- The Mamas & The Papas – 16 Of Their Greatest Hits (VG+)

If you’re looking to get into vinyl again and need a turntable, currently Jonathan has a JVC L-A11 turntable for sale at Underdog Records. Semi-automatic belt drive with auto return. Working cue lever, tonearm counterweight. Brand new Audio-Technica cartridge & needle and a brand new belt. Dust cover is not cracked but has its share of scuffs and scratches. $70. Not a bad deal, at all. He has receivers, too. Ask him about speakers. Don’t forget to listen to The Less Desirables podcast every week to hear what the UDR/TLD special of the week is. All my albums are archived on Discogs where I keep track of my collection, buy, sell (if I wanted) and share with others to see what they have and them what I have. Good resource.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“I been laid off from work. My rent is due. My kids all need brand new shoes. So I went to the bank to see what they could do. They said son – looks like bad luck got-a hold on you. Money’s too tight to mention. I can’t get an unemployment extension. Money’s too tight to mention.” – “Money’s Too Tight (to Mention)” (Valentine/Valentine)
