It was a beautiful but chilly day in downtown WSNC. The BCPF and I really enjoyed being out and about. We did our normal routine stuff but added a trip to the Krankie’s Craft Fair. We saw some cool things, bought a few small items from local craftsfolk and of course, went to Underdog Records. It was about the fourth time this week I had been in there. It’s just where I go to kill time, to have a nice chat, to thumb through some rekkids, or whatever. I just love being there. Here’s what we got from there this week:

  • Radiohead – The Bends (#111 on the RS List and a really good album from the band; new)
  • AC/DC – Highway To Hell (#200 on the RS List and one that needs to be in any collector’s collection; new)
  • Night Ranger – Dawn Patrol (NM copy, both the vinyl and sleeve is unblemished)
  • Night Ranger – 7 Wishes (NM copy, same as above; someone was ditching they Night Ranger collection)
  • The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown – The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown (yeah, crazy is a good descriptor; original 1968 pressing in VG++ condition; really a good album)
  • Dire Straits – Alchemy – Dire Straits Live (2xLP VG++)
  • Elvis Costello & The Attractions – Armed Forces (#475 on the RS List; VG+)
  • Elvis Costello – This Year’s Model (#98 on the RS List; VG+)
  • Emmylou Harris – Light Of The Stable (NM Christmas album)
  • Emmylou Harris – Luxury Liner (VG+)
  • Jon Anderson – Olias Of Sunhillow (I’ve been on a Yes kick, lately; I haven’t heard this so I don’t know what to expect; VG+)
  • The Alan Parsons Project – Eye In The Sky (VG+)
  • Claude Debussy / Maurice Ravel – Chansons De Bilitis, Fêtes Galantes / Histoires Naturelles (NM)
  • Heart – Magazine (VG+)
  • Heart – Bad Animals (VG; $1 bin find)
  • Burl Ives – Twelve Days Of Christmas (VG+)
  • Michael Gore – Music And Dialogue From The Motion Picture Terms Of Endearment (VG; $1 bin find)
  • Lerner And Loewe’s – Brigadoon: An Original Cast Recording (The BCPF was in a local performance of this show when she was a youngster; VG+; $1 bin find)
  • Joan Baez – Joan (VG; $1 bin find)
  • Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass – Christmas Album (VG; $1 bin find; we listened yesterday and loved it)
  • The Dubliners – Drinkin’ & Courtin’ (VG; $1 bin find; reminded us of sitting in a pub – Scottish, English or Irish)
  • Chubby Checker – Twist With Chubby Checker ($1 bin find; G+)

We really enjoyed what we got to listen to yesterday of this haul. It’s good stuff. Jonathan has gift certificates for sale at Underdog Records. Plus, if you’ve thought about getting into collecting vinyl, but don’t have a turntable, Jonathan has several for sale in the store, new and used. Don’t forget to always listen to The Less Desirables for the week’s TLD/UDR special offer. And, to keep track of what you have, or if you’re looking to buy something you’ve been looking for or to unload stuff, use Discogs. You can use it for CD collections, too.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“No stop signs, speed limit. Nobody’s gonna slow me down. Like a wheel, gonna spin it. Nobody’s gonna mess me around. Hey Satan, paid my dues. Playing in a rocking band. Hey mama, look at me. I’m on my way to the promised land, whoo! I’m on the highway to hell.” – “Highway to Hell” (Scott/Young/Young)
