So, yesterday was the first trip into Underdog Records of 2018. The BCPF and I got some good stuff, I believe. I filled in a couple of empty spaces on the RS list and one from the Eugeology list, too. The overall haul was short, but the depth was good! Let’s hit it…

  • Mavis Staples – If All I Was Was Black (new)
  • Motörhead – Another Perfect Day (the last entry on the Eugeology list; new)
  • Wu-Tang Clan – Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) (#387 on the RS list, new)
  • Bruce Springsteen & The E-Street Band – Live / 1975-85 (the box set that, in my opinion, started the whole box set trend that continues to this day; 5xLP; VG++)
  • ‘Til Tuesday – Voices Carry (not technically new, but still sealed and never listened to; NM copy)
  • Stan Getz / João Gilberto Featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim – Getz / Gilberto (#447 on the RS list and possibly the album I was most excited to get and it sounded great, even though Jonathan had it at VG-)
  • Mendelssohn, Arleen Auger, Ann Murray, The Ambrosian Singers, Philharmonia Orchestra, Neville Marriner – A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Complete) (NM)
  • Kansas – The Best Of Kansas (I had this on CD and wore it out; VG+)
  • Warren Zevon – Sentimental Hygiene (other than “Werewolves of London” I don’t know much by Mr. Zevon, but my Bro-in-Law (The BCPF’s brother) looks like him, VG+)
  • Mott The Hoople – Live (VG+)
  • The Alan Parsons Project – Tales Of Mystery And Imagination (like a mixture of thriller film soundtrack and Pink Floyd with Edgar Allen Poe poetry for lyrics; VG; $1 bin find)
  • Nat King Cole – Nat King Cole’s Greatest! ($1 bin find; VG)
  • Jackson Browne – Lawyers In Love ($1 bin find; VG)

Right after we left yesterday, Jonathan got in a used Audio-Technica ATLP120 in like-new condition with an upgraded cartridge. It has already sold but he gets stuff like this in nearly every day. Follow them on Instagram to keep track of what comes through there, as it comes through there. Great deals to be had there, in equipment and records, obviously! We also love using Discogs to keep track of what we have, info on the records, who produced what, who played on what and so on. Plus, there’s a marketplace if you’re not finding the stuff you need elsewhere. Check them out.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
