| Hi Jeff (nacog),
Yes, I have found a lot of albums in thrift stores (Goodwill and St. Vincent dePaul). I have probably paid a total of $20 for these albums. In about six weeks time I found (or was given):
The Lonely Bull
South of the Border
Whipped Cream and Other Delights
Going Places
What Now My Love
SRO
Sounds Like...
The Beat of the Brass
Christmas Album
Warm
Greatest Hits
Herb and Hugh - Main Event
Rise
I have duplicates of The Lonely Bull, South of the Border, Going Places, SRO, Sounds Like..., and The Beat of the Brass. Some of my duplicates have a few skips, but all of the albums in my main list (above) play very well.
I am really only missing Volume Two and Herb Alpert's Ninth (from the early years). I would "go nuts" if I found Al Hirt's "Green Hornet" for less than full ebay price. So, I will keep searching...finding them is half the fun.
By the way...do you use record album (outer) sleeve covers. I ordered 100 plastic inner sleeves from Sleeve City. They put 200 outer sleeves in with my order. I contacted them and they didn't want them back (too much hassle and cost for reverse shipping). So...if anybody had Volume Two and/or Herb Alpert's Ninth and/or Al Hirt's Green Hornet...well...I have 200 brand new clear plastic outer record sleeves. As Monty would say...let's make a deal.
Sorry for rambling...and wishful thinking. :wink: All the best.
