Great, unexpected finds this weekend

[conniek]

I went away with a good friend of mine this weekend. We stopped at an antique mall and had fun browsing around. My friend stumbled upon 4 crates of old LPs, and I jokingly said, "If I see a Poco album, I'm buying it."

Not 30 seconds later, what should I find? Yup. The Rose of Cimarron album! I was laughing so hard, I couldn't believe how it all played out. I got out my $2, anxious to secure my treasure.

As we were walking to check out, and laughing about how the album practically fell into my hands, I bumped into a poster hanging on a bookcase. It was an Eagles "The Long Run" tour poster advertising the gig in Pittsburgh on October 18, 1979. That became mine for a mere $9.

The next day, in Madison, Wisconsin, I stopped in one of my favorite music stores. There I managed to score another Poco album for 99 cents, and a CD called The Essential Poco for $8.

I'm NOT a collector of any kind, and for all of this stuff to just appear one weekend seems really funny to me. I'm a pretty new TBS fan, and am so happy to have some his older stuff.

sounds like a great find. i love going through shops that sell vintage vinyl unfortunately there aren't many around me though. the places that sell vinyl only sell the new vinyl that is wicked expensive. i am still kicking myself for not buying the Joe Perry album i came across in this one shop when i was in Maine.
enjoy your find

That's great Connie! Hope you enjoy your new "treasures".

Well Connie- you are probably hooked now!! Every time you pass an old record store etc, you will be checking out the vinyl! I LOVE LOVE LOVE all my vinyl. There's just something special about the bigger covers and sleeves. And good job on the poster also.

I AM a collector and I am always browsing through antique/thrift stores. Great finds!
I love when I stumble across terrific treasures like that. One of my favorites was a beige sweatshirt embroidered with "Eagles Helll Freezes Over World Tour 1995" for $2.
