The mail man in my area said he found a bunch of records on his route. All he only wanted out of the bunch was a few 45's, and he said he would give me the rest. So i just got one of those mail crates filled with about 75 45's !!! :shock: Some good stuff in there. I also have another friend around here who had the same thing happen to him. So i swiped that crate also.

A lot of 80's, but all original. No re-issue, and 90% of em are 45's.

Rythem Heritage = Theme from S.W.A.T. (classic)
Dickie Goodman = Mr, Jaws
Devo = Whip It
A bunch of Yoko Ono and John lennon (a few are hot)
A few Blondie joints
Yarbrough & Peoples = Dont stop the music (mint)
The Afternoon Delights = General Hospital
The Alan Parsons Project = The Ace Of Swords
Kurtis Blow = The Breaks (mint 45 with original sleeve)



and a bunch of other crap. Still going through em'. Plus, if anyone is into old metal, or rock, or death metal, or whatever the hell it is, i got some import stuff along with the pile. I highly doubt i will be listening to em', so i guess you can say they are up for grabs. I gotta check the prices first though.

80s vinyl is dope, I got a bunch of old 45 and LP's from the 80's, if you listen to the albums, they actually made albums the whole record is an experience, not a collection of small experiences.

I should be getting some old 60 & 70's soul and jazz in the mail soon too. Right Jeam??

yes .... I love all this stuff. Talking Heads "Remain In Light" is one of my all time favourite albums, plus the album that Brian Eno & David Byrne did together at this time: "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts". & the opposite end of the spectrum too from that era: Shalamar, Lakeside, Dynasty .... all that Solar Records stuff from LA. "Billie Jean"-era Michael Jackson. Early Prince. Not forgetting all those electro records on labels like Tommy Boy about Pac Man & breakdancing in outer space.

I don't know, man. I have to be strong and admit I'm a Devo fan. Their first two albums (first one 1979 - produced by Brian Eno) were like experimental art punk with a twisted sense of humor. Cool shtt IMO.
Then after that they had Whip It, it was all down hill from there.
Sidenote...I actually met a couple of those guys once. Nice enough guys.
