I got a bunch of records today at a local record/tape store from their bargain bins:

The Yes Album-Yes
Fragile-Yes (two of the best progressive rock LPs out there)
Fleetwood Mac's 1975 album (the first with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham)
Laura Nyro- New York Tendaberry
Laura Nyro- Christmas and the Beads of Sweat (only the final song is actually seasonally related to the holidays)
Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass- Whipped Cream & Other Delights (like the cover, and some of the songs were used on the game show The Dating Game).
Angela Bofill- Let Me The One (SO '80s, and not just the cover design)
Siedah Garrett- Kiss of Life (The female Bad album!)

All together, these albums cost $5.

Laura Nyro? Brings me back.

I collect food service china and fountain pens. Got a couple of beat-up Parkers for $5 but it's been a while since I found any Homer Laughlin or Buffalo.

Today I got a 45: The cars - Lets go/Thats it

And a VHS tape: THE GRATEFUL DEAD LIVE ON NEW YEARS EVE 1986 (12/31/85 from Oakland Coliseum Arena)

www.dead.net/show/december-31-1985


It was recorded off analog cable (On USA network)

Excellent concert..... NO COMMERCIALS AND FULL SCREEN!! (I think USA is too greedy these days to air a concert of that length WITH NO SPAM ADS!! (Crap on the screen,etc))


Only thing is THE TAPE RAN OUT (But there was over 2 hrs and what WAS THERE was fabulous 80s grateful dead)

Default Always trust your instincts

Today I was @ salvation Army and I found Star trek 1-5 (Seperate releases not the newer 6 pak of all star trek movies together)

I have thankfully been able to replace my star trek copies (1-5 (90s releases)) months ago with original releases which are MUCH BETTER! (Nothing digital in the transfer)

Well today I got the box for Star trek 5 as I have the original 1989 tape but I didnt have the original box....

Something told me to HOLD ONTO THAT TAPE I HAD (Not blindly replace it with the brand new copy (Unopened) I got today)

Looking @ the label on the tape I could tell it wasnt exactly the same..... I put it in and it was crap (Like the newer star trek 1-6,recorded the same way) They got rid of that stuff @ the beggining and the contrast was slighter darker....... I dont know if it was digitally transferred but it certainly wasnt as good as the other copy I found @ salvation army months ago!! (It was soaked,semi wet.. Left outside in the rain) -- I was hopefull I could save it...... I bought it and let it dry until the next day before trying it.........

So the copy I found today was a NEWER 1989 copy (Apparently after they started compromising the star trek movies)

Now the only one I dont have the original of is Star Trek 6 (1991) -- I dunno if its out there,probably not....... (Ill take the first 5 believe me -- MUCH NICER)

Its quite sad but Im glad I listenend to my instincts!!!!
