i got a bargain last week - PG's "US" album on double vinyl in mint condition from my local used record store for £1.99 !!  there seems to be a 500% premium on Prog records there - Peter Gabriel is prog-related so that may explain the price drop

amazon.com often has some decent prog for 0.01 cents, and with shipping to my house that comes to $2.60, which isnt expensive at all. I got Santana Brothers, Union and Stereotomy at that price. ------------- Beauty will save the world.

There's a chain of record stores in northeast Ohio whose cheapo used bins ($5, $2.50 and $1) I like to comb through, looking for interesting stuff. Here's a few of my prog and prog-related finds (all $5 or less):
Anathema - Eternity and a natural disaster
Kevin Ayers - whatevershebringswesing - $2.50
Colosseum - Daughter Of Time - $1, in mint condition
Dream Theater - Metropolis, Pt. 2: Scenes From a Memory
The Gathering - if_then_else - this started my Anneke addiction
In the Woods... - HEart Of the Ages
Opeth - Morningrise - $1, this started my Opeth addiction
Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third - $2.50, but I've since seen it for $1
The Van der Graaf Generator - The least we can do is wave to each other - $5, remaster, in mint condition, this started my VDGG addiction
A lot of times, these stores will take in large amounts of stuff, and if they don't recognize something they'll be like "Who knows what the hell it is, throw in the cheapo bin, maybe someone will buy it....." The Opeth piece I picked up when Still Life was current, before they were a "household name". Keep looking and you never know what you'll find (or as my geologist brother says, "gleaming jewels can be found in fields of sh*t").

Today I picked up:
Threshold's 'Critical Mass' and Stackridge 'Purple Spaceships Over Yatton- Best Of' for £1.99 each in a nearby charity shop. There were some other assorted prog albums- an Ozric Tentacles best of, a few Nektar CDs and some neo prog/art rock I know little about- Pineapple Thief, Credo and Product.

| I picked up Rick Wakeman's "No Earthly Connection/Cost of Living" albums for £1 today (at a car boot sale). |

^ I am fairly sure that's unofficial Chopper, but seeing as No Earthly Connection- by far my fave Wakeman album- is OOP in the UK and was a £1 makes it an excellent find. Have no idea about 'The Cost Of Living' though... I did find Ritual's eponymous album down a local boot sale for £2- very enjoyable Gentle Giant meets Yes meets Queen kind of album. |

I think you're right, it appears to be Russian in origin. I didn't realise until I got it home, but I guess that's what you expect from a boot sale.
It surprised me how many people were selling dodgy DVDs and MP3s of the Top 40 CDs, when every time I rent a DVD you get an advert about not buying these DVDs. If the local police popped round there on a Sunday morning, they could raise their arrest rates quite a bit!

I bought Away with Words by Jim Matheos for only four Euros from InsideOut. It's worth so much more though, if you think about it. ------------- Tous les chemins qui s’ouvrent à moi ne mènent à rien si tu n’es plus là |
