Pawn Shop Treasures
October 16, 2008 by Scott
If you have the means, always take time to check through pawn shops for little treasures like this. I stopped at a small, new pawn shop last night and saw that they had a load of vinyl on a shelf. I started to go through it, not expecting to find anything good because you rarely find any good vinyl in pawn or thrift shops down in the south. I was actually surprised to find as much as I did. This was the best thing I found and it’s in great condition. 26 years old and this record is still in great condition. They had a bunch more I could have gone through but my wife was out in the car waiting for me and it wasn’t in the best part of town. Sometimes you never know what you’re going to find when you visit pawn shops and sometimes it a diamond in the rough that everyone else is overlooking.

That album cover is bad ass
Still has the plastic on it too. I also picked up Quiet Riot’s Metal Health. I may go back later and see what else they have, but I might also go see Mushroomhead tonight too so I’m not sure.
niceness plastic and all.
I ran back down there earlier. Must have been the only few really good things. There was some other classic rock records that I wasn’t totally interested in enough to buy though. Mostly country, gospel and classical. Changed my mind on the Mushroomhead show. Had to choose eBetween Mushroomhead tonight or Opeth and High On Fire next week. I chose Opeth next week.
I would have to go with Opeth too, High on Fire is a pretty good band too.
