Hi all...

I had another thread where I asked about Polk RT15i's. I purchased them last night for 25 bucks, and they are in great condition. Can't listen to them until I get an amp, but I'm sure they'll be great. The person also had lots of vinyl in the car. She said she was selling them, I took a look. Lots of the music I was familiar with and knew I woudl like. I had an extra 11 bucks and got around 35 albums for that. They are listed below. Any gems in there? Anything that's known to be a great recording? Just wondering cause I'm new to the Vinyl scene. Even if not, for 11 bucks, can't go wrong I figure. And some of the music I love, even if it is a bad recording. Thanks.

    For $11!!!!!....WTH!
    That's a great list you got there. Have you looked at the condition of them yet. I wouldn't get to excited until further investigation.

    Congrats! :twisted:

    Even if only 3 or 4 are worthy of keeping, 11 bucks is a steal.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    There are quite a bit more than just 3 or 4 that are keepers. This is a nice trove of vinyl!
