Occasionally I read about lucky fellow vinyl nuts who have been fortunate enough to score a fair sized collection of records at a great price. For once, I'm pleased to be the teller of the story, rather than the reader! For a little over a year I've been talking with a local gentleman about his record collection, some 23 boxes full, a great deal of which are audiophile classics. This collection has it's share of early MOFI stuff, a bunch of Sheffield Labs DTD, Lyritas, and so on. Oh, and possibly the crowning glory: four of the earliest boxed sets released by Classic Records: the Brit Set, the S1 series (Box 1 and 2), and another one. Given that the guy is/was an audiophile, all the records are mint--some duplicate copies are still sealed!
I got a good deal, although I paid more than I can afford right now, but it was do or die time. To further sweeten the deal, the gentleman included a Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck for free!
I have a lot of new vinyl to sort through, and I imagine that some of it will go on the selling block to help pay for it. For example, I noticed a UHQR copy of The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper...
More details later, if there's sufficient interest.
