When you had a 2 Loud 2 Previous Music Mug, I’d inform you to take a seat again, fill it up with no matter you want and put together your self for what’s to come back. This was an attention-grabbing month and a few unbelievable finds…for reasonable!! And I imply low cost!! However earlier than we get to a budget stuff, let’s focus on what first confirmed up on our doorstep for Might…effectively, it was truly April however it was the day I posted the April Purchases wrap-up so it missed that put up. That’s the boxset for the Whitesnake album ‘Good To Be Dangerous”…titled “Nonetheless…Good To Be Dangerous”. One other spectacular boxset…or is it?…evaluation to come back.
And there was an album that got here out months in the past on CD and digital, however the album simply confirmed up in Might. It’s for the lead singer of one in all my favourite bands Needtobreathe. It’s Bear Rinehart’s second solo album below the title Wilder Woods. It’s totally different then NTB which it must be since he’s the voice of NTB. If it gave the impression of NTB, it could be a NTB album…
Now, let’s get to a budget stuff…the file label MNRK had an enormous CD sale the place all of the CDs had been solely $5 every. These a brand new, nonetheless sealed so I went on a buying spree. I restricted myself to 11 CDs and helped replenish the Ace Frehley CD assortment (the vinyl is already stuffed) and even received the majority of Pop Evil’s assortment. After which threw in Texas Hippie Coalition and Chickenfoot. Right here you go…MNRK even threw in a Steel Sampler that I haven’t listened to but, however will break it open quickly sufficient.
However that actually wasn’t the most cost effective stuff. My daughter wished to hit some thrift shops and so we went to a few. The primary one had a handful of CDs that had been $0.99 every so I grabbed a couple of and these aren’t my regular listening genres, however I figured what the hell as I don’t often discover stuff I’m thinking about a thrift shops…I picked up 6 for principally $6.
We then drove a couple of miles throughout state traces to a different thrift retailer…and JACKPOT!!! I picked up 23 CDs in whole for $23…and what a set of albums. I’ve by no means hit a motherload like this earlier than at a thrift retailer…and I left a ton of nice ones there that I already had. It was insane.
Okay, however that wasn’t the top of low cost stuff…that was the most cost effective stuff although. This subsequent batch got here from Hardy Boy Data in Mint Hill, NC. I went in to get this alternate cowl of Billy Idol’s debut album. The one which makes him appear like a lady and the file firm when…”WAIT A MINUTE”…and pulled it and threw on a black leather-based jacket for the remainder of the albums. It was in tough form, however for $6.50 it was mine. Whereas there I discovered a Tour Ebook from 1967 from The Monkees and a fantastic ZZ Prime 7″ Single.
However that wasn’t all…I discovered a couple of CDs for $2 every…
After which some Cassettes for $2 every as effectively…
After which on a visit to an vintage mall with my daughter, I truly discovered a pair 8-Tracks…that’s proper…8-Tracks. Consider it or not, they had been $2 every as effectively…
Wow, I’m drained already scripting this up. Okay, let’s get again to the conventional priced stuff, sadly. I picked up a couple of new releases on CD together with Ghost, Winger and a Re-issue from Aldo Nova…
Final month at Report Retailer Day, I picked up the brand new Eric Carr on vinyl, however I wasn’t in a position to get the CD. I used to be anxious I used to be going to must pay the Late Tax, however nope. Discovered it a file retailer in France for the conventional $15 sale value…MINE!! And Mike Ladano picked one up as effectively after I instructed him about it.
There have been a pair issues I purchased in April that didn’t present up till Might and they’re the final gadgets I picked as much as finalize the line-up for a brand new sequence that shall be formally introduced in a pair days…
After which I began choosing issues as much as fill some holes for an additional sequence that could be coming to the positioning this Fall…see for those who can work out the connection between these two…
And that Def Leppard band put out a brand new album. I used to be in a position to seize it on vinyl, CD and a signed vinyl image disc restricted to three,000 copies. I used to be too gradual on the cassette and missed out on that one. Perhaps sometime I’ll seize it…
And lastly, I went and Jeff Scott Soto in live performance and on the merch desk was a model new, restricted run CD of a band Jeff was in again within the early 90’s that by no means received launched…it’s out now and I now have it. Will probably be the ultimate evaluation within the Jeff Scott Soto Sequence (until he releases one thing between now and August…
Whew…and that’s it for this month. I purchased a lot stuff that I haven’t even listened to all of it. I’m hoping June could have some cool stuff as I’m hoping to hit up a file retailer out in Los Angeles throughout June and being an enormous retailer in L.A., I’m hoping to search out some attention-grabbing, unusually uncommon stuff that I would usually not discover in my small city of Charlotte, NC. Right here is all the things we had for the month…
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you loved the stroll by way of. Till subsequent month, carry on digging!!
