Bargin Priced LPs

The Best of - Judy Garland

Possibly paid around 2 bucks for this double lp of hits. Judy was my Aunt Barbara's favorite so this album has a special place in my heart.  

Crispin Hellion Glover - The Big Problem?

Glover takes a leaf out of Morrison's book on this one, spoken word, unreleased songs, and crazy sounds. It ever has a Charles Manson song on it. Spooky.

Th Best of - Donovan

One of the many comps to sell Donovan on Hickory 

Tears For Fears - Songs From The Big Chair

For awhile I was hearing this Head Over Heels all over the place; in stores, on the radio, Donnie Darko.... It was a no brainer to buy this album. 

Rhinoceros - Rhinoceros 

70's psych on Elektra album that I took a chance on for $5. It's not bad, it's not good but the cover is out of this world and continues to gatefold. 

The Simon Sisters

Early album featuring Carly with her sister Lucy before she was famous. Together the two sing really cute songs for kids. I'll hang on this album for my kids one day. 

Fat Cats: Record store number two in Boone!

Fat Cats was the store we were originally trying to get to in Boone. This store was a little weird, a little crazy, and all cool. Big wall with record crates on the left side, and video rentals on the right of the store. Chatted for a good long while with a cool shopkeep in here, he suggested a great Thai place that we went to after.

Ramona: "This has Superstition on it. Enough said. Also, it has the braille inside."  

Ramona: "60s band, famous for Knock Three Times, and famous for from the movie Now and Then. Kind of like Ohio Express, very sing-along sixties style."

Ramona: "Never heard of this dude. On Vanguard, looks like early Baez and Dylan, one of those folk singers, dirty hippy in wingtips types. Should be interesting!"

Ramona: "Ike and Tina Turner Live at Carnegie Hall. Tri-fold, double LP, with lots of pictures of the happy couple, including one of Ike with machine gun bullets on a belt around his scrawny torso. Hopefully it has a lot of raw, live singing from Tina. Has Proud Mary, and Piece of My Heart."

Mr. Empty: "Picked this record up because I'm descended from Stonewall Jackson on my father's side, and I thought this guy might be related to me. Turns out that's a stage name, so, bummer. Anyway, Ramona tells me this is a rare record. It better be good or I'll just be disappointed all around."

Mr. Empty: "Found this record once in Fat Cat's for like $10, which isn't terrible but it's a little more than I usually am in the mood to pay for a Herb Alpert album that isn't Whipped Cream. So I put it back, and then when I went to their discount, "3 for $5" crates, I found it and got it for a lot cheaper. I haven't listened to this particular record but everything he did with Tijuana Brass is really great jam music."

Mr. Empty: "Classic BOC, not in the best condition, but I got it for nice and cheap, so I don't mind. "

Mr. Empty: "A later Carly Simon record, she started to get a little ragged with the hair but that's okay. I still dig it. :P"

Mr. Empty: "This is a Little Red Riding Hood record. Look at that scary-ass wolf! So many teeth!"
