I've been finding a good selection of LP's at the thrift store lately. Now mind you I am no vinyl purist nor am I a collector of lp's. I only look for records from the 1960's and 1970's that look good enough for me to convert to wav files & mp3 so that I don't have to purchase them on cd. Many of these records I will attempt to sell at either a garage sale or on eBay after I've converted them. To me lp's are just big and bulky and take up more space than I can afford to spare. Additionally, I don't want to keep things around that I don't use much. After converting them they just sit there gathering dust, never to be used by me again. As I said I am not a collector. I just want the music. There are certain lp's I will keep, however, such as the brand new ones I have bought over the years and ones by artists I really like. But the used ones I have been buying at thrift stores have no emotional attachment for me.
Here is the most recent batch of records I found which was just last week. First up is "2 Hot" by Peaches & Herb from 1978:
The 5th Dimension "Reflections" from 1971:
"Soft & Soulful" by Bill Medley (1969):
Paul Mauriat & His Orchestra "Gone is Love" (1970):
Bobby Goldsboro's "Greatest Hits" (1970):
Various Artists "Family Portrait: 16 Outstanding Selections Rrom A&M Records" (1967)
And finally, "Close To You" by The Carpenters (1970):
More findings to come!
