TheEvan Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Not mine, unfortunately. I did pick up 17 nice titles, all amazingly pristine. My son, who called me about it, got the load...about 6 lineal feet of gems. All sorts of Verve jazz, CTI, lots of good classical. I don't know how this shop got these records, but they're all from a local radio station. The bulk of them were never played. All .25 ea., including double albums and opera sets. Righ now I've got Tony Bennett spinning. Great set, lousy engineering, dead silent surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Sweet Score! It is getting harder and harder to find "pristine" records, but they are still out there! I can see it now Evan, you asking your son to "borrow" some records!!! LOL Nice! Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have probably 400 such records as I was in radio as a young man. Stations would get sent lots of such disks, and if they weren't of the format the station played, they just got stuck on a shelf unopened. Such was the case mostly with jazz and classical.

TheEvan Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 That's exactly the case, Dave. Miriam Makeba's debut album on RCA is an absolute stunner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
