Old Vinyl

On Saturday went up to Apollo Records on Austin in Coquitlam. They were having their semi-annual "lets sell everything in the store" sale. There wasn't much in the CD bins. My friend was bound and determined to go through them all so I looked through the LP bins. Unbelievable! Everything there was for $1.00. After 45 minutes there was the grand total of $17 spent. That is less than the cost of a new CD. Do you remember?

Leon Russell and the Shelter People
Al Stewart - Time Passages
The Mason Williams Phonograph Record
The Lilac Time - Paradise Circus * been looking for that one for years
Elvin Bishop
Dan Reed Network - Slam * another rarity
Jeff Healy Band - See the Light
and 10 more - Genesis, Elvis Costello, Lou Reed, The Grapes of Wrath....

And at this point no noticeable scratches. You seem to appreciate the music when you have to get up every 20 minutes to either change the LP or turn it over.
