i was scrounging at this point, but got some pretty decent stuff. i'll post a picture of everything in the boxes at some point. some definite keepers.
 
just got back from a little road trip, and had some major come ups. most were not really records, but here are some things i found:

a bunch of non record finds that soulstrutters might find interesting





these skates are in a decorated metal case, obviously someone took these things to the disco/roller rink weekly. pictures dont do them justice:

this mexi-strat was covered in stickers, but cleaned up great. i got it super cheap with the hard case. needs a little neck work, but besides that its beautiful

everything lights up, but havent recorded with it yet. hopefully everything works

damn t-dog, where you been road trippin?


looks like you gon be :shreddin_it:








looks like im getting that storage unit i mentioned on here last week. more records than i thought and i negotiated the price down a tad. closer to 60 cents a record. enough nice titles to unload in bulk to a couple friends with professional operations. i'll make a little cash and have several crates of listeners (mostly the reggae stuff i mentioned) without too much work. the seller gets more than they would have from any dealer and everyone ends up pretty happy. i'll post pics soon





i did find these 4 blocks from my house. quarter sawn white oak double pews. i'm sitting on one in my kitchen right now:

Some records from a day trip to MTL and the Record show here this wkd. Total blast, the show, but it seems wax is popular again,,, it was retarded after 1/2 an hour. Lot's of young ladies digging though, that a new look I can't argue with.


Nice pews TplDle, I did a bunch of work a few yrs back on Xist Church Cathedral here in town and messed with the pews a bunch. If you want to make them look less churchified and more dining room it's not too hard. PM me I can give the low down.

That's a great Willie Nelson poster find, considering that in the summer of 1983, I was about to be born. You can never go wrong with that "I Want YOU!" Uncle Sam parody.

It is a shame there's water damage but I was really happy to find the poster anyway.

Nice! What was your favorite find?
 
hard to pick just one


max roach/clifford stands out i the jazz and i also enjoy getting 3 sought after record tracks (diana autumn wind, montreal jazz Nick Ayoub,and the ellison) for much cheaper





the brazilian and afro cuban are stellar





but the calypso would be the one because it's a new genre for me
 
yeah coryell goes hard in sharp contrast with the softness of the cover


marin is staying put sinfortunadamente
