As I did last week when I found myself in the same neck of the woods, I figured I’d hit a single GR thrift store before I headed to K-Zoo. So I busted out the trusty Google Maps to figure out what was closest or most convienent – I’ve essentially been to them all already. Or had I?
The second hit in the list was St. V’s right here I town. That did not kindle a memory so I checked my blog. And I’ll be damned – I hadn’t been there before! So I headed over and after some peeking around corners, I found a huge rack of vinyl!
The heat was sweltering in there but I got to work. Tons of polka – I kept thinking that there had to be at least one Eddie B. record in there and alas there was – grabbed it instantly! Shortly thereafter, I found a barbershop compilation which seems to be listed on ebay every day but which I do not own. Better yet, it was the original pressing on Decca, and in mono. Score!
I found another Bel-Aire record as well and was tempted to buy it but figured I’d better draw the line so I did a catch and release.
