Library Record digging stories
« on: July 08, 2025, 07:43:53 AM »
Love hearing people's stories about finding library records, whether that be from store basements, flea markets, offices, dumpsters, garages, etc. Please share your best finds and tales. Linking to existing posts/blogs that talk about this is encouraged.

For a year or so in the early 80s I worked at a video-facilities/ production-house in London's Soho. Lunchtimes were often spent digging in local charity shops and second hand record stores. They were a fruitful hunting ground for library records, since the area was full of media-related companies. I recall buying around half a dozen Peer International releases. Each cost 25p. Bargain! :-)
