Not Much Until Now...

We'd have to agree with Dave, this summer has been a dry one for record hunting... for the most part. Over the course of taking a few little short trips to different places checking out thrift stores we did manage to find a few things.

• Edgar Winter's White Trash, Epic 1973
• Dickey Betts & Great Southern, Arista 1977, 1st Pressing VG+
• Mahalia Jackson-Newport 1958, Columbia 1959, 1st Pressing VG+
• Grand Funk Hits (with booklet), Capitol 1976, 1st Pressing VG+
• Melanie-Stoneground Words (with pictures still intact), Neighborhood 1972, 1st Pressing VG
• Melanie-Candles In The Rain, Buddah 1970
• Melanie-Garden In The City, Budduh 1971, 1st Pressing VG
• Steppenwolf-At Your Birthday Party, Dunhill 1969
• CCR-Bayou Country, Fantasy 1969

We found a few more things but that was pretty much about it, until yesterday. My daughter stopped in at a local GW just as they brought a stack of LP's out from the late 70's to early 80's. She got all these for .50 each. All of them range from VG to NM, many with the plastic still on them.
