I bought some lps at a yard sale today...
there were about a hundred or so and I passed on the Nugent and Hagar, and even the Eurythmics and Kate Bush, but I found a few, and all are in really good shape! (Except the covers are worn on a couple) They were 2$ apiece!

Let's see I found
Procol Harum "...A Whiter Shade of Pale" on the original Deram label! Iused to have it a long time ago and it had a poster that hung on my bedroom wall for years...
T.Rex... It just has a white cover and is called T.Rex but it has "Ride A White Swan" on it which I remember when I was a kid and liking...Really, that song and "Bang A Gong" are the only T.Rex songs I know.
Cheech and Chong "Big Bambu"...I bought it because it still had the giant rolling paper in it!
Elvis Christmas Album...It looks like it's never been played, plus it comes with an album of, get this! real color photos! This lp says it's "A New Orthophonic Recording" but it has a barcode on the back...
David Bowie "The Man Who Sold The World"...this lp had te cartoon cover of the guy carrying a rifle with the clocks in a tower shot out.
Bill Nelson "Northern Dream"....this is his first record, from 1971! and looks like a limited release...I liked BeBop Deluxe and his solo stuff from then but have never heard this before!
And a double record, the "Enigma Variations" a sampler from that label in the 80s...looks like from the writing all over the cover this once belonged to KUOI FM from Moscow Idaho...

Anyways I thought this was a pretty good find for a yard sale.

1. Great finds! I've got BeBop Deluxe and some of the others.
You'd like the album called "Slider" by T.Rex.
