Has this ever happened to you? You go to a store that usually doesn't have any discontinued items and then, voilà, you find a rarity!
I was in the CD store one day, and I spotted Jerry Goldsmith's MALICE. What is strange is that this store did not have much (if any) old/OOP items, and I see MAILCE? Well, anyway, today I went back to the store for the first time since then, and then I look and see this thing is only $3.99! I didn't care if I hadn't seen or might not even like it. It's a Jerry Goldsmith score and, for $3.99, was worthy of being in my collection. It wasn't until later that I found out the score wasn't that bad. I may get to like it a lot more as time goes on.

I visited a store in a mayor Danish town. Normally their prices are high, but in their bargain bin I found the rare title "Thunderbirds are Go!" by Barry Gray for just $ 2.50 plus some Varese titles for just 6 each.

A few years ago, in a store not noted for its soundtracks (and where I'd bought only one other CD), I found a copy of Basil Poledouris's Varese CD Club release of CHERRY 2000 for $5.99.

Bargin's glore! Man, I definetly cannot top that Cherry 2000. Now that's what I call being at the right place, at the right time. Anyhow, I found a copy of Accidental Tourist for 2.99 once. I also found Academy promos of My Best Friend's Wedding, Bringing Out the Dead, Good Will Hunting, Nutty Professor 2, What Women Want and All the Pretty Horses all for 5.00.
Just lucky I guess!

Alright ... you've all found these cds for such low prices ... now, what about thinking of the other collector. I say this because, my intentions were to post today just what happened to me yesterday (something I've been meaning to do for the last several years and never have) to inform collectors of this store and ask, if any of you, who are looking for items, would like for me to keep my eyes open for you.
How cheap is this store? And this is the truth. I was in Footlight several years ago, struck up a conversation with a person next to me. We discussed soundtracks and where we lived. The person said: "If you are from Maryland, then you know of Joe's Record Paradise?" I do indeed, I told him I go every Sunday. He said: "I come up from South America once a year..." He went on to say he stops at Joe's and a store in Pennsylvania, before going to Footlight in New York. Now there is a serious collector.
Joe's prices are so damn great, I'm spoiled. I now refuse to pay $10.00 or more for cds. I go in, head for the soundtrack section and there is: Minority Report ($8.00), Victor Victoria expanded ($7.00) and Yankee Doodle Dandy expanded ($7.00). Since they know me, they dropped $1.00 off Minority and Victor.
So, since you come across these things, let me know what's there. I will in the future let you know.
Gunnar? How fortunate you are, to be in a place that offers Cleo for $7.50. There was a place in Virginia like that. A lot of their soundtracks were $5-8. Unfortunately, they closed last January.

Melvin,
If I only knew in my Dennis days at Dayton's what I know now!! Man, did I OVERPAY in those days...But, I'll still bust Dennis' chops about that! But I wont trade those memories of free flow cash for anything in the world! Me: "Ahh, how much for the mono copy, Dennis" Dennis: "Oooookkaaay, let, meee seee, hummm, stereo,good condition, ummm, that's 45 dollaaas"!! (All the while those glasses resting on the bridge of his nose while he perused that "little black book" of his!)

Hey Melvin, I think so, too! Unfortunately, it is a rather small shop with a tiny, tiny soundtrack section, but they are always good for surprises. I hadn't seen "Nixon" in years, and there it was, also for about $ 7.50. Is "Arachnophobia" any good? I think I saw it there, too. Anyway, I kept promise to myself and bought Cleopatra today. Still haven't had the time to listen to it in full, though

ANZALDIMAN:
You are correct sir... "Oooookkaaay, let, meee seee, hummm, stereo,good condition, ummm, that's 45 dollaaas"!! Now, that brings back a memory of the last days of Dayton's. Dennis, no doubt knew they were going under. Every lp I picked up to inquire about, Dennis said: "That one's twenty dollars." Talk about over paying.
Gunnar? Sorry to admit this, but I do not recall any music from "Arachnophobia." Cleopatra, wait until you hear that. One cue which springs to mind is: Disc 2 - cue 18 - Grant me an honorable way to die. Those trumpets squealing in agony, Mark Antony's frustrating last stand.

Melvin!
You don't say whether Joe's does mail-order, what their phone number is, and whether they have a web-site.
