Death of a Fan (time to be happy)

Inspired by a quick search in a pile of 12" at a crummy second hand record store, during which I found A.R. Kane's "69", "i", "When You're Sad", "Lolita", "Love-Sick" & "Listen Up" - all in mint condition, just when I wanted to move on from AR Kane mpegs.

This thread is mainly to say how happy I am to have this find, but also for people to mention when they huge stockpiles of artist (most likely resulting from a single fan clearing their collection) just as you were getting into them.

I got two 23 Skidoo records in pretty quick succession once. I think the same guy sold Mission of Burma's 'Vs' too. Thanks, man.

you can always tell when you go to a smaller used record/cd store when someone needs or money or given up, the common thread connect what they have given up as you browse through it in the new arrivals. kind of sad.
