    This thread got me to start perusing the used CD bins since used vinyl is getting too expensive. Hit up a bunch of Half Price Books over the last few days and picked up:

    U2 - How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and Rattle and Hum
    Aerosmith - Get a Grip
    Van Halen - Live: Right Here, Right Now
    Bush - Razorblade Suitecase

    Nothing over $3

    I found an NM/NM copy of Dr. Dog's Shame, Shame for $11.99 at my record store last week. I thought that was pretty good.

    It's funny how I'm getting excited at finding bargains. I remember when CDs first came out and they were $20. Now you can actually pick up new ones on Amazon for $5.

    Got this early Japan-for-US pressing for .68 cents. You just can't beat these early CD masterings, this one sounds phenomenal.
