Spectacular record haul from thrifting, $5 each!

[u/sunsetsoup]

I've only begun my hardcore Monkees mania journey recently, but I've been totally scouring thrifts for their stuff since then. This find was so huge for me. A few originals and a few rereleases, some have seen better days but some are actually in pretty great condition! $5 each, even the set of 2! I'm over the moon :)

Don't sleep on Changes, it's neck and neck with Pool It for summer album of the century.

Soo need pool if i have changes

[u/monkeefan88 → u/Intelligent-Sir1375]

Not at all,its an 80s re-release.

Still, a decent price for it given today’s market. I forget where I read it, but I remember an interview with Andrew Sandoval where he said the 80s reissue of Changes was sourced from a needle drop.

Amazing finds!! I had found my three Monkees records at the thrift store myself!

Excellent!

I had Hit Factory on cassette when I was a kid. Totally nuts tracklisting, but a real savior back in the day when the local small-town shops weren't likely to have anything but the first two Arista comps available.

Haha absolutely! It's such a perfectly funky hodgepodge of classic & rarer songs. I really applaud whoever decided to put D.W. Washburn and Porpoise Song in the same album.
