The Psychy thread reminded me of a time I saw the US 69 LP for cheap and passed it up cuz I didn't know what it was only to hear it a couple days later. Idiot! I'm sure it's happened to everyone, so let's hear it!DJ Ferrari

    Too much shit to mention, but the karma gods declare that if you leave it the first time and come back for it, it will not be there. Ever.

    I once found a copy of one of the Motherhood LPs on UA feat. Klaus Doldinger at a very expenisve record store. I don't know why they only put a 5 Euro price tag on the LP. It would normally be a 75 Euro record at that shop. I didn't buy it because I didn't have ANY money left in my pockets that day. I hid the copy, but never found it again... make sure you listen to the record before letting it slide!

    This thread depresses me already.

    One off the top of my head is Inell Young's "What Do You See In Her". Should've bought it when it was somewhat reasonable. Now it's pretty much out of my range unless I can talk the wife into it (note to self: start playing that comp around the house more often).

    Only thing I regret not buying is This Heat - Deceit when it was on the wall at Academy a few years ago with a real busted cover for thirty five dollars

    Right... primarily most of the stuff I've passed up have been 45s though. I don't see many LPs that I regret not getting. Well, there was this one Sun Ra record I was trying to get... but it vanished once I had the money to cop.

    Big co-sign.

    I slept on Marlena Shaw??s "Spice of life" for US$4, and Ike Turner??s "Black man??s soul" for $15.
    Ignorance really hurts!



    Peace

    My biiiiiig slip: an opportunity to grab up the Dayton Sidewinders "Funky In Here" 45 for relatively cheap. An OG not a recent Carlco reissue. (not sure if they reissued this one as a 45, I think they may have only done one with Slippin' & Go Ahead.....)



    To this day it hurts. I love that track to death, so if anyone here finds one (even it's beat up) I'll give it a happy home

    I have one if you still need it. PM me.



    I somehow managed to walk out of a store w/out this...







    Skipped right over it twice... For some reason I kept seeing a crappy ecm record. 10 minutes later it's in this dudes pile.



































    My major White Whale and one of two last CAT lp's I need. Found it $2 and did this . It somehow managed to slip out of the stash. Didn't notice til I got home. By that time it was too late.

    I don't know what I was thinking when I passed this up on the cheap. Called the dealer two weeks later to have him set it aside for me and it had alrady been sold. Hurts so much!!!

    saw this for $3 years ago (when knewjak was a newjack). At that point, I was hell bent on finding just breaks so I didnt pick it up. Whoops.
