Salutations™!!
Before we went to Hoots Beer Company‘s anniversary/Oktoberfest release, The BCPF and I still made our routine morning happen, including walking, farmers’ market, Mary’s Gourmet Diner and, yes! Underdog Records. We got some good stuff, too. Here’s what we picked up!
©Columbia Records
- The War On Drugs – A Deeper Understanding (been hearing a lot of good things about this album and had to have it, I dug it, The BCPF loved it, new)
- Miles Davis – Kind Of Blue (180g, mono, audiophile version of the greatest selling jazz album of all time, #12 on RS Top 500 of All Time, new)
- Charles Mingus – Mingus Ah Um (I wanted something that was comparable to Wayne Shorter’s Speak No Evil because I really dug that, Jonathan recommended this, new)
- Pink Floyd – The Final Cut (previously purchased but still sealed, so I can’t really say used, picked up by The BCPF, “new”)
- Eurythmics – Touch (#492 on RS Top 500, VG++)
- Johnny Cash – At Folsom Prison (#88 on RS Top 500, VG)

- Dan Fogelberg – Phoenix (VG+ in the $1 bin)
- Dan Fogelberg – Captured Angel (VG in the $1 bin)
- Orchestra And Chorus Of Henry Mancini, The – Dear Heart And Other Songs About Love (I have come to learn that I really, really, really dig me some Henry Mancini)
- Henry Mancini, His Orchestra And Chorus – Big Screen – Little Screen (More Mancini)
- Philip Bailey – Continuation

- The Monkees – More Of The Monkees
So, yeah, a good haul. We didn’t get to listen to as much as we usually do on Saturday, but we didn’t have a lot to wash because most of the used stuff was in really good shape, and Jonathan had cleaned some to gauge his pricing. While we were there, a young lady came in and asked Jonathan about getting into vinyl. I get excited about that. She was probably early- to mid-twenties. Jonathan is great for that kind of guidance. And, when you get into the collecting aspect, use Discogs to archive, and chronicle your collection.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory. Falling on my head like a new emotion. I want to walk in the open wind. I want to talk like lovers do. I want to dive into your ocean, Is it raining with you?” – “Here Comes the Rain Again” (Lennox/Stewart)
made off with a ton of stuff, mostly from the $1 bin – you’ll maneuver a plethora of great finds there, so don’t be afraid of the $1 bin. So, here’s the rundown for this week:
