Well in terms of classic albums, the other day I managed to get a full copy of Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life on Vinyl for $1 at a thrift store. Also got a copy of Jan Johansson's Jazz på svenska, which is something I usually wouldn't expect to find at a thrift store in Alberta.

one month passes...

.@oryxofelia wanted to hit a thrift store so while she was perusing dated fashion at the local @GoodwillIntl I hit the CD section not expecting much. I found far more than I could have hoped for for only 99¢ a pop. pic.twitter.com/LGtQsqPyxm

Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Saturday, 27 March 2021 16:48 (three years ago) link

The Sarah Brightman was for her; the Therapy? CD single was the most unexpected thing to find and the Willie Nelson tribute has some great bands on it.

Already started listening to the Methods of Mayhem. Wow, does it suck, haha!

two years pass...

Hardly obscure, but here I am listening to The Good, the Bad and the Queen for the hundredth time, got it for a dollar in some cutprice store a decade ago. I love the Allen/Simonon grooves so much.

At my local thrift store today I was able to pick up a copy of Sagittarius's Present Tense on vinyl for $1. It was missing its inner sleeve, and had a few scratches, but overall, pretty good condition.

Oh, Sagittarius, yeah! Curt Boettcher is a lost legend in pop apocrypha, I say along with Scott Miller, Fred Frith, you could add Paddy McAloon but that'd be pushing since he was so big as well... love all of them though.

To add something, I got the 12" repress of the Ice Hockey Hair EP from the Super Furry Animals a while back for free from this local shoppe. Insane they let me walk out of there with it having paid zilch, the T/T is still gold.
