great finds


as i was saying in my last posting...i was in montreal last week....and a visit to montreal wouldn't be complete without a stop to my favorite record store on saint denis st.......Beatnick records...
i was looking for a vinyl copy of gordon lightfoot's summertime dream which contains my favorite song of his....The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald....they had one for a great price..
.....4.00$...in excellent condition....i even got it cleaned by a staff member with his secret formula cleaning solution......i also got a great vinyl copy of Paul Mccartney's Tripping the live Fantastic...a triple vinyl collection that is getting hard to find.....also got elton john's honky chateau on vinyl and jethro tull's stormwatch album on vinyl.....

i got to the counter to pay for my "great finds" and i saw they had an original long box edition of pink floyd's 2 cd set "anybody listening?? the wall live"......the price was 50.00$....i inquired if they would take 30.00$...the guy behind the counter counter offered 40.00$..so i replied 35.00$.....it was getting serious ;)....he called up the owner to verify if he could accept my latest price....the owner asked what my purchases were....he must of been impressed...i got the cd for 35.00$.....i'm usually not that great of a bargainer...but i was proud of myself that day :)
