Lots of my old records happen to be mint. They wouldn't pass muster in Discogs/Record Collector as capital-M Mint, but have never been played, nor even taken out of the sleeve. Like this from 1975. Remaindered, corner cut off, but a needle has never visited its grooves. Till now. 
It's such a strange and magical feeling to put the needle onto an old, but unplayed record. A record that was intended for the ears and homes and lives of 1975's people, not 2020's. It's like Carter & Carnarvon opening up the tomb. But without the cultural theft. #wonderfulthings
"Sad Sweet Dreamer" was written by David Parton, whose own album Snaps has quite the startling song title hiding away in its track listing. Can't find it on YouTube, Spotify or any lyrics sites, but the mind does boggle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Par…
