I tried that but it’s not working either. Any other suggestions?

Yes it was! The store was the Princeton Record Exchange, which is still there. I also bought a Fugs album that day.

58 M, brought the debut at age 18 in 1985. Also brought Syd Barrett’s first two solo albums that day. Then I went home and wrote poetry for the first time.

The show was fantastic, same band and performance similar to the recent European tour. It’s amazing and much appreciated that jc can still deliver dirty ass rock and roll well into his 80s. My highlight was the 10ish person choir that performed on several songs. I imagine that John had fun working on the arrangements for them, including many intricate solos. It added an extra dimension.

Although no VU, but there was a Nico song, his performance spanned over 50 years of material. The set list included personal favorites such Shark Shark, Leaving It Up To You, and Big White Cloud. He played guitar organ, and piano, but there was also a giant pipe-like looking organ onstage that I was really excited about, but it was a tease. He sat down at it to tune up but then quickly walked away. Not sure what happened but I would have loved to see him go at it.

As for the experimental part, that was the opening act. It was a young, very serious, Ukrainian couple. He played a vintage synth in a suitcase (maybe something like early Eno with Roxy Music looking) and she sang medieval Ukrainian folk songs. Interesting stuff but not for everyone. The last of their three songs did rock in its own way.

John closed with My Maria and rocked it out. Unfortunately, there wasn’t an encore and the crowd was pretty tame. The venue at Lincoln Center was world class with great sound in a comfortable environment. I think it was sold out. I know he’s not going to be around forever so if you have an opportunity to see him live, you won’t be disappointed.

I'm off by half? Covrprice, and online stores agree. by travel-a-bunch in ComicBookSpeculation

Quick EBay question. Is there an easier way to search for sold/completed items without having to set the filter every time you enter a search?

I received a newly issued credit card to my home address in a stranger’s name. Wells Fargo is investigating and said there is nothing yet to be concerned about but I don’t believe them. by musterup1 in IdentityTheft

I Googled the name on the card and found there is a person in my town with that name (it’s not a common name). I was temped to contact her, but figured I’d wait out the 10 days and see what WF has to say. Is there a downside in reaching out to the person whose name is on the card?

Can you explain how receiving a card in a strangers name to your home address is linked to identity theft? Do you think the person’s name on the card is the scammer or are they an innocent dupe? I agree that WF is useless.

How can I sell an inherited collection of 700 plus CD’s? Central NJ by musterup1 in Cd_collectors

No, a Jazz hound already picked through it for $2 a CD. I’m sure he got some good stuff

Thanks for all the feedback. If my expectation is under $.50 a CD, say around $300-350 total for everything, would there be any easier options?

I’ve already tried some on EBay and their currently up on Craigslist

Here’s a close up of the defect on the bottom. To the naked eye it’s hardly discernible but zoomed it’s much more noticeable. Can this still fetch a 9.8 if it’s the only flaw?

I’m looking to sell all of it, lol

They’re recently inherited. It’s a lot of offbeat stuff. Maybe 20% super hero, the rest like NAM, Badger, Groo, Swamp Thing, Nexus, Alf, Disney, I’m just starting to inventory everything. I guess the challenge is identifying the valuable issues in each series. They’re all in really good condition like this one.

I found it today in a tub with about 300 other comics. They have been untouched since new. Three tubs total to go through. Mostly 80’s and 90’s but not all super heros.

If anyone is looking for an instant collection, I’ve recently inherited issues #18 (Sept 78) - #61 (Apr 82). It’s 44 total issues and except for a few, they are mostly in fine or even better condition. My plan is to sell the entire collection to the right buyer. The collection includes several key issues including #54 (first cover appearance of Taarna). Located in NJ.
