OK latest thrift cd "scores"

Return of the Grievous Angel A Tribute To Gram Parsons
Sting The Soul Cages
Emerson, Lake and Palmer Tarkus (lol sometimes I will save a Rush CD from the landfill too)
Jethro Tull Thick As A Brick
Pink Floyd Atom Heart Mother
Charles Musslewhite One Night In America
The Who Quadrophenia MFSL Gold Disc (disc one only)


and a very cool National Semiconductor 1970s digital watch with the RED (Nixie?) electrical digit readout. Score! The Spiderman Watch did not work sadly.

Picked up an old Eico 377 sine/square wave generator yesterday for 5 bucks, a full sleeve of NOS Delco branded RCA 12AU7 and an NOS matched quad of Delco branded Sylvania 6V6GT for a buck each.

Of course the Julio Iglesias type crap is still 4 for $3.
Donquixote99 suggested I rip the bags open and check the albums out, so I did just that, even though I had no intention to purchase any of them. Ripped open about a dozen.
Seems to have done the trick! The bags are gone and all albums are back to 4 for $3. Picked up ten today- Alabama, Eagles, Marshall Tucker, Doobies, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, etc.

Thanks for the tip Don!

Yeah my Savers is starting to do the old price increase also.....

I just do not buy the stuff if it is too much. '

Today I got a Joe Jackson CD, Level 42 CD (who are they anyway?) and the Amadeus fatboy cd soundtrack.

Left behind because the mortage is due: Infinity Speakers (they had a polycell but at $99 no way) a BIC 960 (frozen platter no headshell did not run when I plugged it in) and Wittnauer Automatic watch (i may go get that lol it works)

IMO, one of the best albums ever recorded.

I have that one in horrible condition.

But, it has sentimental value; The sleeve still bears the stain of when a former girlfriend got drunk on Pina Coladas and puked on it. Ah, such fond memories of Judy, warm my heart....
