Under a Stone: What I meant was that the owner of the shop gets to buy that used copy of "Deathcrush" on original vinyl for $3 and keep it for himself...
that's why you never see the good stuff on the shelves.
You just reminded me of the (possibly) most foolish thing I did this summer. I visited this killer metal/alternative music store in Gothenburg, and bought quite a lot of albums. I decided to check out the "Used vinyl and various stuff" section after I'd paid for them. I shouldn't have done that.
Having just spent all my money on the abovementioned CDs, I found quite a few "rarities" (understatement of the year), such as these:
Immortal - Destroying Vienna (Coloured vinyl, 500 copies)
Mayhem - Deathcrush Pic LP
Mayhem - Pure Fucking Armageddon
Deeds Of Flesh - Path Of The Weakening Pic LP
Darkthrone - Panzerfaust LP (with a different cover than the CD version)
Darkthrone - Goatlord Pic LP (didn't even know these existed)
Darkthrone - Soulside Journey LP
Darkthrone - A Blaze In The Northern Sky LP
Etc. Etc.
