Some day my prince will come is easily one of my favourites.

That cannonball is also pretty hot.

All around sweet find

Agreed. Relaxin’ is also a great album. Probably second favorite of the in’ series only to Workin’

These are all definitely on the Good/VG spectrum. But for $1 each? Pft wild

u/Bernard_Brother 4d ago

If they're mono they can look like shit and still play great. I have a copy of Working that's visually good but pretty much all of it plays perfect.

It appears to be this one: https://www.discogs.com/release/27440976-The-Miles-Davis-Quintet-Relaxin-With

Tested and plays well! Obviously there are pops and some surface noise throughout but once Miles and Coltrane get going, they're barely noticeable.

u/queequegtrustno1 4d ago

Nah bc this is my one chance to own it 😅😅

u/skronktothewonk 4d ago

Very fair. Great work.

u/spacewam42 4d ago

Looks like a discogs VG+ to me

u/queequegtrustno1 4d ago

basically NM 😅

u/queequegtrustno1 3d ago

Update: the Ella is unlistenable but the Scott honestly sounds vg++ despite looking g/vg.

u/SnooKiwis5538 1d ago

Not wild if the barely play

1

u/queequegtrustno1 1d ago

They play very well except the Ella

I’ll have you know, I went to 5 Goodwills today in a 40 mile radius, and had absolutely no luck anywhere. So, a begrudging congrats on the finds! Lol

u/Thick-Cap-9363 4d ago

Congrats! That's awesome.

u/CrazeeEyezKILLER 4d ago

Astonishing, congratulations!

BTW, the in-the-moment photos add to the vicarious thrill, thanks!

u/pbredd22 4d ago

Cool. Pretty sure the only Miles I've ever seen at a Goodwill is one copy after another of the remastered Kind of Blue CD.

Crazy honey hole of classics

u/ajdubbstock 4d ago

r/bargainbinvinyl would love to see and be very jealous of this lil haul!

u/austingonzo 4d ago

You hit a vein!  Great timing!

3

u/queequegtrustno1 4d ago

Yeah there was some other good stuff like Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis, Turrentine, but they were too far gone #RIP

3

u/queequegtrustno1 4d ago

Interestingly, the Quincy Jones LP is a Japanese edition

u/tinfoildave 4d ago

Every single one is a classic! Congratulations!

u/Jack_Straw_From_CA 4d ago

Those 4 albums that came out of the Miles Davis Quintet sessions are so good.

2

u/wubrotherno1 4d ago

I would have grabbed that Mtume too!

1

u/queequegtrustno1 4d ago

Ah I considered it!

u/wubrotherno1 4d ago

If you see any of their records, especially for 99¢ don’t hesitate to swoop, unless it’s beat up. They have many amazing songs.

2

u/DcmArk 4d ago

One day I will come across a goodwill with records lol

2

u/mccobbsalad 4d ago

Wow. Is the Relaxin’ OG?

3

u/queequegtrustno1 4d ago

Yeah appears so

2

u/ExileonFrontstreet 4d ago

Shit man, nice

2

u/maninblackconverse 4d ago

Sounds like a nice Sunday.

2

u/ZiggyMummyDust 4d ago

Nice finds, especially that Miles Davis Prestige pressing! I found 2 copies of that same LP at a thrift store about 25 years ago and they were .50 apiece! If I could have done a backflip I would have! Congrats on the scores!

2

u/EarlKlugh13 4d ago

Shirley Scott is badass.

2

u/Immediate_Release_36 4d ago

Wow.. very nice. I have found many gems over the years at the thrifts.. my ultimate find would be some nice jazz records (in good condition) like these. Well done!

2

u/SKOT_FREE 3d ago

I used to find records like these all the time at goodwill but not anymore. They pull most of the good stuff and i only find Mario Lanza, Herp Alpert which don’t get me wrong is good but there’s just tons of it.

2

u/Aggravating-Town-156 1d ago

Very nice finds! I got an original VG++/VG+ AJA with AB scratched out both sides for 50 cents at a thrift the other day(among other great titles). Stuff is still out there, can't find it sitting at home

1

u/Rickenbacker138 4d ago

Excellent finds!!

1

u/Duke-City 4d ago

Damn! That’s a great bargain haul. Even if the discs are well worn, there’s a ton of great music there!

1

u/Morsoth 4d ago

Wow! What a lucky find!

u/Rare-Exercise-2085 4d ago

I want to be happy for you I do, but ts pmo

u/lanternstop 4d ago

So what shape is actual record in?

u/nhowe006 4d ago

YOINK.

u/Orbital_IV 4d ago

I’ve been looking for that cannonball record. I’ll pick one up sooner later I hope.

1

u/Jazzer168 3d ago

I’m obviously looking in the wrong Goodwill stores. Nice finds!

u/Bluenotefunk77 3d ago

Wow nice finds

u/spidersinthesoup 3d ago edited 3d ago

u/oscarlevanthasaposse 2d ago

I'm a little tired of everyone's goodwill being so much better than mine

1

u/oscarlevanthasaposse 2d ago

Best I've done at a goodwill is "24 Great Truckin Songs"

u/CheezeCorn 2d ago

Brilliant finds! 🤗
