My Banker Rocks Doubles

So I was talking to my banker the other day and he knows that I collect records. So he asks if I would take some of his old vinyl. We're trying to close a deal so to be nice I say sure I'll take them of his hands. Foolio dropped off mad heat (plus a Marantz turntable), including certified late 70s, early 80s pop rock doubles almost assuredly used in some insane Delta Kappa Epsilon beat juggling contest at Oregon State University circa '85. Check the pics you will be amazed.
At least now I have a clean copy of Devil Went Down To Georgia thanks to the Urban Cowboy OST. WHo the fuck has two copies of Bad Girls? It's a double LP. When you wear out one disc just switch over to the next one, sayin. I'm surprised a bag of coke didn't fall out of the Elton Greatest Hit 2 sleeve.
The complete Elton John, I'm half way there.
80's heat. Dude must have been a bitch before he got his MBA.
Respect the Rafferty follow up rarity "Night Owl". Dan are you paying attention? Shit is beyond deep. 
Eddie Murphy gets all adult on your ass. I will spare you the Linda Ronstandt greatest hits (vol I and II) and the various other turds lurking in the chardonnay boxes these arrived in. But as you all have already surmised there's always one piece of hidden treasure in a collection as bad as this. Banker Man was no exception.Wait For It
PS these are all for sale, holler at yer boy.

If you stop by my place next Tuesday, then you may experience deja vu.
Motherfucker told me he held back the Elton cause he thought it might be worth something someday. I guess the jokes on me. Dude better be offering 500k unencumbered at prime or he is gonna be hearing about this in the future.
Was it worth it ??? Did you get your deal ???
Peace

wait
for
it
It's a Farmers Market....Buy high, sell low.
Was he expecting you to pay for them?
They were a "gift". Dude thought we were bonding. Dan I think you need Night Owl in your life. Slababa, if those records (combined) are worth a dollar i'd eat my hat. In a prescient moment, my 21 month old son sauntered over to the box, pulled out Huey Lewis' "Sports", unsleeved the vinyl and proceeded to trample it. SHit was offending even his barely formed artistic sensibilities. As for the deal, like the magic 8 ball used to day, "prospects are good".
Brrrrrrrrreakouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!
may even get you $5 on ebay
Damn, now I gonna have to listen to it.
Im not sayin that I love you
Im not sayin that Ill care if you love me
Im not sayin that Ill care
Im not sayin Ill be there when you want me
I cant give my heart to you
Or tell you that Ill sing your name up to the sky
I cant lay the promise down
That Ill always be around when you need me
Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Along the street or in a small cafe
But still I wont deny or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way
Hijack.
Seriously, I spoke on this a long time ago on here in a different post. What do you do when someone "finds out" you collect records and then find it necessary to unload all their garage fodder in your lap thinking you would be thankful?
What do you say when they ask if "..any of those worth anything?", knowing their heart is just gushing with hope that they had the hot shit for you?
Sure, some of you on here will have some toughguy "gtfohwts" response, but in the REAL WORLD when someone is honestly trying to be nice, how do you deflect with integrity?
Can we get a REAL WORLD graemlin?
my old boss gave me a box of records. king crimson for days, lots of cool 70s rock stuff. the best one was "breaking in" by the outlaw blues band.
my aunt gave me a box of records once that contained superfly, shaft, a sealed truck turner ost, that black oak arkansas break, babe ruth with the mexican and some other delights that i was happy to get in 92.
my ex in high school gave me her records too. lots of 80s hits, cult, crowded house, inxs for days as well as a nation of millions, the cactus album, and an array of cool 12" singles....
i will always take free records. i get some crap but some cool stuff too....
For sure. Free records are free records - I guess the question is, how can you flip through offer free records and still reject them (or just cherry pick the box) with some tact?
this already exists in my hometown. only thing is they arent aware its a dollar bin only night.
ha
too soon?
But seriously doubles of "Dancing On The Ceiling"
Yea I guess the distinction has to be made that these are records YOU'D put in a dollar bin... not records you found in a dollar bin or at a yard sale for a dollar. Or I donno... is the point to have it be all records worth a dollar? Or would it just kinda be to promote everyone bringing out new shit each week on like a 20-30 dollar budget.
What were they playing at the one you were talking about?
i've been through that situation a coule of times out of which 2 people asked me if i could transfer the records to MP3 files in exchange....
Let's just say I couldn't refuse my stepfather's request but was able to slip away from the other one.
Naw, you absolutely got to be honest on this one--otherwise they're going to think you actually owe them a favor for acting as thier dumpster.
