UNBELIEVABLE 45RPM RECORD FIND!
« on: August 27, 2011, 02:19:21 pm »
My brother shows up last night with about a dozen 45RPM records. He tells me there is a garage sale near his home and he picked them up for $.25 each. The guy knows my taste for the most part and he did good... Journey... Queen... Taco... the "Grease" Theme... some classic Michael Jackson... a Prince record... etc. Overall good stuff from the 80's.

At $.25 each I expected garbage. They looked nice... but as I dropped them in the juke to test I still expected VG maybe.

Every one of them I'd rate EXCELLENT with not a pop or a click to be heard!

Flash forward to today...I take my brother home and we stop at the same garage sale. I browse through the 45RPM pile and manage to find 6 more records I was interested in... including an absolute GEM... I can't believe I found this record... and in absolutely awesome condition... and for a freakin' quarter to boot.

I recorded a bit of it... i'm THAT freaking excited...

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Taking a suggestion from a fell KLOVian...

...I'm going to randomly drop this record in to different slots throughout the year and NOT change the title card.

:D

I'm immune to Rick Rolls.

Mostly because I think that sound is frikkin awesome.  Put it on repeat and listen to it all day. 

Whatever happend to Duck Rolls?  Those need to make a serious comeback.

Which I have on the juke as well I may add!

I replaced "Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast" with Rick for this month.
