but these other additions should make it real cheery 'round the ole tannenbaum. And yeah, I shelled out alot on the vinyl this trip, but it was my birthday weekend so f**k it. I'll be damned though if I couldn't find any Exotica. I did see some Lyman, but I'm not too blown away by him to spend more than three bucks on one of his LPs. Still on the hunt for some good Denny, Baxter, Esquivel...you know the drill Anyway, keep me updated on any of your current vinyl finds. cheers..:drink:
