I scored the Bottle Rockets as well. My store is small and posts pictures of Facebook of what they got. The spot they put the Bottle Rockets in the rack was empty when I got there, so I figured someone else bought it and mentioned this while buying other records. It turned out they still had it, as someone had it, changed their mind and left it in a different display rack, and so I got it.
Sounds like an amazing day! I too take long weekend drives. I get out of the city and drive through the corn fields of western Illinois. Very therapeutic. Great finds! I did well too. No line. Two customers in the shop and got everything. 🎶☮️🎶
Came for the records, but the math at the beginning was confusing Your passion and dedication is wonderful. Driving to Santa Cruz was a smart move. I would have done that too after that scheduling debacle. Loved the stories Chris. A fun hang here ✌🏻
Great haul. I went specifically for that Dead box but wasn't anticipating a sealed lone copy of the fairly recently released all analog cut of Dicks Picks Vol 1 sitting in the bins for a good price and 10% off. I missed that initial release so I snagged that up. They had at least 10 copies of the Fillmore so I should be able to snag that soon.
I picked up Little Feat Live - a RSD bargain - 3 LP set $50 / I also picked up John Lee Hooker & The Faces - both of those albums were under $30 - so I was happy with my pickups.
Awesome 👏

Glad you had a great RSD after a rocky start. You persevered and were rewarded 👍
True, true!

I've been doing it since I got my license many decades ago. Long, long drives - like meditation.
Sounds like such a perfect day. I used to drive down to Santa Cruz fairly often for the same reasons. Miss it. Nice finds too!
Been a long time since I was this excited in a record store, especially after a rough start.

Thanks, as always, Mazzy!

De la Soul! … definitely a blast from my past. 😎
Same here!

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving, Chris!
Thanks, you too!
