lynnm Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 I buy most of my vinyl at garage sales. Today the only record I bought was Supercussion by Dick Schory's Pecussion Pop Orchestra ( RCA LSP-2613 )released in 1963. This was essentially a promo by RCA Victor shilling for their DYNAGROOVE process. That said the sound quality is marvelous and the performances are really excellent What "Less than promising" LPs have you picked up at garage sales/thrift shops that turned out to be unexpected gems?

ShapeShifter Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Over a year ago I made a thrift store find, a 1967 release on the Cadet label LPS-784, Mood to Be Wooed. It has eleven titles played by four excellent tenors; Illinois Jacquet, Budd Johnson, James Moody and Sandy Mosse. The eleven songs all have a romantic theme or tone. The only thing one needs is a cozy sofa, wine, candles and their significant other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I managed to pick up Sgt Peppers with all the cutouts and I found the Sgt Peppers picture disc included as well for $2 : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale W Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Lynnm: I check the bargain finder every thursday morning , last week i picked up 150 western oldies for $30.00 . Tomorrow night i'm going to look at 250 mixed 50's LP's for $65.00 , lots of LP's our there for next to nothing. I'm so glad that folks have no clue how good they can sound and what there worth . Some of the " canadian " presses are amoung the best vintage LP's to be had, we have a gold mine up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 Bruce Cockburn's "dancin' in the dragon's jaws." My wife heard the song, "Wonderin' Where The Lion's Are" on a TV show and asked me to buy the CD. The next day I was at the thrift shop and there it was. The first lp in the stack. Almost perfect condition too. I was amazed at the sound quality. It's now one of our favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynnm Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 I just gave it a spin. I had forgotten how well performed and recorded that piece is. I picked up about 6 of his LPs recently. He has always been an interesting artist. Thanks for nudging my memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Blacksmith Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 ---------------- ...This was essentially a promo by RCA Victor shilling for their DYNAGROOVE process. That said the sound quality is marvelous and the performances are really excellent I also have 2 "demo" lps for Dynagroove and they are excelent. Truly an all out effort to get the most possible out of an lp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
