Spent a rockin' 3 hous in Last Vestige Saratoga yesterday and came away with some great finds...
Here they be:
Pond: S/T (grey marble)
Killing Joke: Fire Dances
Aerosmith: Permanent Vacation
Joe Public: Live and Learn 12"
Alphaville: Afternoons In Utopia
Bryan Adams: Into The Fire
New Order: Low-Life
Montell Jordan: Somethin' 4 Da Honeyz 12"
Superchunk: On the Mouth
Go West: We Close Our Eyes 12" (club mix)
Echo & the Bunnymen: Porcupine
Echo & the Bunnymen: S/T
Depeche Mode: Speak & Spell
The Waterboys: Promo Mini LP ('83)
Michael Jackson: Remember the Time 12"
Michael Jackson: In the Closet 12"
Sinead O'Connor: The Lion and the Cobra
Also picked up a live Waterboys concert from '85, but it was on a compact format that will not be spoken of here.
Overall, quite pleased... If I get time, I'm gonna stop by the Albany location because their ebay store shows them having two Doll By Doll records (although NOT Gypsy Blood), a promo copy of Prince's The Gold Experience (on double gold LPs!!!), and a marble version of Hounds of Love that I would looooove to have (although it has a promo hole punch in the corner....
Topics for future discussion:
- describe the feelings you get when you have to put records back in the bin that you would love to have, but can't afford.
- how do you feel about Promo copies with promo stamps or holes or other various shapes to denote the promotional qualities of them. Do you wait to find a real deal copy? What if the promo copy is special on its own?
- How many versions of a record are enough? Do you like to collect multiple pressings? Colors? Etc.
- What is your favorite pre-record hunting routine?
I would also like to give some year end lists of favorite finds, best new releases, best deals, and more... If ya got the plums, dive right in.
Oh, and Merry Christmas from Pancakes and Records. Next year we'll record a Christmas song for you, right Adam? Maybe even a Christmas shirt that has a big picture of a tree and says Luv Yer Needles. '09 here we come!! ;)
