    I've dug up 3 copies of East Of Underground.......the first one was at the ARC Show about 3 years ago for ten bucks....the last two on a recent road trip for 5 bucks each.

    Sealed james mason,

    Curious if you kept this - Doesn't seem like a Hook_up record.

    also found an unsealed one as well at the same spot, but not at the same time...sold all of those finds, none of them were really my style(I opened and listened to one of the Conwells, always been a fan of "you got to have money" but the pressing was really quiet...thought about keepin the Weldon, but japan man offered me 8 bills for it, so I let it go

    Get that money!

    Last year I found an unplayed Messenger Incorporated LP for a buck (as seen in that other "didn't pick up" thread).

    Last weekend I found Kenny & the Kasuals Journey to Tyme 45 on Mark Ltd for fiddy cent. Obviously not as heart-stopping as the above find but definitely cool to find at Half Price Books where these days you'd think they'd know better.

    Would love to hear about some of Supreme's finds like this.

    Know Kon has some interesting stories as well, as does Amir.

    There was a used book/record wharehouse me and my girl would hit every week several years ago, we got tons of great stuff for a buck over the years. One morning I hit a row that had roughly a hundred u.s/u.k psych lps all mint/promo's-all the pete brown and battered ornaments stuff, lots of nice west coast psych etc.. Anyway the last weekend the wharehouse was open they put out 20,000 lps, 15 pallets full. It was incredible. Found alot of bands complete catologues like the sylvers etc. The real deal was finding the cover for the rising storm lp with no record inside. We searched for several hours looking for it with no luck.

    We go back the next day and keep looking, a couple hours in my girl is literally standing in a pallet and pulls the record out. It was sum needle in the haystack shit but we got it.. Those were the days..

    Because you were finding tons of records or because you had a gf that helped you dig?

    I just pulled this out to play while I'm boxing up some records and realized this was a $1 find. Found it at the Goodwill by my house last year, MINTY as hell.

    received this today, NM OG Venezuelan Press of the bay for 1??? + 2,50 Shipping, seller actually paid 4,10??? for shipping, so that was a nice steal...

  • Just bought a mint promo of first Chocolate Watch Band record for $10. When I used to live in Indianapolis I would find a Highlighters Band record almost every 2-3 weeks during the prime digging season. I doubt I ever paid more than $1. Wooden Glass sealed for $10. I could go on and on for days.

    Most of these came out of Arkansas, except for the 2 Messengers Inc. which were found in OK. East of Underground found back in like 2000 or so, and promptly sold to Dante. If it hadn't been for his mixtape I wouldn't have known what the hell it was.

    A few more finds from times past, from the Sooner State: Carlos Franzetti- Grafitti, and Maceo's lp on HOF, in the same bin at a flea market for $5 each, and Billy Brooks lp on Crossover at a shop for $2.

  • Frank Cunimondo Introducing Lynn Marino, Eddie Cano Brought Back Live From PJs , Johnny Harris' Movements , Reggae in Jazz by Tommy McCook and Heart of the Congos on GoFeet . Not seismic but all from the same flea market on the same morning a couple of years ago for ??6.

    Just picked up the s/t ESG ep in shrink for $1 this weekend at a thrift. One of the very few finds at five stops, but worth it.
