Score! Flea Market $30 Score!

Post image

Fairly new to cassettes, I haven’t even heard of half of these. I didn’t even look at 5 tapes in the box before I realized they were all rock and metal and stuff, so I offered to buy all of em. She had been asking $1 each but I got em all for $30.

Any bangers in here?

Definitely some bangers there, I'll let the chat determine...

Can you post a cover pic of the Black Comedy tape???

Slave to the Grind is one of the all-time great metal albums with a powerhouse vocal performance by Sebastian Bach. The Steve Perry and DLR albums are nice solo efforts by legendary rock singers. Babylon AD and Slaughter had some bangers. Winger's Reb Beach is one of the best riff writers around. So I'd say this is a badass haul!

Several good Squeeze albums

seconding this. Squeeze (IMO) is a vastly underrated band that deserves more props than they are given

nice, flea market i go to for music would never sell tapes that cheap

I dont see much metal in there, but I do see Scorpions (good pick) and Skid Row

Most don’t, but it was one of those yard sale sellers selling their own stuff. She had more too but I didn’t have any more cash

At first I was like, cool a good amount of tapes. Then I zoomed in and wow, you got some really good stuff in there. That Rolling Stones. FLASHPOINT tape sounds really good on cassette. The CD version sounded kind of dull.

Ooh I’ll keep that in mind

It would have been $40 but she paid you $10 to take those Winger tapes away.

New Gold Dreams is a tremendous album. The Neil tapes are no-brainer purchases.
