Charity store bin diving? Am I the only one that suffers this addiction?


Pretty much as the title says, lol.
I frequent a number of local charity store or thrift shops if you prefer.
There are good and bad days for lp,s and cd,s.

Today was an exceedingly good day!

4 original Deep Purple albums, Billy Cobham, Grand Funk, Styx, Animals, Live, Metallica. etc etc

22 albums total for just $12.

Anybody else addicted to the thrill of the hunt?

I hated every single aspect of London even when I lived there so not surprised at all.

But by inference I was primarily talking about USA charity shops.
That is my present scope of reference.



btw, chazzas must be relatively new slang as nobody ever called them that when I lived there which was right up to about November 2000.
In my neck of the woods the charity shops are still open so in my enforced downtime still picking em up.
Few more this morning.
Hopeless case I agree!
I just come home with maybe 50 FREE lps. Most common  rubbish like Benetar and such, but I got 12 different Lightfoot titles.

The record store's lease is up and they have declared all non-essential stores have to close down by midnight today.

All used vinyl  there was 50% off .
$40  got  me:

Swegas (Uk press)

Joe (not Jeff) Beck - Nature Boy (a $50 lp. Interesting story on the making of this lp.)

Rakfogo (Hungarian fusion band which none of youse heard of)

Weather Report -Black market (shit band but I can trade this off and...only cost me $2.50)

Manfred Mann - Up The Junction (rare soundtrack that is excellent)

Jeremy Steig -this is (Jazzrock flutist that doesn't give the other great musicians in the band a chance to solo.  Hey I just realized a connection: Joe Beck was in Steig's band ,Jeremy & the Satyrs!)

New York Rock & Roll Ensemble (baroque rock - not that good)



And for a friend I got these lps:
Wolf -saturation Point (UK)
Crow - Crow music
Colosseum - Daughter of Time
Candy ( great psychish-pop soundtrack with Ringo Starr,Peter Sellers,etc.)

Only one local charity shop still open today.
Soon be pretty much total lockdown here, shopping malls closed.
Hopefully these measures have the required effects.

However still scored 3 LP.
Jaco Pastorius, Al DiMoella and Smokey Robinson.

Cleaning them now.

Be safe out there!
Uh, those measures might be too little too late, especially in your state. Should there be a poll for the dumbest state?
