Having spent 16 years working in record stores in the '70s and '80s, I know all about cutout bins and how certain high-profile labels (RSO, Casablanca) had lots of LPs by big-name artists in those cutout bins. Let's just say it was an interesting time in the record business. Best of luck with the new column!

yessir! this is a great feature. i sort of miss cutout bins. i mean, you can find them but it's tough. used record stores are still very fun to poke around in. Tommy Tedesco...man, he played on tons of records. they used to call him the "most-recorded" guitarist, or something like that.

Nice feature. Reminds me of my crate-digging, dollar-vinyl-finding days (I'm actually paring down my vinyl collection now). One time I found a $1 LP by Tommy Tedesco, the session guitarist who played on the Monkees' "Valleri" (or so I've heard)! --trendinista (Jim D)
