Attended our local record collectors twice a year event today and managed to pick up the following albums:

Gloria Gaynor - Never Can Say Goodbye (Polydor - still sealed)
Brooklyn Dreams - Sleepless Nights (Birchmount - still sealed)
Brooklyn Dreams - Brooklyn Dreams (Millennium - still sealed)
Biddu Orchestra - Rain Forest (Columbia - still sealed)
Santa Esmeralda - House of The Rising Sun (Casablanca - still sealed)
Patrick Hernandez - Born To Be Alive (Aquarius - still sealed)
Madleen Kane - Rough Diamond (Warner Bros - still sealed) *all 7 for $17.50
The Supremes - The Supremes (Motown 1975) $1.00
Gonzalez - Shipwrecked (Capitol - still sealed) $1.00
Black Light Orchestra - This Time (RCA) $1.00
Atlantic Starr - Brilliance (A&M) $1.00
Eddie Drennon & BBS Unltd - Would You Dance To My Music (Casablanca) $10
Meco - Superman & Other Galactic Heroes (Quality) $2
Lou Rawls - All Things In Time (Philadelphia Intl) $2

All 14 for $35.50 CAD which I think is a pretty good deal. I think of all of those finds, I was most amazed that 8 of the 14 records were still sealed after all this time especially the Gloria Gaynor album, which means its been sealed for just about 35 years! Naturally the sealed records are in great shape, but even those that were opened all look like they've never been played, or rarely played. All in great condition.

Good for you Bob...I do love to find sealed records.
It is amazing that something that might not interest someone - turns out to be somebody else's treasured discovery.

Recently became aware of Eddie Drennon's Disco Jam when it was featured on the new Horse Meat Disco package. Still love to find Casablanca tracks I had forgotten or didn't know about.

This disco thing is still full of interest even after all these years !!!!

I used to find still-sealed disco LPs -- but rarely 12" singles -- all the time up until a few years ago. Then all the record stores started disappearing, and it's been slim pickings ever since.

Yeah, it really surprised me to find albums that are still sealed in the factory seal and that haven't been resealed by some dealer. Cool.
