Any Lp that was 'seminal' or 'influential' ---- or just really good ... tends to be thrashed thoroughly.Although.
There's always that Hendrix set of WLP's that got sent to the classical-music radio station, or the Father's day gift of a Beatles Uk box that never got played ...
To imagine, at least.
Follow Ups:
'there's gotta be more of those in "minty" condition just waiting to be found. Another possibility; Viet Nam era. GI comes home in a box. Record collection and all his stuff gets loaded up into the attic. Estate sales..! Hmmmm, starting to think like a vulture.
yeah, I've heard about those, and actually knew a couple of people who got some stuff that way, but never the car, or the set of McIntosh equipment ...and yes, it does feel scavenger-ish, but still better than going to a pawn shop, IMO
...'69 Vette, Red with the 396 and a four speed, 22,000 original miles, in a central Michigan barn.All four wheels were locked up due to the brake calipers being seized solid, ditto for the motor. Every seal/gasket in the drivetrain needed to be replaced. The frame was completely rusted out due to the damp conditions of 20 years on a dirt/mud floor. It was covered in an inch of pigeon shit and the interior was totally mouse eaten and shitted on also.
I learned a hard lesson, sometimes the barn car is really hard to restore!
