Found some great obscure quad lps. Also will pick up anything that looks wierd. That is once I'm done sifting through heaps of old Styx, Journey, Pat Benatar, Pablo Cruise and all the other shit 70s & 80s rock. They generally have multiple copies of each old lp. I was at a New Uses store last week and scored a pile of Factory and New Order related cds for 40 cents each! Didn't even know they were on clearance til I checked out. Most of the time I come away empty handed.
