I know I have this album cover, but I bought it a long time ago to discover it had a different SM&#038;B66 album in it.  I might have already bought another copy with the right platter.

I could have had it for fifty cents were I but patient!  But you never know what you will find today or tomorrow while hunting, so it&#8217;s best to buy it when you see it if it&#8217;s not too expensive.  Note that I did not buy a third copy; this isn&#8217;t Herb Alpert&#8217;s <em>Whipped Cream and Other Delights<\/em> of which I have three or four copies.  I&#8217;ve stopped buying all of them that I see as the early Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass albums&#8211;<em>The Lonely Bull<\/em>, <em>Going Places<\/em>, <em>South of the Border<\/em>, <em>What Now My Love<\/em>, and <em>Whipped Cream and Other Delights<\/em> are still fairly common at book sales.  And they will be, undoubtedly, until I need to replace one.<\/p>\n<p>So for $24, I got a bunch of Perry Como along with a lot of late 70s and early 80s pop, jazz, and country.<\/p>\n<p>Did I get any books, you ask?  I&#8217;ll answer tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, two things:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Given that I do not spend as much time in my parlor or kitchen these days, it will take me a long time to listen to all these records;<\/li>\n<li>I don&#8217;t actually have room for these in the record shelves that I made last year, so I&#8217;ll have to make another set of them sometime soon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>First world problems, I know.  But if I don&#8217;t hoard, how will my children sell enough things for a quarter each at my estate sale to amount to anything?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, my friends, I have bought my first LPs in what seems like a long time.
