recent pickups

Had some time to visit Zingg Records in Warren and got these two sealed LP's. The No Doubt LP Return to Saturn ($10 cost, $20+ value) and Death Cab for Cutie LP ($20 cost, $60 value) made the trip well worth it.

















I then headed over to Sunset Records in Somerset and got a cheap David + David LP ($4, no value) and a OOP LP from the now defunct V2 label featuring Whirlwind Heat ($4, unknown ebay value) it was produced by Jack White. I've been trying to plan a trip back because there is a $100 LP sitting in the bin that is on sale for $18. I also picked up the Beulah original Elephant 6 cd for $8 on ebay (value $25).


















Rember longboxes? The 12" x 6" cardboard/plastic packaging that cd's came with during the 80's and early 90's. Well they are now hot, hot, hot. These things are so cool and I smile every time I get another sealed one. Below are 3 deals I just got. The Lemonheads ($10), Springsteen ($16) and Genesis ($16) are not my music but they are fun to collect. My collection includes about 20 sealed, original boxes and hoping to get lots more. The Nirvana boxes have always been on my want list and over the summer I was able to grab a sealed Bleach cd for $110. It was a steal.

































A recent trip to the local consignment shop produced this great item for $17. A sealed, new Out Of Print KISS chip and dip set for $17 (ebay value $80+). It measures 16" x 16" x 6".
