I had a chance to drop into Second Story books in Rockville MD last week. This is on of my favorite places to dig through bins.Compared to the last time I was there, they've gone upscale! They have a separate vinyl room now, instead of the corner full of boxes. They're set up a collectible section by the door, with nice stuff at _high_ prices. They seem to have a general idea of what is collectible, but some of the prices were crazy.
But, digging the bins still paid off!
Two nice Blue backs. The Karajan was the splurge at $4. Everthing else was $1. ( They must not be 'collectible' :)
A couple of RCA's. I already has the Prokofiev but couldn't pass on this 1S/1S for a buck. Especially since the cover had a newspaper review from a Van Cliburn concert in DC inside! I love finding old reviews inside records.
I had the Beethoven in Mono but had been looking for the LSC.I Love Geiseking. Especially on the english silver Angels.
Copland conducting Copland is the best, this one in Mono. I didn't recognize the Beethoven/Heifetz under this cover. It's the same number and performance as the white covered LSC-1992 which I have.
A fun day in Rockville! I've still never made it to the main store in DuPont Circle, but judging from the 'collectible' prices in Rockville... it might be pricey now.

Cool stuff. I was just at the CD Cellar yesterday and they had just put out a big collection of records along the lines of the ones you have posted… you might want to check it out. Joe's Record Paradise is an amazing place in Silver Spring (as the other poster mentioned) - I generally can get lost in there for several hours. If you're looking for something, they probably have it - I think they have the best selection around (not necessarily the best prices, but BY FAR the best selection).
You apparently found some play-able LPs at Second Story. I have been less fortunate, on many occasions.
Joes Record Paradise in Silver Spring is a great place with lost of vinyl.

Vinyl hasn't been stocked at the Dupont Circle store in at least a couple of years.
The Red Onion on 18th Street had nice vinyl, but the shop was supposed to close in July. The owner said they were thinking of continuing some sort of Internet operation.
Melody Music on Conn. Avenue closed in February.
CD Cellar in Arlington and a few quick stops from Dupont on Metro has some decent vinyl although I am growing leery of the buck floor bins. I've been seeing groove damage and other issues that make 'em sketchy. Still, a few gems have been found. So it's part luck, I guess.

It's been some years now that they have only had records at the Rockville warehouse. Nice finds.
