Goodwill record album jackpot!

[Quigley Brown]

I was a kid in a candy store during a visit to my local Goodwill this week. They had just put out stacks of records and I was the first to go through them.

They charge 75 cents an album and the cashier wanted to charge me 75 cents for each record in each of these 78 rpm albums. I informed her that each WAS an album and that their sign said 75 cents an album. I convinced her.

I have a lot of Frank Sinatra LPs in my collection, but haven't seen a few of these. I bought a couple that I already own because these were in nearly mint condition.

Here's a variety...Judy Garland, Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, more Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman. WAIT! How'd KC & The Sunshine Band get in there?????

How about the outfit that Sinatra wears on the album called "The Voice"...casual cool. A great find all around. Congrats!

Swee-ee-eet! Nice Work (if you can get it), Mr. Brown. That "Glenn Miller Story" set on 78s, that was from 1953, 78 copies of that must be scarce, most everyone was converting to LPs and 45s by then (I have the 10-inch Lp with same cover).

Stan Kenton is a Favorite! His 40s stuff is the Best. Often as intriguing as Ellington or Monk.

Looks like a swell find!
One thing I like about vintage albums is the graphics. Not only did they have great music, but they also had great covers to match. I especially like the Stan Kenton album with that nice warm cover that let's you know it's cookin'!

I wish I was that lucky, I bet I've scoured through thousands of old records and not found anything even close to being as cool as those...plenty of Ray Coniff albums, though.
