    A friend once found a Rev. Dwight Frizzell LP at a roadside Beef Jerky/Lemonade Stand in West Texas.

    i found a mint judy bailey colours in a box of old crappy records in an ortho-geriatric rehabilitation ward of a major tertiary teaching hospital that i did a one off casual shift at. There was no turntable so i was merely saving it from ultimately ending up in a trash bin.

    I traded a drill to this guy on the street for records this past week. Got some cool stuff: Milhaud - La Creation Du Monde, Undisputed Truth-Cosmic Truth, some 5th Dimension and a Barbara Acklin 7".

    also, not that surprising/odd for there to be records at college radio stations.

    when I was training as a teacher, the teacher's training college library had a old book sale, this wasn't an old library & didn't have a record section, but the book sale had 2 boxes of about 50 old clean folkways LPs for 50c each. So I bought them all.

    I was looking at buying a house which was an estate sale, I was checking out the shed & found cupboards full of old abandoned 45s & LPs from the 60s through 80s. Probably a couple hundred records. I dug through them to see what there was while I was at the open home, saw a few things I would have liked but returned them all to the cupboard where I found them. Probably bad karma stealing records from a dead person's house.

    Widows basements, furniture store, electronic repair shops (they always have some records to test TT with. I found the Italian press of Barbarella at one). I also knew this dude that sold records like they were drugs. He'd meet me & my boy real late at night in a McDonalds parking lot or behind a 7-11 or just some odd spots and he'd have his trunk FULL of vinyl and we'd pull some GEMS. That's how I got my 24 Karat Black, 1 of my Skull Snaps and most of my David Axelrod stuff. Everything was $5, the shit was crazy.

    Also, I used to buy from this real old homeless dude named Shakey. He would push a shopping cart around and every week or 2 he would come through the studio I was working at with a full cart of records. He'd give me like 50 records for $20. Good shit too, like Hank Mobley, The Meters, Dennis Coffey, etc. And this was around '95-'96 when dudes were looking hard for that shit.

    Laundromat - Dude had a box of records ON TOP of the dryers. I had to patronize a local diggeur with a dewarping machine after that but it was mad mad worth it, son.

    A barn in Southern Ohio turns out that this guy used to co own a record store in Akron he sounded so country that the other people he had called about his records didn't pay him any mind, Obituaries, a rib spot in Akron dude told me that he used a lot of the records for target practice, a meth lab in a condemned house with no electricity and a Sheriffs warning not to enter the property, several crack houses...
