Yeah I love me some Zia...although oddly enough their vinyl selection at a couple stores in Az seem to have been dwindling a little bit.
Never the less I picked up two records this last weekend as a gift to myself for my bday.Just a dude doing dude-ly things

I have been on a rip lately. Told myself that I would slow down this year as "somewhat of a New Year's Resolution".
Well, I lied to myself. Bad.
I have been going on a rampage. Besides the last 12 albums/CD's and SACD's I have blown money on so far this year, spent the dough today to get some of my favorites on a better (hopefully) source of medium...
Sarah is on SACD...currently only have the RB version and not available on a higher format AFAIK (other than LP)
Two BO'd Mo-Fi CD's - Greatest Rock ballads and Brothers in Arms SHM-SACD
and finally this week?
All pic's from the web whenever and wherever I could find them but the photos are accurate for what I ordered. I have feed the beast for now. We shall see what tomorrow brings...Lawd hep me please!

While going thru a Habitat For Humanity Restore I came across a 500’ of Belden’s 9497 speaker cable. It had a $20 price tag. How could I pass it up ??

The two CDs are housed in a 'fatboy' double jewel-case.
The silver discs with black and red text were pressed by Sony Music Australia (SMA):

You can buy "slim" 2 disc case. They are the size of a regular thickness CD case. 99% of the time The top and bottom paperwork will fit right in and you'll never know the difference. I've switched out all my fat boys that way and use that method.

Hit a record show in Pittsburgh today
Many of the bands/albums are unknown to me. Not a big $$$ day as 14 of the records were only $20. The best find of today is Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt.
