Hey - I just want to take a minute to publicly say THANK YOU to
@Crabbers...and this whole community really.
I missed out on a Elliot Smith pre-order that I coveted because of how deep my fandom for the artist and that particular record runs.
@Crabbers had snagged one - he says - as a "just in case someone on the forum needed one". He was selfless enough to pass that along to me - at cost. Its already selling for $70 on Discogs and he could have made a profit or bolstered his own collection with a nice press.
In 2023 its unusual to come across that kind of generosity and goodwill.
@Crabbers did me a solid and I owe him one - but I find that this kind of gesture is not limited to him.
I bust a lot of balls around here - so when I'm graced with the unique sense of community that N&G fosters and sends out into the world - Its incumbent on me to acknowledge that.
Thank you
@Crabbers and thank you to the rest of you here as well: You all make feeding this ridiculous obsession of mine - a joy.
