Salutations™!!
First off, Happy Guy Fawkes Day.
Yesterday, The BCPF and I got to see our buddies Tony Dagnall and Clay Howard in the same day, at the same time! That was cool. Clay and I sang Happy Birthday to Underdog Records because it was their anniversary weekend. Wednesday, November 1 was their FOURTH anniversary! Woot! Here’s what we walked out with:
- Nick Drake – Five Leaves Left (The BCPF started pawing at this, so we knew we had to get it, it was on the previous RS list, new)
- The Beatles – Help! (#331 on the RS list, new)
- Marvin Gaye – What’s Going On (fantastic album, #6 on the RS list, new)

- Neil Diamond – Jonathan Livingston Seagull (Original Motion Picture Sound Track) (Clay said I should have it, $1 bin, VG)

- Todd Rundgren – Something / Anything? ($1 bin, G)
- Prokofiev / Saint-Saëns, The Boston Pops Orchestra, Arthur Fiedler – Peter And The Wolf, Op. 67 / Carnival Of The Animals (I’ve been looking for Carnival of the Animals by Camile Saint-Saëns for a while, I didn’t even know The BCPF had found this, $1 bin, it’s rough)
As I said, it was the anniversary weekend of Underdog Records. For four years Jonathan has brought vinyl goodness to Winston-Salem. Plus, the holiday season is coming and he’ll offer gift “certificates” for your gift-giving needs. Also, he has several turntables in store for sale if you’re looking for a good one and he said he had some turntables coming soon. The holiday season is the perfect time to get into/back into vinyl. Then use Discogs to catalog your collection.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
