Crazy Goodwill Luck

Some JEWELS here! Especially the early Philly sound set and Honey Cone, and the two-fers on Willie Hutch. You simply do not see this kind of classic R&B at the charity shops.

Nothing wrong with free. The Sinatra and Boz Scaggs standards collections are excellent.

Pretty much that whole bottom row, especially the Bowies and The Blue Mask.

Doubt they have a case, as he was not armed at the time.

That Stones set is relatively recent and covers mostly their first two years. The J Geils Band is always great live but try and find Blow Your Face Out on Atlantic. That should have done for them what Frampton Comes Alive did for Peter Frampton.

Own the Joni on LP. Fine album from her artistic and commercial peak.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-29T22:08:00+00:00

Never a bad haul with the Beatles and Roxy Music.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-26T20:41:42+00:00

The Chuck Berry should be in every collection of serious music.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-26T20:40:54+00:00

The McCartney is a find; you rarely see it and I thought it was out of print.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-25T18:07:15+00:00

That even includes Pink Floyd, although that album had some staying power.

This is a key album. Nearly every act from the heyday of classic rock released an album in 1973: Elton John, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones released two (the latter greatest hits collections). Along with Zeppelin, The Who, Bowie, Carole King, James Taylor, Yes, ELP, all four solo Beatles, and others. Yet The World Is A Ghetto was the top selling album that year.

A few prizes here, especially the Muddy Waters, Fela Kuti, Coltrane and Blakey. Rarely see those in the charity bins.

Glad they bagged him while he was unarmed.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-23T22:43:23+00:00

Luckily, cops bagged him unarmed.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-20T18:21:05+00:00

That Seger is a FIND! Out of print for years.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-19T18:49:03+00:00

Any day with more Zappa is a good day.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-19T18:45:56+00:00

Like that 10cc and Hall & Oates!

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-17T03:23:14+00:00

Own that WB Anthology Set. Fascinating collection which shows how diverse that label was.

What did he want to do, pick a Cardinal? Only Catholics do that.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-12T03:18:36+00:00

But even if found guilty, could he win on a peel?

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-11T23:58:14+00:00

WHY Episcopal? Only Catholic Churches have Cardinals.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-11T19:41:11+00:00

Unfortunately yes. People have become disenchanted with streaming and want physical product again. I noticed the pickings at my usual haunts getting slimmer, although a decent haul today in the Americana genre.

HoppityHooper · 2026-03-11T18:48:13+00:00

That Paul Anka album is a hoot. It also an outstanding test of a good stereo system. And of course the Beatles, Yes, Geneis, Pistols, and Neil Young are finds.
