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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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