Twelve and a half albums for $29.50

Instead of a long, boring write-up on these albums and what they mean to me, here's the email I sent to my friend Sherie when I arrived home from buying them:

Dude, you won't believe the vinyl I found at Red White and Blue today. I was just gonna buy a Saved By the Bell board game until I went over to the records section. This haul cost me $29.50 total:

Talking Heads - Remain in Light (BAM!!)

Talking Heads - Little Creatures (hmm... late period, but it's still Talking f'n Heads; "And She Was" is on here)

The Police - Outlandos d'Amour (first album; "Roxanne", "Hole In My Life", "Can't Stand Losing You")

The Police - Regatta de Blanc (second album; "Message In a Bottle", "Walking On the Moon", "The Bed's Too Big Without You")

The Police - Zenyatta Mondatta (third album; *EVERYTHING*)

The Police - Ghost in the Machine (realized I already had this when I got home; want a copy?)

Blondie - Parallel Lines (for some reason this was 4 bucks instead of the usual 2)

Blondie - Eat to the Beat (I'm pretty sure you know what's on this one)

Queen - Jazz (wow ...okay I just opened it up to check out the quality of the vinyl, and "A Night at the Opera" is in there too...!!)

Queen - Queen II (no comment! [I don't think I know any of these songs])

Weather Report - Heavy Weather (fusion jazz featuring Jaco Pastorius [bigtime Squarepusher influence] on fretless bass)

Morris Day and the Time - Cream Castle ("If the Kid Can't Make You Come", "Chili Sauce", "My Drawers")

Crazy, huh? They're all in really good shape too. Vinyl, covers and sleeves. What poor sap unloaded all of these gems at one time and why?

Thanks again, Red White & Blue!

Special Bonus!! In the top right corner of the photograph is my secret diary! Ooooooh!!
