Got a super cool find on Saturday. Geez, hands shaking still, does that say how awesome my find is? Well I guess some background is in order. I HATE Estate Sales. Despise them. Who really wants to buy the possessions of someone who has passed, or worse is down on the luck?

Sometimes there are some electronics. Often, it is vintage and in some rare occasions midfi or better. On Saturday there was a lowly, carboard box with some cassettes on top. Curiousity got me. Nina Simone, some Beach Boys.....Hey, there are Minidiscs in here!

The first disc I saw blew my mind, and then further and further I went just getting some awesome titles.

Let me toss out a few labels the discs have on them:

Jimi, Stockholm 1967
Van Morrison, Warsaw, May 2001
Talking Heads, August 1983
Led Zepplin, SBD
Allman Brothers, Chicago, June 2002
Pearl Jam, Soldier Field, Chicago 1995
SRV, Freedom Hall UCLA November 1984
Elvis Costello, Vanderbilt U, November 1987

In total there are about 30 discs with labels like this. I wanted to get home and have a listen. Nope, I want to crack open a cold one, and enjoy them alone. I'm going to have to wait a few days till I have the house to myself, but I can't see how I will be disappointed.

Happy Listening
