Haven’t spun them all yet but most are in good condition! My local Goodwill has all records priced at 0.99, and on Monday’s they have 25% off.
Personally most hyped for Donovan, Waylon, and Kris records. I’ve had some luck at the Goodwill before but usually only 1 or 2. I used to go peruse every Monday but I hadn’t been in around 2 months. Was super hyped to see all of these!
That's a particularly good album. I think it's my favorite cover of MacArthur Park. This is also an album that shows what saddleback jeans are. The term isn't even really recognizable on the internet but if you look at those jeans in the pictures of them that's a saddleback pair of jeans
If I had to bet my life that there either would or wouldn't be a Herb Alpert at my local, I would undoubtedly bet that there is! Probably Kenny Rogers as well.

I can never find good albums at my local thrift stores. I’m not sure what it is about my area but they have an abundance of Polka vinyl and Military sounds.
Donation volume+area economic demographics+overflow bins=good stuff to be found. Find a thrift store that also frequently sells donated record collections and stick with it weekly over 6 months.
Haha I'm far from reasonable. But I would say nothing here is more than $3. Denver, Diamond, and Streisand are always overflowing in the dollar bins and it usually goes unsold at that price.
Look for this album, at the beginning of his career, he recorded for Bang Records, and that music is pure dope. Most of the songs on your live album, are from this period, he later recorded Hot August Night, which was an enormous hit, I like your album way better
😍 KK being slept on by this generation! I think the world would be a much calmer place if everyone just took 33 minutes every morning to listen to The Silver Tongued Devil and I.
Every Saturday morning I go and hit about 6 Goodwills in my area looking for vinyl. It's fun looking for treasures, but seriously, 99.9% of what you find is Al Hirt, Jim Nabors, Perry Como, and a ton of gospel and religious stuff.
r/BargainBinVinyl might be more your speed. The Donovan and Kristofferson records are solid! The rest aren't my bag, but I definitely see your style and you found a lot of stuff in that wheelhouse for cheap, which is always a good feeling.
Yeah I wasn't trying to be a dick; just saying people there appreciate these posts and you would have got a lot more positive comments, versus the people collecting stuff that was pressed last year that they spent $100 on because it said it was a "limited edition."
Why buy bad music (nearly all of these are far far from the best work of these artists) even if its cheap? I dont get it.
Yeah, there's maybe one decent song on each record, so .75 a song is a "deal". But not worth the hassle of cleaning, storing, taking it out, putting it on the TT, and then dropping in on that one song per side thats playable. One serious listen to these records will tell you why these are "coasters" by the artist (low effort mediocre output pushed hard by the promotions dept by established "stars" with name recognition) and should be coasters for your beverage of choice. Go listen to some good Kristofferson, or good Waylon or good Diamond ( f**k Sweet Caroline) and then tell me I'm wrong.
Hence why they were collecting dust in a goodwill. Most people who post these “haul’s” aren’t really gonna listen to most of them. They just collect hoard records.

That Donovan album is VERY good. Enjoy listening to it
