Few Things I picked up recently....

[ironmountain]

Been selling off a few hundred lps that my neighbor gave me before they moved to Colorado. All are classic records.They've been selling decently. Whenever I get to a thrift store or st vinny I see what they have. The St. Vin near the inlawssells their records for 25-50 cents apiece. They usually consider box sets etc as "one" record. When we were up there a bit after xmas, bro-in-law and I went there to scout. Their LP/78/45 "shelf" is 30-40' long, 5' high and on both sides. It's amazing. This was a good buy for .50cents methinks...Very clean and both volumes.The covers are done by Alex Steinweiss...he was the guy who "invented" the album cover.Handel: The Messiah Columbia Masterworks 1947 MM-666.Malcolm Sargent & Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Huddersfield Choral Society it's been a few years, but this is what it sold for in 2010:[style="line-height: 13px;"][font="verdana,arial"]Week Ending 06/26/2010

Here are a few others..love the john brim. He's the guy who wrote "Ice Cream Man"..the song that Van Halen covered.His wife also played drums on a bunch of his stuff. Decently rare. The Zion one is pretty cool. Couldn't really find any info about that particular recording so contacted a professor from the Jewish Music Society and he contacted the discography archivist. Said the only other one he's seen was the copy he had years ago...I just like the disc. I like the Bones McAfee disc. vitacoustic was around from '47 to '48 in Chicago. also picked up a lighted magnifier. Clamp on style for drafting tables and the like. Great for taking pics of coins and small MD stuff...only paid 5$ for it.
