My husband Brian and I are freaks for Thrift Store record albums. We have spent hours upon hours rummaging through thousands of records your grandma gave away. We have travelled all the way from Miami Florida to Seattle Washington looking for space age pop, tiki exotica, cheesecake, or anything that blows our little minds.

Here are my top 10 favorite thrift store album finds. I mainly collect them for the album art. I frame them and hang them on the wall.

Esquivel Other Worlds Other Sounds
