I own stuff from a lot of these artists, but the above album is all that I currently own/have heard in full. So to me this one album is worth the 23 dollars plus tax that you paid, placing everything else firmly in a boat of gravy.

Brendan said:

About 2/3 of the lot will be additional copies, the JA - Me Myself I, will be a first copy.

HALF PRICE BOOKS is
the shit right?!?!?!

I had fount Conquistador
& Football for $1 there too
the one in North Dallas

some cool records

very impressive on lee oskar. A couple of those you have are harder to find than his other stuff.

...

Great grabs!!!

BTW, that Maynard Ferguson 'Conquistador' album really took me back, ! I remember loving the "Mr Mellow" track...and I always liked his version of the "Rocky" theme better than the original....






...

the covers were cool back then...

outside of "Mr. Mellow"
my favorite moment from
that album is the
"Theme From Star Trek"
OMG... his horn is amazing
within the last 30 seconds
or so of that song

takes me back to when
I played trumpet
I never could go real high tho

I love that Pointer Sisters'
record by the way
"Sleeping Alone" is fucking dreamy

StarMon said:

I will spend all day in that MF
one time I was there so long
the workers were starting to like
monitor me... one broad just kept
lookin (you know how you can
feel eyes on you)
I just started talkin to the air
(very crisp & clear... and you know
it already be quiet as hell in there)
"I don't steal!
hell what I look like tryin to steal
a fuckin vinyl album in middle of the summer
dressed in a wifebeater & jeans...
where am I gonna hide the shit at?"

she got ghost quickly

StarMon said:

DirtyChris said:

Wow...
I was there about an hour, I never really experienced that there, but other places I have. Although I hadn't been there in a while, back in the day I use to sell my extra promo's to them and spent hours on end in that sucka' on digs.

Yeah that's crazy, thinking up would lift some used vinyl.

I bet she thought to herself, this fool's crazy.

I don't dig how they store the 7" singles, kinda rough.

theAudience said:

I can dig it, that's a nice LP. I love it.

StarMon said:

yeah... I called myself
tryin to dig through those once
and saw some of the prices
I was thinking they'd be like 50 cent
or something like that
boy was I wrong LOL...

I do like it how they had
one of those lil lunchbox record players
down there so you could sample them
if need be
I love that place
sans that one incident

and yeah I'm sure all those
people around me thought
I was crazy too ROTFL
that was the whole idea

you have to let some folks know
early on that ass can get crazy

Cinnie said:

This thread has inspired me to go on another vinyl dig Can't wait til this weekend.

DirtyChris said:

..
keep it movin' (vinyl that is).

SoulAlive said:

I'm always inspired to dig, every time you guys post about a dig.
I just so happened to have time to do so, and will try to do another soon.

when I jet to Houston in a few weeks
I'm gonna TRY to find a wrecka stow

being I know absolutely NOTHING
about the city, it won't be
an effortless task

see when I'm in Dallas
it don't matter what part
I can hop my ass on that train
and GET to North Dallas

if I don't know how to get
nowhere else in Dallas
I know how to get to HALF PRICE BOOKS
in North Dallas, and the BIG T BIZZARE
in Pleasant Grove

DirtyChris said:

I wish I had witnessed that.

And it speaks volumes for your character that you could clearly paint the picture without caring too much about what others might think who don't necessarily understand.

Sometimes people do things that make no sense, and it's probably best to let them know.
