Musical Thrift Store Treasures

The thrift store record universe does not discriminate and is as expansive as all the people who ever lived in a particular city or region. From anywhere between 10 cents and a dollar for an LP, a whole history of music can be collected. Not the kind of history you read about in the media but a history largely ignored by record companies and hardly released on CD. Every week I'll post a song that caught my interest, a beautiful song, a strange melody, or a tune long forgotten.
