Today was the annual 6 block yard sale. The past couple of years have been a dud. Lots of baby clothes, glassware, knickknacks, and TONS of books. This year I was able to score some good records for 25 cents apiece.
Red Hot Chili Peppers – Uplift Mofo Party Plan. The median price is $45 for this album.
Joan Armatrading
A couple of good Philly comp albums.
Plus some Grover Washington Jr., Bryan Ferry, Grace Jones, and some other odds and ends.
Some of them still have the stickers from a long gone great Philly area record store called Plastic Fantastic.
Nice finds!
Hasil Adkkns – Gonna Have Me A Yard Sale
All right!
A few days ago I walked by a Little Free Library, except instead of for books, it was for LPs. Unfortunately it was closed for some reason, but I’ll be back.
Here’s one from my dad’s LP collection
Back in the days when I was still a crate digger, before I transcended the physical aspect of recorded music, I used to love searching out Chicago-style stepping music and House.
Luigi Vuoto
if you have any reords you want to rehome let me know. i can provide pics of enclosed room to alay any fears of them getting loose. also references if needed.
Dude, I wish I had known. I gifted them all to a couple of great Chicago DJs when I moved away over a decade ago. Since we were moving across the country we had to make some hard choices and I decided to make the leap away from music as artifact.
I’ve never been too lucky in yard sales finding the music I am looking for but I found a few obscure ones that were out of print that I really wanted at used music stores & half price books. When I ran into this CD, I was blown away, I didn’t even know it existed. I had their other album I thought was the only one…
and when I find Hawaiian bands albums that I know had very small distribution, I can’t help myself…
Raphael Saadiq – 100 Yard Dash
ooo…i remember this topic froma couple years ago..or was it last year?
i dunno but i am going to post the same thing as then…coz it really is the last record i found
its still a trip tho
basically the last record ive ever bought too…..unless you count pokey lafarge….wich i bought for me mum for shits and giggles and without warning her…..she was quite confused to recieve an order under her official name she didnt place
I figure all the unwanted stuff has bad mojo. I’m going to have to sage the third floor (home to the records and a whole bunch of equipment). In fact yard sale finds may have the devil inside.
