This is the way to do it! Don't collect records to have a collection, collect records so that you can enjoy them. Half the fun is looking and talking about the records themselves.

If someone gave me $100 and said "go get some records" I'd come home with a shit load of the weirdest covers and comedy records I could find.

Seriously, I know you probably want suggestions, but in my humble opinion that will ruin your experience entirely. Just go and hang out, dig underneath the shelves if you are allowed.

I don't usually buy records unless they are $5 or under, exceptions are made of course, but for the most part, I've found some great stuff ( George Harrison's "All things Must Pass" - $7 Wikipedia)

Okay fine I'll make a suggestion or two, don't hate me for it if you don't like em!
