If you are just starting out, look for albums that you know. If your copy of, say, Peter Frampton’s Frampton Comes Alive! is pretty beat up, you should be able to find a near-mint replacement for around $5, even though it is a two-album set. If Rod Stewart is a favorite of yours, try to find an album that includes one or more of your favorite hit songs; chances are you will like the rest of the album also.
