2 Classic Iron Maiden records: Somewhere in Time and Piece of Mind
Found some super sketchy record shop in Seattle that I had never been to before. He had thousands and thousands of records that were all loosely categorized.
It was amazing how much stuff he had, but how little metal and punk stuff he had. Almost as if he made it a point to not get it.
He had 3 Maiden records in there that were in good shape but not priced. He wanted $7 each for the "single" records and $20 for the "double".. Live After Death.
I have no idea how he came up with his pricing scheme... I already have a copy of Live After Death and needed these 2. So, out of 30,000 records in this guys place, I was able to find 2 gems!

Sunn O))): Monoliths & Dimensions
One of the best packaging jobs from Southern Lord or from any other label that I have ever seen. Southern Lord does some amazing things with their releases, but this in particular is exceptional.
It is a dual 180g vinyl release in super heavy cardboard (tip on) gatefold sleeve with heavy vinyl sleeves, 2 page insert and screen printed vellum book cover.
The vellum goes over the outside of the gatefold packaging and since it is semi-transparent it shows the cover through the back. An amazing amount of thought went into this.
I am happy to have scored this in mint condition used, locally.
