I'm near Rio Nuevo and the streets are wet with the tears
of heartbroken locals

[SLASH]

any of you old tucson guys ever been to twist and shout on the east side? ever find anything good? i got a surfin bird single there for a dollar once, i only went there a couple times. what are the best records you've found at your local stores?

[tango fistula]

Bookman's is usually a good place to score something good...

Twist and Shout is worth checkin out...nice guys....

Zia's seemed to be buying collections...cuz I got good stuff there recently

[Mark Beef]

I'm not sure what being old has to do with twist and shout records, place is alright but definitely more for the Beatles collector than some kbd/weirdpunk type...I highly doubt you'd ever find a Neos or Mike Rep record there. Not terrible for major label wants

Bookman's has been better the past couple years but it still hasn't matched PDQ's trove

pretty much anything you could want for $3 tops...not joking...some other people on here can testify and they came in late to the game there


and duh with my first comment...now I totally understand what old has to do with twist and shout

PDQ has an Okmonjks 7" for 50 bucks!

the real pdq scores came from working there (not really).  i did find some good stuff, though.

the bookman's on campbell / grant was the only place where i regularly turned stuff up in the three years before i moved outta there again. 

...then there was the time i found an injections 45 in some lady's apt. and bought it for $5.

she was enjoying an eegee's and vodka before 11am.  anything could've happened.

hahaha i remember seeing this, i wonder if it's still there!

[uggly]

that was priced and put on display by a member of the band.

i'm 100% positive that the current owners (and mebbe some germans) believe that to be its true value.

by the time you came on the scene I know this is true....before your (or Fells members) days there was a plethora of now high dollar items  there

Dicks/Minor Threat/Misfits singles

I don't think these are turning up at Bookman's

[uggly]

i was 17 when i moved to tucson in 1993--there's only so much i could do.  i think the fells' guys are closer to donnie's age than yours, beefie. 

i found anti-cimex and vast majority 45s at bookman's, between 2005-2009, for .50 each.  do they count? 

minor threat, negative approach, necros, dangerhouse and black flag rarities came from the 'q.

haha germans!

[Mark Beef]

i know, i know, tony....really I'm not disparaging anyone

just saying before you or jeff or heath were ever going to PDQ there was a shitload of collectorscum crap in that bitch..... hell I got anti cimex 7"s out of there autographed with weird insert shit (metallic print promo photos) AFTER you guys had left town

me and donn aren't that far apart in age so I'm not really sure what that has to do with anything....I'm not sure if I look younger or older now

[uggly]

nah, i didn't take it that way.  s'cool.

heath's nearly ten years older than i am and i know he'd been going to pdq since the store's earliest days.  heath and jeff had some impressive stashes in a pre-internet world.

i thought donnie was closer to that age range (no offense, donn--you look good, man!), whereas you're only a few years older than me (34).
