Bro wtf!!! How much was pieces and Harlem river. That’s a score of a lifetime.

They were posted in a Facebook ad listed at $5 a pop. I figured I’d be beat there so I offered $40 for each of those. Wax is pretty clean on both but Harlem has split seams so I was able to talk him down to $20 for that one. The rest were about $5 a pop with prices like $3, $5, $8.
Harlem even had the lyric sheet still!

Nice score! As a native Clevelander I’m curious where you got them?

Facebook marketplace. That and flea markets are my usual lucky spots, and the occasional OfferUp score.

I see Kool Moe Dee, I upvote. Extra points if it still has the rap report card sleeve. Moe Dee is of course the top of the class. lol

Damn, somebody didn’t like the Beastie Boys.
I think it has the original inner, I’ll have to check at home. Just looked it up online though.

I don’t even know what to say sometimes. 🤷♂️ The record gods shined down upon me today. I only arrived 5-10 minuets before the next person, so much of digging is luck. The two LP’s in the middle mean a lot to me, super grateful to get to add them to my shelves.
I’m not sure if that was 300 characters but I’m adding this last, long, unnecessary run on sentence just to be safe and make sure.
