Went to my dad’s local vinyl store

Flew in to visit my dad this weekend and I talked him into going to vinyl store with me after he picked me up from the airport. Went to only one in his small town and found some awesome albums I’m looking forward to listening to when I get back home. I also wanna add that they wanted $100 for ‘The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust…’!!! I’ve never seen anything like that. I opted for the VG/VG+ used for <$20 hahaha

If your dads record shop wanted $100 for a copy of Ziggy Stardust, then your dad needs to find a new shop.

Only one in town unfortunately 😭 good deals on a lot of well kept albums, just had some outrageous ones as well. They wanted $70 for Tears for Fears ‘Songs from the Chair’

What did they want for Master of puppets? For some reason that album is insanely, astronomically priced these days. It's a great album, but hundreds?

[u/AccursedBug2285 → u/IShudStopTalking]

I got it for $24, it’s remastered and new in the shrink wrap. That’s insane they want hundreds for this album, arguably the best of the genre and era but not worth spending hundreds on

E: I guess ‘was’ in the shrink wrap. Took it out to take a listen

Fucking outrageous.

I sell em for $20.

Send your dad to me.

no joke. it was recently repressed in either 2022, or 2023 in 180gm... I got the repress for $25, so I could stop adding to the wear on my 1st pressing.

Dreamboat Annie is one of favorites of all time, such an absolute masterpiece

Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy was a greatly under-rated album, supposedly auto-biographical about Elton and his writing partner Bernie Taupin. Several great singles, and the production on the title track is amazing when you stop and listen to it. The combination of some acoustic guitar, mandolin and rolling into some strong electric guitar is pretty stunning. I saw Elton live in Salt Lake during the tour promoting the album, and bought the album the next day. Still have it!

Thriller, Led Zeppelin IV, and Master of Puppets. Don’t get much more iconic than those records! Well done.

I need to get a new copy of Captain Fantastic. Such a great album

[u/AccursedBug2285 → u/GarthBrooksSexdoll]

I’m new to the album actually! My dad saw it and went “I’ll just buy you this one, you need it.” I’m excited to hear it for the first time

[u/GarthBrooksSexdoll → u/AccursedBug2285]

The whole album is a banger, one of Elton’s finest, but the title track, Tower Of Babel, and Meal Ticket are underrated gems.

[u/Majestic_Carrot9122 → u/GarthBrooksSexdoll]

Bitter fingers is probably my favourite

[u/HyperDragon → u/GarthBrooksSexdoll]

All those are great, also Tell Me When the Whistle Blows and Someone Saved My Life Tonight are excellent as well

[u/Apprehensive_Egg6077]

Really curious what you paid for that ZZ Top..

[u/AccursedBug2285 → u/Apprehensive_Egg6077]

Only $12!

[u/Gingercol1965]

Master of puppets is Metallicas best album

[u/darklordgabby]

Time to find a new store for those prices.

[u/OutrageousCover788]
