To make the trip.. and sometimes even fork over a few bucks you don't even want to.. just to get something for the effort.
It happens. You kiss a lot of frogs when scoping out used collections.. but we all dream of that "Porche Speedster sitting under a tarp in the barn" so to speak.. Haha.. I barely do the go see thing anymore.. as most collections wind up being big disappointments.
Break a leg on the new supply.. and post if any winners were found.

But in records analogy it's often a 1977 4-door Maverick.
You may have to flip through 100 or so Mantovani, Sing Along With Mitch, Ray Conniff, Johnny Mathis, The Lettermen, Steve and Eydie, Andy Williams Christmas, Christmas with the King Family, Christmas with everyone else, etc. for each good one, but there probably will be some good ones.
And if you're willing to flip through 1,000 or so, you may even score a rare and valuable one. I've pretty much retired from flipping through LPs at this point, so I'm leaving all those rare ones for you! Good luck!
You forgot the Jim Nabors.
My list could have continued much longer. Jim Nabors, Robert Goulet, Barbra Streisand, The Kingston Trio, cast albums for The Sound of Music and The King and I, Mario Lanza and Lawrence Welk, to name some more.
Yep, all of the above. And this guy was collecting these on ebay.
There was a yellow sticky on every record too, with the condition, year, other info.
I took every Sinatra record, but they were all slow stuff, nothing up-tempo. I've listened to Jonathan Schwartz do his Sinatra show over the years, and I at least appreciate some of it. But these records are the ones that make me dislike him.
It was for the old, uncool people from the 60s, and I'm an old, uncool guy now. Our parents had terrible taste. Different eras I guess.
At least Babs is from my neighborhood.
Oh man... the insipid strings... No wonder they thought rock was devil music. If anything comes from Satan it's that bland torturous 60's schmaltz. And, of course, Jim Neighbors' producer and whatever executive greenlit those albums...not to mention the sheeple that bought them.
Must .... play.... Jim....
Must... play... Jim...
Wait, did you go through the same collection I did???? ;)
Yes, it was all that. And the few that I did take were in pretty bad condition too. A few others I found that day - McCartney Ram, The Doors, Steely Dan Pretzel Logic, Linda Ronstadt with Nelson Riddle orchestra.
Not a total washout, except they are all in wretched condition.
People think of I have LPs so they are great why? Because they are LPs of course I have had people just hand me a bundle of records and I say no thanks and they get insulted like I have to take there records so I am the bad guy right? You should see some of the amps people think I would want get lost take your crumby LPs and garbage amps and go to the dump which is what most people do is figure oh give them to him save us a trip and gas and time. And I was being polite when I said those words. Experienced too many times.
