Edit: I had a looky-loo on the way to work, it's really happening!

Good golly it was dark for a long time this morning. Did sunrise get pushed back about half an hour within a few days or something?

very pleased that not every record store here looks at discogs and goes “oooh we can follow that ridiculously optimistic price that some clown in Milwaukee thinks he can ask for this, regardless of the condition of this particular record”.
