Vinyl Find of the Week?

In local stores, I just found a real nice, clean copy of Dead Can Dance's "Spleen and Ideal" for $5, a sealed Italian pressing on the Deutsche Grammophon label of Bohm/Schubert Symphonies 5 & 9 for $2.99, and a clean & quiet Columbia two-eye copy of Bernstein/Tchaikovsky's 5th Symphony for 99 cents. Plus an Ebay score of 17 MINT Stravinsky albums from mid-60's through mid-70's for $12.99. Many of them are very desirable albums, I couldn't believe no one else bid on them. Perhaps the sellers no feedback score for vinyl sales people scared away.

Last week I got a a nice clean copy of Sgt Peppers Mono at Goodwill for 99 cents.

I bought 1300+ LPs at $150. Mixed lots - classical, jazz, pop, rock, folk, easy listening, ...
Over half of them in (very) good listening condition.
It was a deal of my life time.

Today's find: an original copy on Riverside of "Thelonious Himself" solo piano. One of my favorites.

My stepson found a NM Japanese pressing of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" at an antique pavilion for $10. The same thing on eBay with water spots on the cover was going for over $150 at the time.

I also got the Sheffield "King James Version" at this antique pavilion for $3. Since I've been a big band fan all my life, the music isn't cheesy to me, and it's one of the best *sounding* albums I've ever heard.

I got a collaboration of Mel Torme and Buddy Rich direct-2-disc in NM condition for $4 at a record show.

Although they don't have great market value, I find many reissues to be well done. I have the early '70s Columbia reissue of "Kind of Blue." Got it at a record show for $8, and I think I like it better than the 200g Classic Records reissue--a little cleaner and faster sounding. But maybe I need to raise the VTF a little to accommodate the thickness of the 200g pressing.

In classical I like the Columbia reissue series, "Great Performances". I have a Stokowsky of the Bizet Carmen and L'Arlesienne suites and George Szell and the Cleveland Symph that I got at thrift shops for $1 ea. The recording, pressing, and performance quality on these are all excellent.
