So as I mentioned recently I picked up a record player as my birthday gift to me. Along with a player, I needed some vinyl, but didn’t really have the budget to load up so here is my jump started collection from a local music chain, a record shop, and the Sowa Open Market from Saturday night & Sunday afternoon:

Alice in Wonderland (got this for 50 cents at least years rock n’ roll yard sale)

Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer EP (local chain)

Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young - So Far (Sowa)

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (reissue) (local chain)

Grateful Dead - Terrapin Station (promo copy) (record shop)

Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind (record shop)

Billy Joel - The Stranger (Sowa)

Pink Floyd - A Collection of Dance Songs (record shop)

Portishead - Machine Gun (single) (record shop)

Richard Pryor - Here & Now (Sowa)

Simon & Garfunkel - Greatest Hits (Sowa)

The Who - Tommy (Sowa)

Not a bad start. More markets like Sowa will yield some great finds. I got Tommy & Richard Pryor for a dollar each! Fun/Exciting/Random acquisition updates to come in the future I suppose.
