04.06.08 Asbury Lanes Record Show Recap

Another Asbury Lanes Record Sale and Garage Sale has come and gone. Although the vendor numbers were a little down, the quality of vinyl wasn’t, and with about 3 new vendors who kept the diggers in the Lanes, the show itself turned out to be a really fun time. Allan from Soul Spectrum made the trek from Brooklyn to sell, and let me just say he had a really great stash of stuff. I spent most of my time digging through his records. What was interesting today is that not only were there new Funk and Soul diggers (as well as vendors), but a good representation from vinyl collectors who were buying the Rock, Psych, Punk, and Classic stuff people had to offer. I didn’t see a tremendous amount of Jazz, but Larry from Funky 16 Corners had a good amount of assorted heat up for grabs. The Snack World Inferno served up some killer breakfast burritos (Thanks Laura), and Pete Pederson was slangin’ drinks, the best Bloody Marys around, when he was not buying bad 80’s and white boy Beastie Boy wannabe Hip Hop 12″s. We’re gonna do this again in about a month or so, so if anyone else would like to sell, it’s fairly cheap at $20 a table. It’s not limited to vinyl, and there is always a spot for a table. You can contact me at the e mail address to the right. All in all it was a great day, despite the shitty weather. I know I scored some excellent vinyl, mostly Lps, all of which will be reviewed on this site in the near future. Here’s a list of the records scores:
