It'll be left unopened, and hopefully something I can punt on in a few years at a good profit!

I'm afesteringvinylphile.
Back from a week long vacation. Planted myself in the Atlantic Ocean several times. I had planned on visiting five record shops. In the end, I only visited 2. The first one had me flashing back to the 80's in New York City. The place was packed wall to wall with rows of new vinyl. The second used shop was way above average, as well.
New:
Flora Purim If You Will
Paul McCartney Flaming Pie
Alphonse Mouzon By All Means
The Natural Sounds of Airto Seeds On The Ground
Ian Carr Belladonna
Return to Forever Live at The Old Grey Whistle Test, 3 March 1976
The Dave Brubeck Quartet Dave Digs Disney
Used:
Jade Warrior (original US pressing)
John Martyn Solid Air (Island pink rim)
Renaissance Carnegie Hall Live
James Brown Plays New Breed (The Boo-Ga-Loo)
David Crosby Graham Nash Wind On The Water
The Rolling Stones 12 x 5 (1966 US Mono Reissue)
Howard Wales & Jerry Garcia Hooteroll?
Freddie & The Dreamers Do The "Freddie"
and a bunch more I haven't brought in yet for cleaning. Bittersweet considering the reason we went on vacation.
Lyrics are the ramblings of man, sometimes inspired by The Creator, most often, not.
But music (melodies, harmonies, rhythms), that's God stuff.
Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
