Hi Everybody, Hope everybody had a great Christmas and New Years. We haven't been able to do very much record hunting since the last post, but the few times we did get to go we didn't do too bad. We made a trip to Half Price Books in Lexington on New Years Day and found around 40 really nice classical recordings for .25 cents each! We also made a trip to several local Goodwills where we found several nice additions for .50 cents each. We found the Al Jolson and the Temptations in Lexington. Unfortunately the Temptations cover is damaged, but the album itself is in pretty good shape. One of my favorites was Sam and Daves Greatest Hits from 1969.
We found this nice RCA Red Seal set of Arturo Toscanini conducting the NBC Symphony Orchestra performing works of Wagner. Not too bad for a quarter!
We also found these nice RCA Red Seals from the early 50's for .25 cents each. They feature two of the greatest classical pianists of all time, Vladimir Horowitz and Artur Rubinstein.
A Columbia Masterworks from 1952.
This was a souvenir album from a tour that George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra did years ago. It's a gold label Epic. All the other classical Epic ones that I've come across have blue labels.
A classic hippie album! I've always been a big Carly Simon fan. I've got almost all of her albums, except the earliest ones that she did with her sister as the Simon Sisters. We found the third one that she did with her sister for .25 cents at HPB in Lexington.
One from the collection. In my opinion, a real classic! In The Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson. H-burg GW for .50 cents.
Another classic from the collection. My daughter found this at the Stanford GW for 1.50. Jefferson Airplane-Bless It's Pointed Little Head. Recorded live at the Filmore East and West. Includes an awesome version of B.B. King's "Rock Me, Baby". It also includes the original artwork.
This was two of my daughters Christmas presents. Emerson, Lake, and Palmer and Grand Funk Railroad. Both live album sets... I think she's got pretty decent taste in music for a 15 year old!
She's also a big fan of The Kinks... here's what she's got so far.That's all we've got for now... have fun huntin'!

Nice catch on the King Crimson and Jefferson Airplane Lps!
Hey Barry,
I would love to see some pics of your Turntable/Stereo...Have you been to Pops or Cd Central?
John...
Hey John, We usually stop at Pop's everytime we check the GW there. You'd never know there was that much in that place by looking at the outside! We've stopped at CD Central a couple times. It's one of the few places that still has 120 minute tapes. I'll put some pics of my stereo equpt. on with the next post I do. It's not real fancy, but it's served me well over the years. Take Care,
Barry
