Good Album Hunting, Wednesday, October 16, 2019: Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

October 17, 2019December 30, 2019 Brian J. Noggle

Yesterday, I took the boys up north to the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds to attend the Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library book sale where I predicted I would gorge on $1 record albums. Which proved truer than I thought. I bought a bunch. I got: KC and the Sunshine Band by KC and the Sunshine […]

Good Album Hunting, September 23, 2019: The Salvation Army Thrift Store

September 24, 2019September 23, 2019 Brian J. Noggle

We had a couple of minutes to kill before the school fundraiser began at Chick-Fil-A this evening, so we stopped by a couple of nearby thrift stores. I found a couple records at the Salvation Army thrift store, and I got a real deal as the clerk rang them up incorrectly and then let me […]

Good Album Hunting, Saturday, June 8, 2019: SEAS Sale and Relics Antique Mall

June 9, 2019June 8, 2019 Brian J. Noggle

So yesterday, I found myself at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton annual sale, and they had a couple of boxes of records. I found a couple that looked interesting and bought them along with a couple of glass vases to etch. Then, I found myself at Relics Antique Mall as my wife is looking for […]

Good Album Hunting, Saturday, May 4, 2019: Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

May 4, 2019 Brian J. Noggle

Friends, somehow this spring’s book sale sneaked up on me, so I only found an opportunity to visit it on half price day today. Which worked out all right for me, as I only spent thirty some dollars on records. Which is 61 LPs, double-albums, and boxed sets. I got: Asilos de Abandonados Miguel Aceves […]

Good Album Hunting, February 18, 2019: Relics Antique Mall

February 20, 2019February 19, 2019 Brian J. Noggle

Because President’s Day was a holiday for only some of us, I took the boys out for the day so my beautiful wife could work in peace. We went bowling and to the (relatively) new Wonders of Wildlife museum and aquarium where I basically paid $50 to see a museum of things I try not […]

Good Album Hunting, November 30, 2018: “Christmas Shopping” at Relics Antique Mall

December 1, 2018November 30, 2018 Brian J. Noggle

On Friday afternoon, I led my reluctant boys out “Christmas shopping” to Relics Antique Mall mostly to get them out of my beautiful wife’s hair as she finished her work day. Not surprisingly, this led to little actual Christmas shopping and a whole lot of record browsing. Which leads me to my first lamentation: The […]

Good Album Hunting, May 9, 2018: Ozarks Treasures Antique Mall

May 10, 2018May 10, 2018 Brian J. Noggle

I had a couple of minutes to kill before picking my children up from school yesterday, and instead of going to Hooked on Books and spending a couple minutes browsing the dollar books, I went to a nearby antique mall to browse. Which led to buying some records, and often for more than a dollar […]

Good Album Hunting, April 25, 2018: Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

April 27, 2018 Brian J. Noggle

Friends, I hit the Friends of the Library Book Sale on the first day it opened this year within fifteen minutes of the big bell ringing. Except they don’t have a big bell. It was busy, but not packed, and I made my way to the record section in the back, as is my wont. […]

Good Album Hunting, Friday, April 28, 2017: Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

May 1, 2017 Brian J. Noggle

I did manage to drag myself up to the Ozark Empire Fair Grounds on Friday morning to peruse the dollar album selection. However, there wasn’t much to choose from. I don’t know if they’re running out of album donors or if the collection had been cherry-picked in the first couple of days by dealers who’ll […]

Good Album Hunting, April 10, 2017: The DAV Thrift Store

April 11, 2017 Brian J. Noggle

Yesterday, I had a couple of minutes to kill, so I ducked into the Disabled American Veterans thrift store to browse the albums therein. A warm-up, perhaps, for the Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library book sale later this month which will also feature a large number of albums for a buck each. At the […]

Good Album Hunting: “Christmas Shopping,” December 16-17, 2016

December 18, 2016 Brian J. Noggle

I needed a hard rock or heavy metal LP for a Christmas gift, so on Friday and Saturday, I hit the antique malls and thrift stores to find one. It’s funny, but when I’m not looking for heavy metal LPs (which is most of the time, as I don’t tend to listen to hard rock […]

Good Album Hunting, October 15, 2016: Thrift Stores

November 17, 2016January 8, 2021 Brian J. Noggle

On Tuesday, one of my children called from school to indicate that he was not feeling well. Whenever I pick up a child sick from school with a questionable ailment, I like to take him somewhere that he doesn’t like to go to celebrate the partial day off school: namely, thrift stores and antique malls. […]

Good Album Hunting, October 28-29, 2016: The Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

October 30, 2016 Brian J. Noggle

Heh, heh, heh. Did I say that the Clever book sale might be the only one we hit this autumn? Yeah, I recant that testimony. On both Friday and Saturday, circumstances led me and one or more of my children to the northern reaches of Springfield (almost south Bolivar, really) where the Friends of the […]

Good Album Hunting April 28, 2016: Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

April 30, 2016 Brian J. Noggle

The Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library moved the semiannual book sale from a location about fifteen minutes from me to a location about forty-five minutes away, plus or minus fifteen minutes with traffic. So I’m only going once this year, and I made a beeline to the record albums. I knew I was going […]

Good Album Hunting: Red Racks Thrift Store, December 27, 2015

January 3, 2016 Brian J. Noggle

When last we left my Quest for the Metal Queen, I foolishly left behind an awesome looking 80s metal record at Relics Antique Mall. And I vowed to return for it. The next day was a Sunday, and I couldn’t remember when Relics opened. I have an hour between 9:30 and 10:30 where the children […]

Good Album Hunting: Relics Antique Mall, December 26, 2015

January 2, 2016January 2, 2016 Brian J. Noggle

One of my Christmas presents was a gift certificate (well, two) for Relics Antique Mall. Which meant I could get something old and/or nice and/or overpriced (like common Atari 2600 cartridges for $8 each, although someday that will be a bargain). So, of course, I got records. I got: Eydie Gorme, Let the Good Times […]

Good Album Hunting: Vintage Stock, Mid-December

December 31, 2015 Brian J. Noggle

In the middle of December, we hit the local Vintage Stock, which sells old comic book, video games, movies, and, I discovered, LPs, to see if they had a Game Boy Advance Legend of Zelda game. They did not, but did I mention they have LPs, many as low as a dollar each? So I […]

Good Book Album Media Hunting, Saturday, September 16, 2023: Friends of the Springfield-Greene County Library Book Sale

September 17, 2023 Brian J. Noggle

Well, gentle reader, as with the last few sales, I was not sure whether I would schlep all the way to the other side of town to buy records and books that would, maybe, barely fit onto my existing shelves. I asked my beautiful wife Friday night if she would like to go, and she […]

Good Album Stuff Hunting, June 26, 2020: Relics Antique Mall

June 27, 2020June 26, 2020 Brian J. Noggle

Sorry to continue with the conspicuous consumption that is the hallmark of these pages, but after we got back on Wednesday night from our trip to Branson, I went looking for my most recent annual pass to the Wilson’s Creek National Battlefield to see if I needed to get one before my boys and I […]

Good Book / Album Hunting, December 15, 2018: “Christmas Shopping”

December 15, 2018January 3, 2019 Brian J. Noggle

I had a couple of hours to myself this afternoon as my children and my beautiful wife prepared for the Sunday School Christmas Program tomorrow. So I went and did a little bit of Christmas shopping which brought me to ABC Books and Relics Antique Mall, where I found a little something for myself as […]
