Speaking of records, does anyone out there collect FM records? Do you play them or frame them or what? I got a bunch of FM records for only $15 today and I think I am going to frame them, but the frames are soooooooo expensive! Anyway, where is the best place to look for these old records? Flea markets? Garage sales? Pawn shops? I just purchased all the good quality records from that store, so I don't know where to look next. I think it is the only record store in town, so... I don't like to order this kind of stuff online because I really want to be able to look at it first and it is more fun to search for them anyway.
Any ideas?

Well, I got my copy of BN from my mom and dad, it was originaly theirs. I've seen it in a lot of local record shops though... and at the one it was only five dollars. I've lucked out and found a lot of my FM records at local record store, and I was shocked to find some rarer solo stuff, like Mick's and Danny Kirwan's solo albums, all at a reasonable price. In one visit I bought both of Christine's solo albums and a few No Doubt records for under $20. And Christy's right about Half Price books, you have to look through them very carefully, but in general you find a lot of good stuff. I got all of my Blondie records there, most of them were sealed. As far as thrisft stores, I'm not too fond of them for records... The only thing you're guaranteed to find is like five copies of Rumours, all in mediocre condition. As far as framing goes, I don't frame mine, I put them in record sleeves and I put poster mounts on the sleeves and hang them up. So, I'd stick to record shops, Half Price Books, eBay, etc.
Btw, as far as 45's go, if you go to a record store that sells them, you can sometimes just buy the picture sleeve, if that's what you're more into collecting
