Crate Diggin'

I'll admit I got a late start for Record Store Day this passed weekend.  And subsequently it came back to bite me in my ass a bit.  I started at CD Source over on Greenville Ave and was met with a long line just to start diggin.  Clearly the word had got out.  I thought about Bill's Records but being that I had such a late start and other things scheduled for the day Bill's wasn't really an option.  Any avid vinyl enthusiast knows that if you go to Bills you have to be prepared to really dig!  I ended up at Half Price Books and found some gems.  I was able to get "Fresh" by Sly and the Family Stone, "Caricatures" by Donald Byrd, "Fire" by The Ohio Players (which I gave to a friend), and "The 1976 Solo Keyboard Album" by George Duke.  Sly had the best album artwork.  All in all I did pretty good and all for under twenty bucks!  Not bad for a late start.
