Pacific Northwest Record Hunt, Part 3: The Sonics, Ultimate Spinach and More

Part three of my Pacific Northwest record hunt, and this time it's two stores in one day. First stop was Crossroads Records in Portland, a booth store packed with dealers, where I spent a couple hours and walked out with a stack. Then I drove up to Rainy Day Records in Olympia for two more off the wall, including the cleanest copy of Here Are The Sonics I have ever held and an original first-press Mudhoney. Garage, psych, Northwest rock, a couple of grunge first pressings, a private-press oddity or two, and a few records I already owned and couldn't leave behind. Records in this video include Seagull, The Sonics, Don & The Goodtimes, Northwest Battle Of The Bands Vol. 3, Seattle Syndrome, Gas Huffer, Dead Moon, Ultimate Spinach, The Tormentors, Stack, The Yellow Payges, The New Tweedy Bros, Mudhoney, and Here Are The Sonics.
