I like the fact people are talking about records. I have many a time flipped past straight chud to find ultra raers:
Birmingham Sunday in boxes of doodoo Age of flying high in similar boxes of dung Lyman woodard behind a Bowie lp at 11am in a box of rock
My local diggin friend Chr*s copped a 4 figure blues 7" in a similar fashion last year, I slept!
Finding heat in straight chud is pretty much my favorite way of pullin raers, way more satisfying than the "shopping" experience that stores, eBay and even shows/dealers provide, that's why they call it diggin son!!!
ive seen your finds i dont think youre not finding good stuff. yorue also in the east bay and have a lot of competition. maybe you just need to step your game up and knock jesse and charlie off their gold and silver platforms.
I don't think it's an issue of finding good stuff -- it's more like, I might have to drive to Napa and back, hitting 30 spots and ending up with like five good records. Often (once a week), I will literally go to every single thrift store (that I know about) in the City (17 including Daly City) and come home empty handed.
You're right though, I am in the East Bay and the damn game is dirty out here.
This happens to me on a daily basis. It's basically why I hate the Bay Area for buying records --
Yesterday, at every place I went (8) I found ONE record mixed with a bunch of shit that didn't come close to matching.
Examples:
Rick Stanley - Song Of Life (still sealed and mixed in with a ton of Barbara Streisand and classical) "Poncho" Perez - Green & Yellow (1 f*cking Brazillian record mixed with a bunch Andy Williams / Mantovani type shit)
Oh yeah, and my "out of place weekend find" consists of a 2 bedroom coop in Fort Green, like 50 yards from the park. They accepted our offer and we're going into contract. Boo-yah...

I DON'T SEE ANY REAL "DIGGING ETHICS" BEING DISCUSSED IN THIS THREAD.
IN FACT MOST OF THE POSTS I SEE IN THIS THREAD ARE FROM A BUNCH OF WHINY DUDES WHO DON'T / NEVER DUG DEEP ONCE, POSTED IN THE WEEKEND FINDS THREAD, PROVED THEY DUG OR FOUND SQUAT, AND NEVER ONCE IN THEIR LIVES BOUGHT HEAVY RECORDS OR COLLECTIONS.
My daughter found this toy truck down behind the garden fence. It was blue and plastic, but once we got the mud off it, the wheels still rolled pretty well. Never seen it before, no idea how long it's been there. RAD.
As for records, I got the Johnny Panic record (Will Work for Food) when I was in Nashville last time. I know it's from Nashville, so it's not really out of place, but I was still kinda gassed. Jangly pop-punk for days!
minty mcdonald and Giles found this morning for 5 bucks in a pile of elvis and monotovani records in the bin underneath the clearance records; in other words, its been sitting in that shop for years.
had not heard it before and my mind is presently being completely blown by it....
recent out of place find was pulled from boxes of crap stuffed back to back with mostly 80s common rock terds and then this italian raer turns up...hello!

actually it looks doper than it is, some real cool titles too, instrumental library style tracks... side A is the better one, wacky mid 70s (no date, im guessing 76 maybe) italo disco, a bit funky a bit cosmic at times with some guitar rock action (not my favorite parts)... does have one down tempo moogy funk cut which is pretty cool.
side B is totally different, unlistenable/ terrible rock tracks only..
havent gone out and come home with this many nice LPs in a while...this one spot, a CD/DVD chain store on the "vinyl revival" kick sells used LPs...I was literally picking these up as the clerk was pricing them and putting them in the bin...dude didnt care, puttin 2.99 on everything (except the Clyde McPhatter 8LP box set on Bear Family, which he put $20 on, but I know I can probably get 10x that for it) feel free to hollar about any of these
gladys is still sealed OG...the Soul Providers is on "Pure", whats up, is it pre-Desco?
the Supremes is a minty mono OG, nice Japanese Neville comp..has Hercules, Gossip, etc...
the Martha is a UK OG, worth loot...
the Emanuel Rahim is fire, minty still in the shrink...havent checke dout Julio Lopez yet, dont know what is up with it
Otis is a Mono OG, The EOU is reish of course, but $3, yes cop I will
, The EOU is reish of course, but $3, yes cop I will
this is the type of ish, that is unexplainable. Who would already pawn that in?
I believe Rasputin's in Berkeley purposely removes the shrink on new reissues to make them appear as og's -- they especially like to do it with the Actuel jawns.
People here are acting French. How are these different from normal finds? Why this is surprising to some is beyond me. Part of the game, people.
Paid-for KUSF digs: Not too many steals to be found, but still a decent day and cool to chop it up with the local folks. Kendricks is mint vinyl, tantra was $1, the Tito Puente was a great surprise, and Nightlife is amazing. Also sold three big boxes of hip hop twelves to some dude.

is someone seriously attempting to call me out for a fake provenance of a find?
there were used Sundazed Stooges Re-Ishes in those bins, new indie LPs, etc...always seems to be "new" used records at this spot...I dont question, I just buy...
update: Julio Lopez is a cruise ship terd, except for one track...a really nice, funky Som Tres type of thing.

I was just thinking the other day about how sweet it will be when the "Vinyl Revival" passes and I can buy sealed Sundazed reissues from overstock bins for $4 each. I actually had this happen to a degree a few years ago at a local chain store that has vinyl. They were dumping old warehouse stock and I was getting sealed 80's Trojan LP's and local OG punk heat in quantity for like $3-$8 on the weekly, a bunch of Bear Family rockabilly sets too.

Aresinio Rodriguez is incredible, i found sabu's "palo congo" last year and my jaw still drops from his playing on it.
Also rey, that freddie rodriguez is so good, reluctantly bought it only to have my face melted, best dollar i spent last year.

This is the one I come back to the most of all my Arsenio records. Wild vocals throughout.
Definitely a 'Wife's Away, Time to Play,' record.
This shit looks dope as shit - nice pull, Daniel.

nah F*ck that LP, even though it's awesome compared to James Last standards, in the real world that means it still sucks balls...

Really?
I haven't had a chance to play it for her yet, but I was thinking how much my S.O. would like this record.

Gar*th neglected to include the minor detail that he likes to wear
his wife's wedding dress and dance around when listening to Cuban records.
this selection makes me happy. morning dew OG! Billy Dee say what! Texaco speckled vinyl mystery jam! nice.

had not heard it before and my mind is presently being completely blown by it....
Thanks,
Dress
Dude, when I took that dress out of the box? NAGL...
Nah, but seriously, she's not down with the raspy/screaming vox. Other arsenio is fine, but the barking on that joint is a turn off.
waddup dressssssssssssso

Yes. That LP is terrible. Avoid.
Don't know why on earth Bureau B gave that the reissue treatment.
