Thanks for the shout out. I'm glad you were inspired to check out the Gil Evans collection...that Angelique Kidjo album is fire, also!
I love flipping through stacks at an excellent used store or one with a good bargain bin, but that's becoming something of a rarity for me these days. I try to hit local garage and estate sales on the regular during the summer months. Also libraries sometimes have sales of older physical media.
Otherwise I do searches and buy from combo good price/reliable/good selection sellers on eBay, discogs, or other places.

There is something sad and exciting about going into Goodwill and finding what was obviously a prize collection from an estate sale.
100%
I try and rationalize that by thinking that the person would want their records to find a good home.
I'm apparently not the only one!

Spoiler alert: That George Benson record is awesome.
No shit, it’s George Benson 😁
Fair point!
I dunno, maybe Benson recorded some stuff that's not awesome, but I haven't heard it.
Me either
I had it on cassette in high school, and hadn't heard it in decades.
