What was your latest LP find??

Women and shoes...men and vinyl. Ahh, I get it now. I really don't need another copy of my fav' album, but I still have to look.

I really enjoy flipping through the piles of records above and below, and when the blood circulation is cut off and I can't feel my legs, then it's time to move to the next tier or tandem.

My latest find was a SEALED MFSL-Japanese super vinyl pressing of David Bowie - The Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust & Spiders from Mars. Sticker price read $15.00 I have 2 copies already, a vinyl copy and a cd copy. Well..."I've got to have it, it's cheap!"

So the next time the little lady wants to buy shoes, make certain there's a record shop close by.

Hey Doc! Good to see ya here!
My latest LP showed up by mail yesterday.
A Megaforce copy of Metallica "Ride The Lightning"
This was rated VG++ VG++ in the auction from a seller with outstanding feedback.
Its unlistenable! Several deep scratches,hundreds of fine scratches.Talk about surface noise!!
Plus the cover is beat to CRAP (like that slappy?)
Thank you eBay!!

David99 The seller should refund you your money because this is clearly a very poor copy.
From your statements he appears to be a good seller, so you should not have any trouble.
I to learned the hard way. What in the world were you doing bidding on a VG++ anything.

The ratings for lp's are vague so if you have any doubt, you must first ask the seller for details about any and all defects. Otherwise you will leave yourself open to this kind of disappointment.
Good Luck
Cheers

Ron-This is an LP I only "kind of wanted".
A mint minus copy of this title usually fetches more than I am/was willing to spend.
In my opinion, VG++ should at least offer a mostly quiet surface with a decent looking cover(and lower cost)
No biggie.Its eBay,ya never know what to expect.

I went to a record show in Pittsburgh and I won the $100 shopping spree door prize and I came away with the Eagles "Hotel California" MFSL and 180 gram pressings of "Who's Next" and Zeppelin "II". I was also able to get two albums from my all time favorite band (not too popular here in the US though so I was shocked to find mint conditions of their vinyl music) the Pogues, I got "Red Roses for Me" and "If I Should Fall From Grace With God"
