I picked up Steely Dan, Poco, Christopher Cross, Supertramp, Wings, Fleetwood Mac, Heart and Gordon Lightfoot. I think it was fourteen albums in all. (The rest was a bunch of Disco crap and '70s country.)

The condition of the albums is what got me. Nearly perfect. She said her Dad would buy albums, record them onto "the big reel tape thingy" and file them away. Played only once.
She also said he had a lot more rock, but her brother kept those.

Back a few months ago I was at a house buying some amplifiers and asked if there were any records? Bought a box of at least a hundred Punk albums, I mean stuff like the Sex Pistols, The Cure, some I never heard of. She was a punker from way back. A real Siouxsie and the Banshees back in the day, for the pictures she shown me!


Ahhhh, Susan!
