No matter when all else is failing I always can rely on finding records, minty copy of Townes Van Zandt “At My Window” at HPB $40, and the complete BattleStar Galactica (new series) blu ray $50.
Acquired my first pieces of vintage gear today, a Marantz 2238b receiver, a Kenwood KA-8100 Integrated Amp, and Kenwood Tuner for $600. The first two were recapped.
As much as people dog on HPB in regards to records, my local location is far more likely to underprice a record than overprice it just scored over a dozen original Motown pressings that are all in immaculate shape.
Purchased what I believe to be my first two Run out groove re-issues and am very impressed, no other pressings of the albums to compare to but pressing quality and packaging is top notch.
Always love my favorite record stores owner, look something up on discogs and determine the market price of something is $75 and get it for $10, his response “I got it for a dollar”
I do my fair sure of complaining so I have to call out my 80th Horace Silver At The Village Gate for being ABSURDLY flat for a contemporary pressing, albeit anecdotal I would like to state it was sold and shipped by Amazon.
