Reflecting on the Sale…

The sale’s over. Next sale Begins Saturday, Dec 13. Just thought we’d toss out a few images before we get back to cataloging and caring for the world’s largest popular music collection.

What can you do with those antique round sound thingies? Hey, they’re shinny and work really well as reflectors on the streets on New York.  Ask Lester.

More importantly, who shops at the ARC sale?  Well for one, sophisticated ladies in tropical skirts – here’s a shot from our opening night party…

Don’t forget to donate new, used and unwanted recordings in any format to the library. We compare all donations to the existing collection (2 million recordings) and only sell things when they are THIRD copies.

So see you in December. We’ll still be under the spell of those worthless Bush dollars, so Euroshoppers come on down!

One nice thing about the ARC sale is the new friends we meet who come in to shop. Our latest pal’o'pals is Joel who runs one of the nicest little record shops left in Manhattan, Tropicalia In Furs. Joel shopped at the ARC sale and we traded a bit. What we got is listed below. You may notice from the list that Tropicalia is a Brazilan store, but there is a lot of hot soul and rarities. Most on the list belore are pretty hard to get in such good condition. So visit his shop (304 East 5th St, NYC – 212-982-3251) and don’t forget to shop at our sale on this the last weekend. We’re @ 54 White St., NYC, this Sat + Sun, 11am – 6pm.

Musi Cali

Here are some nice music images from California for all our dedicated disc bloganatii…

The ORIGINAL music makin’ Madonna, namesake for the Madonna Inn, US Highway 1, coastal CA.

A modern madonna from the conjunto band, Jose Luis Ruelas y Sus Rivales del Norte, entertains at lunch at the Capitol Flea Market in San Jose.

Shot off the big screen at the renovated and delux Stanford movie theater, where ARSC members were treated to an assortment of early sound Vitaphone releases, this one of “Guido Diero, World”s Foremost Piano-Accordionist,” from 1928. And according to http://www.guidodeiro.com/vitaphone.html, he is the first accordionist ever to appear in a sound film. Check out the Vitaphone project just for fun, http://www.picking.com/vitaphone53.html.
