So at a house call a few months ago my one friend pulls an unplayed Velvet Underground and Nico og mono while i'm coasting through Roxy music, lou Reed, and beat up Stones and animals records. My other friend scoops Pretty Things S.F. Sorrow and Parachute as well as Velvet Underground white light white heat at the same sale. Everything on the cheap. both dudes were about to sleep in and i talked them both in to coming while drinking at the bar the night before. Waaaambulance called
Same friend pulls William Bell Soul of Bell next to me at a junk store a few weeks ago. I already had a promo but seriously WTF, Dude has the drop on me.

I sent him over to a pile I had been through a month or so ago, assuming it was the same stuff.
He was 12 years old or so.
He flipped through 3-4 records, held up an LP and said "Is this one any good"?
It was Lightnin' Hopkins "Mojo Hand" on Fire.
Yeah.....go google that shit!
Within the last year two local diggers and I went out to a spot I had a lead on in East Texas.
3 hours into digging one of them holds up the Marvin Peterson & The Soul Masters LP and all I could think of was my brother saying....... "Is this one any good?"
Sharing digs is the way to go, especially if all parties involved get decent leads.
You know who you are...
I was so heated I bought a Monkee's record in a mental breakdown state...
In a junk shop back in the mid 90's and Jake One pulls out a California Playboys lp for $1. He had no idea what it was and said he was gonna buy it because he got a kick out of the name. I tried to get it from him a few weeks later and he was really proud to tell me he got $20 for it from some Japanese guy! I've yet to obtain a copy to this day.... Although I've seen it numerous times since then I'm not willing to pay the high price tag it demands.
Yeah man I miss shopping with u. U my lucky charm and shit. There's a couple more storys too right gignac?
This old dead head dude I know pulled a butcher cover next to me for a buck.. I was glad it was him and not the grip and flippers lurking.
Back around '98-'99, when I used to go digging I'd often meet with Nostalgia 77, and one day we were up in this shop and I pulled a copy of Hal Singer & Jef Gilson Soul of Africa. We did a quick needle drop and were both blown away by the mean double-bass and drum intro on one of the tracks, but the asking price seemed a bit steep to me (??40 ish?), so I left it to Ben as he seemed quite keen on it. I later discovered that this was a record that can sell for several hundred, and felt a pang of regret.
A couple of years later, and I walked into a charity shop on a whim, and asked if they had any records. The lady told me they had a large un-sorted stack round the back, and she asked if I'd pull out anything I thought they might be able to sell, so I spent about an hour going through the usual classical music, Leo Sayer, Reader's Digest Box sets etc, and found a mint copy of Soul of Africa. I spoke to the lady about the records that I thought might be worth putting on the shelves, showed her the records I was interested in, and she made me pay for Little Fluffy Clouds, but told me I could have the Africa for free!
Karma works sometimes.
