I think I got it sorted. Thanks.

Long time no see... I got a copy in trade this summer and broke it the next day. If you have a spare, then let's move. lonestarstomp at gmail.com will get at me. Thanks all.

Venturie 5 - Good 'n Bad (Venturie 1001) An unplayed M- SOLD Recently came in to a few unplayed copies of the Venturie 5 on Venture. Great record out of New Mexico. Used to be around and all over, but not as easy to see these days. I'm heading to the post office today anyway so I figured I'd...

Persistance. Going back week after week and getting to know your shop folks. Get to know 'em well enough and you'll get first look at new catches before anyone else. Last weekend I got to be the first person to go through a 20,000 45 accumulation that hit a record shop in the area. I pulled 15...

Some of my finds from the few 100 45s and lps I've lugged home the past few weeks. Flea Markets, a storage unit, garage sales, antique shops, et al. $30 bucks total for the below with the majority wrapped up in the Nightcaps and Rush ($4 each), Vestells ($6 because all 45s regardless of content...

Have bought quite a few records as of late, but pleased as a green chile to score this one yesterday in Clovis, NM in a junk shop around the corner from the Norman Petty / Rock n' Roll Museum. Yes... that's a $15.95 price tag and yes that's what I paid. Most expensive record on the shelf so...

Local thrift that rarely gets in records had a box of 'dirty' records sitting outside. Pulled a decent stack, mostly $20 soul / R&B. Except for these. Not a bad $5 pile.

Knocked off some big West Texas wants this year. G45 related... Chevelle V - Come Back Bird (UMI) Chevelle V - Dangling Little Friends w/ PS (Titan) I think the Boys on Emcee is the only garage 45 outta Abilene I still need. Signs of Life - 7 song acetate; all covers Danny & the Counts -...

Ebay seller was running a huge chunk of El Paso goodies... Okay… not El Paso, but an upgrade. Upgrade. I got outbid on Wild Ones, Mike Renolds, and Danny & the Counts and the like. Prices went a bit nuts on a few things. Like me- I'm sure - folks were just doubling down to grab as many...

A local charity runs a big garage sale this weekend every year. Most of the time I miss the sale. Records are underwhelming for the most part, but I usually have good luck on that day regardless. 10+ years back I found some decent 45s at the sale and then hit the road and found the Spades on...

Dude… we've got cows to tip up here in Haskell on Saturday. But if we finish early maybe we'll tip some hippies, too.

(I've already talked to him, btw).
