Flashback: 1985

I was a kid, into music and my parents subscribed to one of those music club things where you get a bunch of cassettes or vinyl for what was it? 1 cent each or something? Whatever, anyway, Beverly Hills Cop was the shit at the time so I ordered the soundtrack on vinyl. Here's the cover:

That's not the original record I had, but anyway over the years the record got lost from moving and all that.

Flash Forward: 2010

I'm digging somewhere downtown Montreal and I see the Beverly Hills Cop soundtrack in the cheap bin for $1 so I grab it because it was dope and I wanted to have it again. I bring it home and play it and then put it away, not paying much attention to it.

Flash Forwarder: 2012

I'm chilling one night and I just happen to sift through my vinyl and see the soundtrack, so I pull it out. I'm checking out the cover art, looking at it all chill and then I notice some writing on the lower left corner (you can't read it but here's a pic anyway):

That's when I almost fell off my chair - it's MY FUCKING NAME. I then remembered that when I was a kid and had the vinyl record that I had signed my name with a black marker on the cover and it's the SAME RECORD I BOUGHT IN THE CHEAP BIN!!!!!! I'm like WTF this is insane.

What are the odds? Sure, it's the same city, but what are the odds that in 1985 I buy the Beverly Hills Soundtrack, lose it over the years (early 90's) then basically 20 years later I buy my own record for $1 at some random record store?

This is fucking epic. Anyway, this is a story I can now tell little kids later on in life as they all gather around me to hear tales of lost and recovered vinyl treasures of yesteryear.
