My wife wanted to go to Joann's Craft Store yesterday , which happens to be right across the street from Looney Tunes, so I just felt morally obligated to drive her.  

Not a big score, but I picked up two audiophile CDs for only $1.99 each.  

Reiner/Chicago Symphony: Also Sprach Zarathustra / Ein Heldenleben - RCA Living Stereo Hybrid SACD

Felix Hell: Organ Sensation - Reference Recordings CD

[richidoo]

That Felix Hell CD is pretty fun.  Their is a Listz tune called B.A.C.H. Something.. That's the subwoofer track you're looking for. A musical album despite the marketing.

So TMAZZ and Pete G told me to try Infinity Records, so I did.

Bought the 2 Masekelas as heard a 3 title, Hope, at Pete's and enjoyed it. Another hole in the FM collection filled, and the 2 BN reissues I had but on CD. And the Neil Young was cheapest thing at $10, I found Infinity a tad pricey.

Back on LI, this time hit Record Reserve on North side. A small place but good prices. Finally found a Peter Green title, plus he plays on the Mick Fleetwood title as Peter Greenbaum. 4 titles for $28.

You and the P-Man are like Hope and Crosby. I think you guys should make one of those "Road To" movies.

I can see it now............ Coming soon to a theater near you - "Gene & Bill - On the Road to the Record Store."

Hey, I had to get something for my wife (makes it easier to get in the door with all the rest.  )

A number of things that I wouldn't have given a second thought to at normal prices, but for some as low as 25 cents a disc, what the heck, I can take a chance.
