Hooray! Finally! I got a Velvet Underground 8-track! I won , I won, I won! I'm not being at all thrifty here at the beginning of Boston Thriftblog, alas. I paid perhaps the most I've ever paid for an 8-track - $24.40 including shipping. Oy! But wait'll you see how much rationalizing I can do. I mean I'm really good at it.

First, I've been collecting 8-tracks for at least nine years and I've never stumbled onto any affordable Velvet Underground.

Second, I bought 108 8-tracks on ebay all told (this month) for a total of $95 so by that logic they were less than a dollar each even including the vaunted VU. All right so most of them are probably easy -listening schlock and even duplicate ones I already have. Whaddaya want from me?
As they come in I shall log them here for anyone's entertainment. if there's anyone out the who is amused by such ramblings email me.
