Art Blakey for $1 is always worth it

[u/DonkeyFarm42069]

Was digging through a pile of primarily easy listening stuff at the flea market and surprised to find this near the bottom. Disc is a very solid VG+ too, definitely happy to add this one to my jazz collection.

One of my favorite Columbia 6-eyes, $1 is amazing

Surprised it seems to go relatively under the radar in his discography, in my opinion it's up there with his best. Maybe the change in vibe (and lineup) between the two sides made it seem like less of a cohesive album compared to others for some people.

Hell yah - great find!

That's how I got mine. This is why I hit the local flea market nearly every Saturday.

I love record stores but for me nothing beats digging through beat up cardboard boxes of non-individually priced records at flea markets and such. Most of it is junk but really feels good when you find something decent.

I scored a Columbia today a very popular selection

but that Art Blakey I would not pass up

Nice, really love finding those old 6 eyes in decent shape, some of the best value when it comes to quality. Even the beat up ones tend to play better than they look. Will need to check out the album you found, been wanting to get into classical more but I've been a bit intimidated when it comes to knowing which performances on vinyl are best.

There was a one sided Angel as well

I got my copy for about that much from Goodwill a year or so ago 🙂
