Ever check out artists that pollute local dollar bins (such as Herb Abert)

[ego killer]

alright so dollar bins tend to be loaded with garbage and a few gems. for example today i hit a thrift store and there were at least 50 christmas records, and 20 each of mantovani, henry mancini, and herb alpert.

herb alpert i never had much interest in but someone recommended i check out this cat masakela and there was a herb alpert and masakela record at one of my shops. i put that **** on and it had some of the wackest trumpet playing i have heard. i have 2 other herb alpert records i will most likely never listen to.

i bought a mancini record today, "mancini's angels" because it had some dope soundtrack stuff on it, i'll be bumping that today. hope it's decent, there's lots more where that came from.

At my local Goodwill, within the last 4 trips I've easily seen 50 Nana Mouskori records. Never bothered touching them.

However, my very first dig, I picked up a copy of South Of The Border by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass, and found some dope stuff on it. This surprised me once I found out Mr. Alpert was referred to as "thrift shop trash".

In conclusion, I dunno. A digger's first sense is to overlook the most common of records, but maybe there's some musical gems on them.
