This has probably been done on the strut before (x100) but I thought it would be fun...In Vancouver this is what I see the most (up to 30 copies in one location!). What is the most common in your location?
...and of course

Vaughn Meader had a First Family, Vol. 2 and I never see that one, but this album shown here will never go away (and it's on CD, too)!
Also:
Tapestry-Carole King
No Secrets-Carly "Homina Homina" Simon
any Dora Hall 45
According to several sources, Avant-garde comedian Lenny Bruce appeared at a New York nightclub only days after Kennedy's assassination. As if testing his audience's readiness to find something funny so soon after tragedy, Bruce was silent for several moments before announcing, "Vaughn Meader is screwed!
Unfortunately, that was true. After 11/22/63, sales slowed down on those First Family albums so much that Cadence Records was forced to delete it.
For me it's this local legend:
...but not before shipping their remaing stock of 45,678,893,234 copies to every discount reatailer in the country on a "no returns" basis!!!!
Heh, heh - I thought all them used copies you see were just from Middle America dumping all their copies all at once!!
No offense, but I wanna keep marinatin' on just common records IN GENERAL, even though the topic may be played out!
Although if that's where you wanna take it, here in Chicago it's ridiculously easy to find vinyl by 1970's folksinger Bonnie Koloc (who is still gigging around town on occasion).
Especially her albums on the "compatible quad" Ovation label.
... or at least that was the case when I lived in the Bay Area. Now that I am in LA I feel like I see more of this....
but when I lived in Chicago, it was more like this...
I wish I found Shalamar dollarbin joints...Second Time Around is GOAT.
I see that every time. Have you ever wanted to just buy up all the copies of some of these records just so nobody has to look at them anymore. I'd have a few 1000 Zamfirs for sure, it'd be fun to throw them at a brick wall and watch them shatter into pieces.
stein's definitely got it.
for a second i considered herb alpert
but in the end Vaughn Meader wins no contest.
did you trade the Seaquence? holla
Lotta Streisand too... whole lotta Streisand.
THAT MEANS IT'S RARE! Scoop 'em up now!
definitely this one. First family is up there though.
Some french record hunters just stop hunting because of seeing this shit much too much... I can testify its oppulence can be discouraging.
For Aussie Diggers Kamahl with continue to haunt us and its pretty hard to avoid James Last
i know a shop in New Hope, PA that sells these for $20 a pop. They have a sign on their door that reads, "Unattended Children Will Be Sold As Slaves". They do have some interesting overpriced vintage stuff in there.
