The kind of day you hope for at the thrift

Posted by vinyl phanatic (A) on April 29, 2015 at 18:24:40

Went to the local Goodwill today and just as I was about to leave without finding much, a girl started emptying records from the bins, so I hung around, just in case. Sure enough, she started bringing more out and then kept on bringing more. There ended up being four of us going through them, but the others were looking for different things than I, so I still ended up with close to 40 nice records. Here are some highlights:

The Lawrence Brown is an early EMI issue, and sounds great. Listening now, a really fun record. The Miles isn't the earliest pressing, but it looks unplayed.

The Maynard Ferguson is an EMI pressing. A very early stereo, recorded 1957. Some claim that the cover art on the Artie Shaw is by Warhol, but it almost certainly is not. A really rare record, nonetheless. I have never seen it before. A mix of classical and popular pieces with orchestra, string quartet and jazz band. I'm interested to hear it.

The UK Brunswick of Louis Armstrong at the Crescendo seems to be pretty scarce.

There was classical as well. Shaded dogs and 6 eyes

All in all, not a bad day. Best one I've had in a while.
