I had given up on thrifts..

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

....because they're all totally picked over in NYC, and anyway Academy has better stuff for fifty cents than they have for a dollar.
But I got a tip, so I went to one. Twenty bins of LPs they had, about 75% classical. I viewed 2000 records and bought 6:
Mussorsky, Pictures, Ansermet/OSR London (mid-70s reissue)
Chopin, Nocturnes, Moravec, Connoisseur (later issue)
Rimsky-Korsakoff, Scheherezade, Kondrashin/Concergebouw (again, late)
Knappertbusch Conducts Wagner, MCA (very late)
Britten, Winter Words, UK EMI HQS (an original at last, a stickered-for-export Odeon)
Jethro Tull, Thick as a Brick (original fold-out newspaper cover, minty)
I've had five or six of the Kna, and none of them played very well. It's a great performance that gets big $$$ on eBay for the original, which I've never even seen a copy of.
They also had a gatefold Aqualung, the jacket was mint but the record was bad, so I didn't take it.
The bill was $6.50 with tax.
