Vinyl

^^ That is the most unused vinyl I have seen. It makes you wonder if they considered the album complete and didn't want to throw in some filler track.

I regret.......at the store Saturday saw a Rush Hemispheres album, the red vinyl version for only $29.00. I looked at it briefly but at the time I thought this one also had the poster (which I have already) and a 2-page insert....Neither was included. I just looked it up and I was right....Would have offered the owner $20...I may go back soon and do that.

That's a good story, TCat. Deals like that don't come around any more.

You all make me feel like paying an unscheduled visit to one of the indoor flea markets nearby and buying a whole crate of stuff w/o looking ..

Definitely had a similar experience when I came across this dude at a fair in the late-90's, Jack, as he was known, was selling off all his vinyl (unbeknown to me, he wasn't well) - anyway, he had all this rare Euro-Prog stuff, from Ash Ra Tempel to Magma, Hoelderlin to Banco DMS, Le Orme, Guru Guru, Kayak, Eela Craig, Kraan....... - complete discographies, and even really obscure things like Nyl, Vincent Crane/Arthur Brown, and all prices were anything from 15 bucks to the most expensive $38. Yeah, a bit pricey you say, but these LP's were/are worth lots more. I'd spend any between 300-600 bucks and then he'd give 10% discount. Over time, I acquired approx. 82 LP's from him. Next time I rang his place, his wife answered and said he'd passed away......
Still, happy times.
Now, Mr Greg Walker is THE ONE. Probably bought close to 500 vinyls off Greg over the last 10 years.
