Finds at the Record Fair vol 1

The 7th annual Record Fair and Other Delights was a resounding success!

We had record attendance and I heard from many dealers that they had some of their best single day sales.

Although it took me a bit to get my record players back up and running (after lending them for use by our many fine performers over the weekend) I finally got a chance to sit down and look at what I managed to find over the two days of record collector bliss.

Of course i’m still sorting through and listening to everything, but here’s what I ended up buying:

Novelty LP’s (Halloween, Christmas, Oddity)

Have a Lousy Xmas with the Space Negros, The Jethros, Magic Mose and His Royal Rockers (Jingle Jungle)

Milo & The Kings – Chrismas in the Virgin Islands (Ditanfra Records) **Calypso Chrismas!

Prince – I Would Die 4 You b/w Another Lonely Christmas (Warner)

Cut Master D.C. The Night before Christmas b/w Brooklyn’s in the House (Zakia Records)

Other LP’s

Digital Underground – Doowutchtalike & Packet Man 12” (Tommy Boy) *With AMAZING poster

Don Wyrtzen – What’s It All About Anyhow? (Now Sound/ LPS-670)
