In this episode of my Virtual Crate Digging series, I open another mystery box of thrift store vinyl—carefully selected by a trusted source who knows my taste in vintage pressings, jazz, and audiophile gems.
This one turned out to be especially strong in areas like exotica, Command Records, United Artists “Wall-to-Wall Stereo”, and even some Living Stereo-style orchestral recordings—along with a few unexpected surprises, including some space-age bachelor pad material.
As always, I’m discovering these in real time, sharing first impressions on the music, the pressings, and the cover art as we go. There are some visually striking records in this batch—and at least one surprise at the very end that I definitely didn’t see coming.
