i took this shot --a few days ago - on a rare . somewhat cool florida summer day-
i know it looks 'staged'
but NO --that was 'real life' for a few hours --while i was sorting out the 1000 ( THOUSAND ) !!!!
free tapes i scored a few weeks ago
this thread tells that story :: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10685&hilit=florida+members
was making 4 piles :
1. listen & save -- maybe
2. for goodwill
3. for sale to you lucky members
imp: :dog:
4. for the trash ???
when it came to deciding --which ones were trash
i just could not do it
:'-(
was thinking --how could we as vintage collector types -
ever chuck a brand new SEALED anything ???
there were hundreds of tapes by artists i never heard of -
and that had been discounted ( from the stickers) from $5.99 down to $.99
so -- nobody wanted them
and thats why they were free $$
but. TRASH ???
what if some were a new singers very first tape-
and it never sold --cuz nobody ever bothered to play it
:'-(
so the new artist got discouraged and BROKE and had to quit recording -
and then - as the final kick in the teeth -
i throw away their brand new tape --without ever hearing it
could you guys do that ???????????
does anybody know what i mean
