A Couple New Finds

Hi Everybody, After church was out Sunday, we headed to Nicholasville for lunch. Afterwards we stopped at the GW at Brannon's Crossing. We didn't find too much, but we did come across this 1970 edition of "It's A Beautiful Day". It was originally released in 1969.


At the same store we found this EP by Scandal from 1982 in mint condition.


As far as my stereo goes, just about everything I have is second hand. My receiver is a Soundesign TX 4372. I bought it off a girl I used to work with over 25 years ago. She was a single mom who was needing Christmas money to by presents for her kids. She asked me if I knew anyone who might want to buy a stereo. My little sister was going to college at the time and I first thought it would be good for her to take to school. I was expecting an all-in-one stereo. When she showed it to me I decided to buy it for myself. I've been using it ever since. It seems like it weighs a ton! A couple years ago one of the dial lamps burnt out. That's the only thing wrong with it. I think I paid 25.00 for it and two speakers (that btw I'm still using). The two tape decks (Realistic SCT-60, and Sanyo RDS 22) were both from GW's. The Realistic was 5.50 and the Sanyo was 2.50.


My turntable is a Sansui FR-D25 with an Audio-Technica AT81E Cartridge. In 1981 I traded a friend an old Hondo II Guitar for it, and I've been using it ever since. In addition I've got a Kenwood KX56W and an Ion Profile Pro turntable. I use them with my computer. My daughter picked up an interesting book in Lexington the other day. The Standard Catalog Of American Records by Goldmine, 7th edition. It's really interesting to see what some of these old albums are worth. It also helps in determining what issue your album is. Hopefully we'll get to make another trip soon. Take care everybody.
