First of all, a shout-out to CD Alley in Chapel Hill for putting up a Hubski sticker for us:

I can't point to a single best "find." But a record that I really love and have referenced often on Hubski is "Jim O'Rourke's" Eureka. I found it at Underground Sounds in Ann Arbor. Good stuff.

My dads best friend was a huge music fan and used to be a roadie for british punk bands in the 70s. He had a great collection of vinyl. He unfortunately died a few years back and I bought his collection from his estate. He had a great Beatles and T-Rex collection. That was a really nice addition to my collection though I'd have liked to have gotten it in a different way.

bgood79 -I'd be curious to hear your answer.

Reading about your daughter crawling for the first time to that music really made me tear up. I am so happy you get to have memories like that.

I also was an Underground Sounds customer a few years ago, they introduced me to my first Jimmy Cliff record along with a couple others. I distinctly remember a long time where there was this record with a hybrid man/cat with the title of "El Gato" I want to find that record just to see it again.

Holy smokes, I found that record I was talking about online!

The artist is Gato Barbieri
