    After getting back from the Columbia show, I found in a used cd bin copies of vs, no code, and yield. Got them all for $15. I will use them for a project since due to seeing those albums played live.

    I always buy copies of any pj album I find in the wild - I will give them all away at some point :)

    This thread makes me miss my thrift store so hard I can't stand it. :frowning:
    That said the 'new' place still can't hold a candle to the old place, BUT I was able to get the Jungle Book and a bunch of bilingual Jules Verne kids books for my nephew for $3.

    Never occurred to me to look through the CDs. That'll be next.

    Came away empty today. Seems that everything I find that's worth getting, I already have. I think I'll probably have to go the Amazon route to get some stuff I've been looking for.

    Wife got a couple of DVDs though.

    So my wife just found at the local Salvation Army:
    The Clash - London Calling
    Still Little Fingers - Wasted Life
    The Pogues - Poguetry in Motion
    The Pogues - Of I Should Fall From Grace With God

    All were framed, I don't think any have ever been played. And got them for $3.00 (Cdn!!) each. Pretty rare finds in our small town.

    Found this in the bins today sealed. It was traded in and the store must have thought it was a new reissue. I noticed it didn't have the hologram sticker on the back, so I knew it was older. On the back it had a RCA Music service stamp, so I took a chance on it knowing it would be all analog and a perfect sealed all analog ZOSO is something I didn't have...so bought it. Sounds great, and after some research, found out it is a 1975 club edition. Sealed from 1975, opened today at my house and finally played.. a good day!

    Perhaps the greatest record of all time sealed?
    Yes, thank you.

    @MedozK when you're looking for CDs what's the easiest way to identify the pressings?
