You know Gene that's the thing about the Crack House. It's a thrift shop not a record store. So they get in records and CDs whenever somebody decides to unload some for the tax write off along with the boxes of old clothes, the no longer needed baby furniture etc. you never know when a bunch of decent condition music will show up, but when it does it is usually in a big batch (somebody downsizing before they move to Florida dumping a whole collection and things like that) and when a good collection does come in it usually gets bought up pretty quickly and in large chunks (hey I resemble that remark.) Thus my compulsion to check in several times a week, just to make sure they didn't just put out a new batch. For example it has been about 3 or 4 weeks since I have walked out of there with more than one or two pieces and yesterday I walk in and, boom, I have a cart filled with 20+ CDs (Slow day for records
) That's just the way it happens there. (I also found some on the used book rack in the library. It was a good day for music.) And now I'll probably go through another drought at the Crack House, but it will take me a while to go through all that I grabbed yesterday, so that will hopefully hold me over until I can find some more.
There are certainly better places to go if your objective is to just go out and buy a record (PREX and several record stores on LI), but the Crack House is certainly a fun place to engage your hunter-gatherer instincts.
