Nice Vinyl Find at Record Store Today

Alice in Chains Jar of Flies/Sap "limited edition double-vinyl."

Not sure what it's worth or how "limited" it is, but I've been searching for it forever:

Snagged it for a mere $4.99 at the same store where I found Temple of the Dog on vinyl a few years back (that one was also $4.99).

    $5 for each of them? :-o

    Im sure the TOTD is worth loads more than that!

    Yep, $5 for each.

    Neither are mint (I'd rate the vinyl itself NM and the cover VG on both), but geez, you can't beat that price on either.

    There's nothing better than digging through an indie store's used vinyl and discovering something really, really special. 8-)

    When the original release of the CD came out there were plastic flies in the jewel case.

    And not that anyone really cares, but I picked up the AIC along with Depeche Mode "Violator," Wings "Greatest," and The Streets "The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living" for less than $20 combined. 8-)

    I used to have one of those. Had to sell it though when I was desperate for money just before senior year of college. :(

    The album in this thread is the vinyl though, not the CD, just in case there was any confusion.

    That's awesome. I ended up scoring that LP on ebay last year for $26 and I thought that was a steal. Nice going.

    Equally great is the Mad Platter in Riverside. Great selection of new and used records at very fair prices.

    I still regret seeing Lost Dogs there about a year ago for $29.99 but passing on it because I already own it.

    Just went back to the same store and found a copy of the New Orleans 2000 official boot. God I love indie music stores! :D

    Yes, very lucky. And they are quickly going the way of the dinosaur -- so many have disappeared in the past decade or so.

    On a side note, at Rhino today they were also selling CD copies of all of the Christmas singles. The CDs were bundled together as a package. They looked authentic, but they must have been bootlegs, right? I mean, has the 10C ever released the Xmas singles in CD format?

    Seems weird that a reputable indie shop would sell those.

    I once caught Amoeba selling bootlegs of a client's live show. We were thinking of sending him down there with a camera crew to confront them firsthand!
