this sunday i met in a cold McDonald's parking lot in the middle of Maine with $325 rolled up in my shirt pocket. my palms were sweating when i saw my source roll in - the little blue civic hatchback was just as described - and so piled high with vinyl i thought it might bottom out entering the parking lot.

i'll post a gloat... err... i mean 'score' post as soon as i can document it all. the only way i will make sense of all of this stuff is make a big list - which is a lot of fun too. :)

but, the short version is that i got like 30 jazz books, a kerouac 3 CD box set and somewhere between 250 and 300 jazz records. yes, for $325. the selection is very similar to my earlier jazz 'score' posts (a mix of rarities, re-issues and some mediocre stuff i will eventually purge). there is a larger selection of 70's and 80's records this time - because i took *everything* the guy had instead of trying to pick and choose over the phone. i shudder to think of the killer records i missed out on with our flawed system the first time around.

i'll post the full list when i compile it, but right now i am spinning the lee morgan side of 'best of birdland vol. 1' on roulette and soon i will flip it coltrane's side. :)
