Orange County (CA) residents - GET THEE HENCE to the SA on Mercury Road in Lake Forest! I bought 46 LPs (all @ a buck - there are no deals in life, Sonny) and didn't make a dent in the new stuff that was just put out yesterday (easily 1,000+). Apparently, it never occurred to SA to dribble this veritable trove out in increments.I saw several other enthusiasts crawling and looking and struck up some great conversations w/ 'em (of course, we kept on cullin' - C'mon, are ya nuts?). There are literally crates that have not been looked at, since they're under the ones that are being .
Stuff I bought:
Joni Mitchell: s/t, Mingus, Miles of Aisles
Pentangle: s/t
Traffic: s/t
Lee Michaels: s/t
Jonathan Edwards: s/t
Stones: BTB, England's New Hit Makers
Rare Earth: Get Ready
Ten Years After: Undead, ASIT
Chambers Bros.: The Time Has Come
Elton John: Empty Sky
Fleetwood Mac: Penguin
John Mayall: Turning Point
The Cure: The Top
The English Beat: I Just Can't Stop It
Ambrosia: SINT
Pat Metheny: New Chautauqua, SLT
Hendrix: band of Gypsies
Brubeck: Time Out, GWTW
Ellington: Seattle Concert
Ahmad Jamal: But Not for Me
Chico Hamilton: w/ Paul Horn
Jimmy Smith: Who's Afraid of Virgina Wolff?
Erroll Garner: Deep Purple
Keith Jarrett: Great Moments w/
Sinatra: S4SL, CDwM, TL, OTL, IRT, Just One of Those Things
Quincy Jones: The Dude
Crusaders: Street Life
Moussorgsky: Pictures (2 versions - Ashkenazy and Previn)Stuff I didn't: I left classical there that I'd normally would've picked up in a moment, if I didn't have enuff already in my trembling arms. I put back dupes of stuff I had. There's much more rock, pop, and classical (including opera boxsets), and even some more jazz. Ella, Sinatra, OMD, Split Enz, CSN&Y, Prince, Quincy Jones, Santana, Keith Jarrett (Koln Concert). Plus, the usual like Fleetwood Mac and Boston. There're lotta 45's, also.
I won't even begin ta tell ya that this experience happened after I went to Amoeba on Tuesday and picked up 25 new and used elpees. Like I really needed 70+ to listen to this weekend! Good thing the wife's gone.
I'll stop now if ya promise ta go.

You might not believe it, but I seem to have the hardest time pronouncing your username. &%^)I haven't even gotten around to any of the above yet, since I'm still playing the stash from Tuesday's Amoeba run, LPs like Bill Evans "Conception," Miles' "Steamin'," David Hayes' "Sunbathing in Leningrad," Juan Martin's "Painter in Sound" (one of my favorites), Horace Silver, Chet Baker, Kenny Burrell, Phil Keaggy, Vehicle Flips, Calexico and a blue-vinyl EP by Maids of Gravity. Still, I'll take this dilemma over most others any day.
I'm cleaning all of 'em tonight. Boy, are my hands tired! Not from the cleaning, but because one of my dogs, a half-JRT, has this distressing habit of going out in the backyard and picking up pebbles in her mouth and brings them in to chew directly in front of me - while I'd prefer to be listening uninterrupted to music. She knows it's disturbing enough to me that I'll hafta give her a treat for every time she does it. It's cutting several treats in half that tends to fatigue my hands.
I think she's had enough - she's asleep on the stairs at the moment. And I've got more cleaning to do.

It should've been easily 2,000+, not 1,000+. But, it's been a few hours since I was there.
