Why is it that all the “antique malls” I’ve visited want Discogs VG+ money for G-level discs with F/P-level jackets?Posted the full story in the Crate Digging thread. Here are the highlights of a fairly large thrift store buy at 50-cents per record. Currently working on ultrasonically cleaning a bunch of these and am happy with how good they're looking.

No Obi?View attachment 172184View attachment 172185
The JP plane has arrived. Couple more Bowie's. Both NM 1982, have heard really good things about that Hunky Dory so I'm hoping it'll be the keeper copy at a somewhat reasonable price due to the lack of Obi.
-single tear-
Yeah, obi was like double the price and it's not a particularly nice one so meh. Not in this case.No Obi?
Regardless, I am sure It’ll be tons of fun checking prices on obi copies every time you spin Hunky Dory moving forward.Yeah, obi was like double the price and it's not a particularly nice one so meh. Not in this case.
Well that'll only matter if it's better than my UK copy and at least so far, it's close, but it ain't.Regardless, I am sure It’ll be tons of fun checking prices on obi copies every time you spin Hunky Dory moving forward.
Miles Davis - Live-Evil (CBS, 1972 First UK Pressing)
Zoot Sims - Solo For Zoot (Fontana, 1962 First Pressing)
The 3 Sounds – Here We Come (Blue Note, 1961 First Mono Pressing)
Art Ensemble Of Chicago - Nice Guys (ECM Records, 1979 First Pressing)
I managed to pop into Honest Jons at the weekend and immediately honed in on the Zoot Sims, which was recorded at Ronnie Scotts here in London. At the same time, I saw the super clean Miles Davis which is one that I was missing! The 3 Sounds is a group that I knew very little about but I was able to get a deal on that and the Art Ensemble Of Chicago albums.

Elton Dean - S/T (CBS, 1971 First Signed Pressing)
Blue Notes - Blue Notes For Mongezi (Ogun, 1976 First Pressing)
Archie Shepp Quintet - Bird Fire: Tribute To Charlie Parker (Impro, 1979 First Signed Pressing)
A couple of cool signed first pressings. The Elton Dean is signed by Dean and Marc Charig with a sketch of chips and "Scorpion & Chips" written. The Archie Shepp is signed by Shepp on both the label and the inner sleeve. Any french speakers able to translate? Finally from this set, a fantastic Ogun release in killer condition!

Carmell Jones Featuring Harold Land - The Remarkable Carmell Jones (Pacific Jazz, 2023 Tone Poet Pressing)
Keeper of the Flame: Modern Jazz in Manchester 1946 - 1972 by Bill Birch (Self Published, 2010)
I got a hell of a deal on the Tone Poet, but unfortunately, its split on the bottom, not that it will affect the music and it was cheap enough to forgive it. Finally, a great book that I have been after for a while finally came up at a good price. Some killer photos and stories of American and European jazz musicians playing in Manchester over the years!
