More Dollar Records: Making Your Wishes Come True

This is the most unusual stash of records I've across at a thrift store:


Tom Waits, Blood Money.  This album is for those who wished for an album of tender love songs and sad ballads sung by a carnival barker.

Johnny Cash, American IV: When the Man Comes Around.  This album is for those who wished Johnny Cash cover Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode songs. Seriously.

Mudhoney, Mudslide (bootleg).  This album is for those who wished they got to hear Mudhoney live in a small venue in Berlin with a really bad sound system. Best moment of the album is their spoken intro, "Howdy, we're from America."

Skip James, Today (original Vanguard pressing).  This album is for those who wished for a folk-blues album sung by Robin Gibb.

Beck, A Harvest Field by Moonlight (10-inch EP, Fingerpaint Records).  This album is for those who wished Beck would out-Beck himself.
