Hmm, I just came into someone's childhood collection of about 200 old 45's packed in cookie tins for free, some of the keepers incl:

The Beatles - "Four By The Beatles" 7" EP [Capitol EAP 1-2121 '64, dark green label w/dome logo on left side] Track listing 1. "Roll Over Beethoven" 2. "All My Loving" 3. "This Boy" 4. "Please Mister Postman" Nice to have these on hot 45rpm mono in clean condition, unfortunately the more valuable cardboard pic sleeve not present
Tom & Jerry - "Hey, Schoolgirl"/"Dancin' Wild" [Big '57] AKA Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel pre-folk, this was their very first record (okay formula teenybop, not as good as another pre-S&G Paul Simon 45 I have, Tico & The Triumphs "Motorcycle" on Amy '61)
Bruce Johnston - "Do The Surfer Stomp, Pts. 1 & 2" [Donna wht. lbl. promo '62] Early one from future Beach Boy
Jiv-A-Tones - "Flirty Gertie"/"Fire Engine Baby" [Felsted '58]
The Legends - "Bop-A-Lena"/"I Wish I Knew" [Ermine '62] In color pic sleeve w/group holding guitars!
Mahler, Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" - Mehta/VPO, London CSA 2242 (from when Mehta was brash, forceful and exciting; with one of the world's great orchestras)
.
Today from a church thrift I picked up a 3-record boxed set of J. Starker's Solo Cello Suites. The box was mangled but somehow the records survived, hardly looking played. I'm playing now, they sound great. Not bad for 10 cents a record. When the lady asked for 30 cents, I said "that's outrageous!" But I, being the big-time spender, donated 5 bucks to the cause. Maybe I'll be able to sleep tonight.
The White Stripes, "Icky Thump" - Warner Brothers 162940

Thunderbolt Pagoda, "Thunderbolt Pagoda" - Mutant Music MMLP025

Queen, "A Night at the Opera" - Elektra 7E 1053
