    I always assumed you had to either be really dim or work especially hard to miss the point by the sort of distance some of those commenters seem to have done.

    The funniest part is that Gimme Gimme is closed for the day in the shot.

    it really isn't crate digging...it's just boutique record shopping...nothing wrong with that but still...you can get plenty of great cheap records in the east village...$100 should have gotten a good 15-20 titles. but if you restrict yourself to afrobeat and northern soul 45's then yeah...4 records is all you will get....and really, that last one that is a trade shouldn't have been included in the budget.

    I think the premise of the article was a good one, but it was realized in a seemingly half arsed way.

    But he didn't. In fact only one of the five records he bought fits that criteria.

    So-so article, amazing comments.

    "This whole piece just seems out of touch. "700 for an original beatles"? Who in their right mind pays that much for a vinyl copy of one of the most widely distributed albums of all time?"
