Last year, my wife's family was cleaning out an old house from a deceased aunt that hadn't been lived in in decades and they were about to throw away two large boxes of LPs and 45s. I loaded them in the back seat of my truck and took them home. Many of them are from the 50s, 60s and 70s including some Elvis Presley ....

What's interesting is the guy never sent them back for credit. Its almost like the car dealer up north that never sold his trade ins. He'd park them. He had 60s and 70s models with crazy low mileage. Had a huge car sale a few years back. Huge.

I'd love to see what he has. I go to Half Price Books once a month to see if they have records that I'm looking for. Those are usually pre-owned, and go anywhere from $4 - $250 from what I've seen. The higher priced records they have are locked up. Nothing beats the musical experience that vinyl offers.

He did ?!? Which song?

 

"Live and Die Rock and Roll" off of Snake Farm

 

Mama cried and daddy burned

When I told them what I learned

An old stones lick and a dirty groove

Let it bleed, you gotta move

Some of us are born to run, out on highway 61

The Clash, Ramones and MC5

Nobody gets out of here alive
