#these conventions are often the best place to find hard-to-get/quality prog rock records ✨

[go-go-devil]

Nothing like going to a record convention to kick off the new year, and holy hell did I have a successful hunt! In fact, this may very well be the BEST haul I've ever taken home in my history of vinyl hunting!

So many records that I'd been waiting literal years to find out in the wild were all found during my first 20 minutes at the place: Acquiring the Taste, Pawn Hearts, In Camera, Spirit of Eden, and even a reasonably priced copy of Wish You Were Here! About damn time too, it was painful going so long without the LAST Pink Floyd album I needed in my collection T_T

I even stumbled upon some rare, unexpected finds. I've known about Sally Oldfield's Water Bearer for close to a decade yet this is the first time I've ever seen anyone carry her. Same with the Gong and Steve Hillage record and especially Art Bears. As for the Stevie Wonder album, I grabbed it because it has "Higher Ground" which is one of my favorite songs of his, but I'm actually not familiar with the full record and am excited to check it out!
