SOI is about to post a $5 miracle any moment, with a good story to boot. Congrats homie.
haha, and of course my man axefoley was the first person I texted about this happening, like 2 minutes after I walked away with the record securely tucked under my arm. If the first record I found in 2011 is any indication of how things are going to go, this should be one hell of a year:
now for the cool story bro part, one that will have many of you thinking I'm crazy for almost giving this record up ... I was in a local record store tonight, flipping through bins, when a guy came in with a box of records to sell. The kid that was working told him to leave the box on the floor and came around to kneel down and flip through them. Naturally, I couldn't help peeking over his shoulder as he went through (while half-pretending to look through a 45 box on the counter) ... the box was almost all rinked classic rock chud, beat Paul Revere and the Raiders record after thrashed Beatles record ... and then the St. Vincent's Latinaires popped up ... kid glanced at it for 2 seconds and then kept going (he had been pulling out anything he was interested in) obviously not interested. Now, 99% of you would have kept quiet and looked to score the record outside the shop, but I was feeling generous, and, while I'm not known by name or overly friendly with this store, I have found some great deals there over the years, so I nudged the kid discreetly and said "hey ... that last one? you should buy it for the store. trust me." He looked skeptical but he pulled it out and put it in his pile. I went back to digging through the bins and didn't pay much attention, until I saw the guy putting the box of records on his shoulder and heading for the door, not stopping at the counter for any cash, saying "no, no it's OK, I understand ... " and the kid from the store was all "yeah, sorry man, just nothing we can use ... " as soon as the guy as out the door, I all but yelled at the kid "You didn't buy that Latinaires?!?!!?" he was like "nah, I looked it up online and didn't see anything and it had some marks ... " but by this time I was sprinting out the door. I stopped the guy halfway up the block, told him "hey I wanted one of those records, I'll give you 5 bucks for that St. Vincent's Latinaires" he said, "Five bucks? You've got a deal" and handed it to me, explaining that his Brother-in-Law had lived in Trinidad in the early 70's and that the record came from him. He seemed happy to get some money for his troubles, and I was obviously ecstatic, off to text axefoley and make sure I was not dreaming!
spent my holidays travelling around southern bavaria and came up with a bunch of really nice finds. especially the thrift stores around wuerzburg are definetely worth to check out. the "bedazzled" and "because i am" were some cheap ebay finds for sure. happy new year!
Hey Sebo! These are amazing finds! I`ve never been lucky enough to find such a big amount of great records at thrift stores around these parts. Have you really been travelling around Bavaria just to look for records?
I`ve never heard of somebody who did this before. And I never thought it would be worth it.
I`m a bit confused by your desription. Have you been in the north of Bavaria (W??rzburg) or in the south or both?
Happy new year y`all!
hey finelikewine ; ) , might be a bit confusing i must confess, but as i??m actually located in nuremberg and like you might know there??s many of spots to find good records, i??m not talking ??bout the thrifts, i??m talking about all those vintage record and book stores around that area and when i talk about southern bavaria, i??m mean munich and the surroundings, sorry, i??m from the rhine area which means that every place behind cologne is the south. ; ) anyways, there??s some good thrifts around wuerzburg and nuremberg, but honestly you have to dig through piles of garbage to come up with a nice find. the majoirity of my finds came from a collection from a guy who was a music promoter in the 70??s, he sold his collection (8000 rec.) to a friend of mine who runs a recordstore in nuremberg. i was in store when he opened the first boxes so i was the lucky one who dug through them first. anyways, maybe you should come and visit flo and me in the future, there are still man spots to check, cheers seb??

Thanks! I`ve never heard of him. I think playing there would be fun, but I don`t know what a 45 battle really is. Playing sets just with 45s or is there a competion thing involved?
Finally I could play out with my new unused s.erato 45 control vinyl. :cool:
Just kidding, right next to me is a nice pile of funk 45s waiting to be played out.
