Too bad the Shocking Blue is only known for 1 big hit in the states.  That album is really good.

I hit two of my local thrifts a few days ago, one of which I had not been to in a while, and did not find a single cd or lp worth puchasing for ebay or even just myself. I've been lax, however, with checking out the local garage sales this summer and plan to try to hit some this weekend, though I'm sure a lot more families have headed out on summer vacations and there might not be as many. Anyone else having luck?

That Colin Blunstone One Year LP has some nice tunes on it. Three months ago I found The Zombies The Singles Collection: As & Bs 1964-1969, a U.K. cd comp of their 14 singles, all in mono, at a used book/record store.

Today, I just scored one of my best finds at garage/house sale in a long time. I bought for $160 the original pressings in pristine condition the following rock, blues and jazz LPs:

Jimi Hendrix-1st Lp-stereo

Frank Zappa-Freak Out-stereo

Beatles-Magical Mystery Tour-Mono

Canned Heat-Boogie

Otis Spann-Blues Never Die-Prestige

John Fahey-Blind Joe Death-Takoma

Horace Silver Quartet-Song for My Father-Blue Note

Eric Dolphy-Out To Lunch-Blue Note

Mal Waldron and John Coletrane-The Dealers-Status Records

John Coletrane-Love Supreme-Impulse Stereo

"                   "- Meditation-Impulse Stereo

"                   " -Om-Impulse-Stereo

"                   "-Live at Birdland-Impulse-Stereo

"                   "-Expression

It made going out in the extreme heat worthwhile

that Jefferson Airplane live piece is really good I bought a german pressing of that and thoroughly enjoyed it

Went to a few garage sales. Picked up some good bargains, with the main one being :-

The Marcels - Blue Moon - with gold label in VG+ condition

Also got a lot of Frank sinatra and some other decent artists.

Spent 10 bux for 20 records. Good deal id say

I'll answer your question here, not on the thread you started.

Here's what popsike shows -

I wouldn't list it as an auction. I would list it at as a BIN for $600, accept offers of $500.  Either way there's a chance you will leave some money "on the table", but hey, you paid a quarter for it.

This past weekend was able to pick up at charity yard sale

I never seem to reply to this thread because there are never any yard sales with records around here, and local thrift stores are useless.  I get my records from second hand stores at the usual prices.  And even then, I can't remember the last time I bought records, because I'm trying to cut down on spending.  I might not have bought any so far this year!  But today I was in a shop and found 4 low priced albums by Toots Thielemans in the new arrivals bin, all in stereo, including a German Polydor dated 1961 in the fine print.  (And great cheesy romantic cover art with guy and girl in embrace, the girl's in bed but the guy is fully dressed, 2 drinks and an ashtray in foreground.)  So now I'm happy because I have something to report.
