Yesterday's vinyl haul from the $1 bin




The highlight so far from yesterday's haul was Frank Sinatra - Swing Along With Me (Reprise original) $5. [This photo is actually somebody else's copy, but the same version]

I've got a good handle on Sinatra''s Capitol years, with originaly pressings, and now I'm branching out into the earlier of the Reprise LPs, first pressings with the tri-color anxious Frank label. These sound rich, full and delightful.

Other finds:

Frank Sinatra - Ring a ding ding (Reprise original) $5
Harry Belafonte - Belafonte Sings the Blues (RCA LOP 1006) $3
Mel Torme - It's a Blue World (Bethlehem / Kenwood Japan) $5
