Since I just repaired our turntable I’ve been going to record stores to expand our collection. So far Princeton Record Exchange (PRX) in Princeton, NJ and Generation Records here in New York have been my favorites. PRX is well worth the trip if you’re starting a collection because they have so many classics for under $10 and Generation has a great budget jazz section and some unique stuff on the walls.
In some cases, I’ve taken a chance and bought great music and at other times just took photos of odd and interesting covers that I didn’t buy. Here are some photos from the last few weeks:
Liam Gallagher picture disc Too many records and didn’t want to chance this Jethro Tull album. Next time. Had to get a Springsteen album to commemorate our weekend in New Jersey Ian and Sylvia are a famous Canadian folk duo. Great recording. We had our family reunion in Ste Anne de Beaupre 20 years ago and visited this cathedral This looks like Quinn’s mom but it’s actually his aunt The Bells, no relation Butts Band, haha! Abbey Road-esque Just like this guy’s facial expression and the colors The Rutles, Beatles impersonators Generation Records had this cool Japanese Blondie album on the wall No comment I no suppose these guys are from Washington, DC Warhol-esque All the way from Mexico Sgt Pepper-style I married a gringa! Coleman Hawkins ‘88 USSR re-pressing
