Nice grabs! Welcome back Stateside.Some of these are fresh-ish. I was gone for a year and my wife was kind enough to hold onto them. Now I'm slowly going through them. A few I got since I've been back.

OG Canadian copy of Tears for Fears - Seeds of Love. I bought this when I got back. Seller graded it M/M but opened and played. Newer seller. I obviously new it wasnt mint in the vinyl by definition nor did I think the jacket would be. But the price was actually really good and all 6 of their discogs ratings were positive. Vinyl actually played great. A solid NM. Jacket was a VG- w a small seam split on top and showing its age in other places. But I was happy for the price. I did send the seller a long message encouraging them to take grading more seriously because there would be buyers who would ride him about that M/M shit. I declined to leave any feedback.

I've got a lot more to get through but I'm trying to not allow the buying, cleaning, curation parts of the hobby to monopolize it anymore and just the listening and enjoying. So I've been cleaning 1-2 daily (or none at all). Making the effort to not let a hobby control meNice grabs! Welcome back Stateside.

Currently being cleaned. In the meantime I've slipped Peppy some doggo CBD gummies. In about 30 she'll be ready to float in space.

Well, you've got all the best Buffet albums there, so you're all set. Also, I cannot stand it when store put the sticker right on the sleeve. The store I go to does that and I have to leave them on, because they usually rip the sleeve if I try to remove them.Instant Buffett collection (I already have volcano and you had to be there) and other stuff... haha

Luckily these come off easy, unless they’ve been on there for awhile. Also anything under $10 gets it right on the sleeve. Anything over gets a poly bag and the sticker on the poly. Understandable.Well, you've got all the best Buffet albums there, so you're all set. Also, I cannot stand it when store put the sticker right on the sleeve.

Most excited for Havana and 3/4 timeWell, you've got all the best Buffet albums there, so you're all set. Also, I cannot stand it when store put the sticker right on the sleeve. The store I go to does that and I have to leave them on, because they usually rip the sleeve if I try to remove them.
My copy of Havana Daydreamin was a $6 discount-bin grab and it sounds like utter trash. Just distorted and fuzzy all the way through. I'm guessing it was a constant spin from the previous owner. I still spin it regularly, because it's one of my favorite Buffet albums. I am partial to A1A, though, and (of course) Changes in Latitudes...Most excited for Havana and 3/4 time
