:-D Thanks! That was truly strange. I already had the box set o' course so when I saw the singles comp I was deeply pleased.
i wonder how much you could make if you sold all that via amazon or whatever.
Oh, god knows. But as AKM sez above the market's likely pretty depressed now.

Anyway, in the true spirit of dorkiness, I've decided to note the discs on your list that I got at the clearance as well.
Mixed With Love: The Walter Gibbons Salsoul AnthologyBill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall (I probably jumped too soon from a financial standpoint, but it was cheap to start with, and I've been wanting it for quite a while.)Jesu s/tCeltic Frost MonotheistMission of Burma The Obliterati (I'm glad I didn't get it when it came out: it's a real improvement on OnOffOn)Arthur Russell First Thought, Best ThoughtCoachwhips Double Death...and The World of Arthur Russell...The Knife Silent Shout

I gotta be honest, I was keeping this running list elsewhere in part just to remind myself what the hell I got so I can listen to it all!

Not at all, even! I'm going to be especially interested because that's Geeta Dayal's entry for the upcoming Marooned anthology so it'll be a pleasure to hear it before I read her essay.

i will not particularly miss tower - amazon's zshops + half.com sort of made it irrelevant for me - but i will miss their clearance bin.

A sentiment said elsewhere! But by the same token what people read/watch/hear in general is never going to conform to an exact model, after all -- expectations never match reality. That's a good thing, though, it means a wider range of individual perspectives.

Hot Chip - The WarningBeta Band - Heroes to ZeroesKnife - Silent Shout (they must have like a zillion copies of this)Durutti Column - Return of (the reissue with the bonus tracks)
I couldn't believe that even at 70% off, the Booka Shade and Isolee albums were still like $10. I probably should've picked them up, but when you compare to $5 a piece, seems high.

Jazz very picked over but I got Vijay Iyer - Raw Materials and the Subjazz Proxy disk (there were still at least 20 copies of this one).
Dance still had a couple hundred, and I got the Optimo Psyche Out, Karsh Kale, and a Zuco 103. They had one of the Lindstrom & Prins Thomas disks that I bought at 80% off, so I put it in front and it was gone by the time I left. Forgot to check for Ellen Allien, who had half a dozen there Monday. Found a Dizzee Rascal "Off 2 Work" in the singles, and in the main Rock/Pop got the Sadies, Walkmen, Vacation, John Cooper Clarke, Peter Perret EP, Mice Parade EP, Bailter Space, John Greaves, and finally Malcolm Mooney from 1998 with "Father Cannot Yell" on it. Never knew he did anything after Can, but it's worth $1.70 to check out. Also noticed one last Matt Friedberger, which I had bought at 60% off last week.

my favorite/strangest find was the alan braxe and fred falke cd single for "rubicon" with sticker for $2.

Is Friday the last for West 66th NYC store as well as West 4th? I'm thinking something salvageable might be uptown.
