An Afternoon At The Crack House

[etcarroll]

Eleazar's 2nd home - the Crack House and Crackie the vinyl dealer.

I see all the boxes on the floor in the aisle are gone, those boxes are called 'Classical display area', so Crackie cleaned house before the video was shot.

In celebration of Memorial Day that Crack House ran one of its 50% off sales. I usually do n ot do well at these sales because there are so many people picking through everything. Not unexpectedly I got completely sunked at the vinyl bins (well, StereoNut and I got them for about 25 albums on Sat afternoon ) I went over to the CD racks and picked out 5 CDs only to find that all five of them had been shoplifted out of the cases. 

I was just about ready to call it a day and leave empty handed when I sawe an entire grocery cart full of CDs being wheeled out of the back room. BINGO! I ended up getting 39 CDs, 1 SACD Hybrid and 2 DVD movies for under $36, including tax. 

Nothing really rare or valuable, but lots of good music none the less.

Will post up details as I listen to them.

Wow, are you saying that your wife actually went to PREX with you? My wife has put up with a lot of stuff related to my audio hobby, but she draws the line at actually going into record stores with me. I might have been able to get her to go along for the ride to Princeton, but once we hit the main drag she would have been out of the car saying "I'll just check out these boutiques, call me when you are done in the record store."

You finally got the MFSL version of the White album, nice

My wife never had the urge to have her own system. I am just thankful that she tolerates mine.
