Appleton Import Records (Revisited)

I had stopped by this store a couple weeks prior but found it to be oddly locked up and closed during their published business hours.  I found myself back in town and decided to give it another try.  This time when I approached, the door was propped open so I was excited to get inside. […]

Lazy Dog Antiques, Roscoe Village

Two bins hidden in the bowels of this Roscoe Village store.  Nothing of interest.

RG estate sale

Spur of the moment estate sale Sunday AM yielded a Little River Band album and an Engelbert Christmas album which my girlfriend grabbed up moments before I could stick my mitts into the stack. Can’t believe I found this just a few doors away!

Goodwill [Appleton WI]

Smallest record selection I’ve ever seen at a Goodwill before.  Granted, others had more records but they were all junk – but I was shocked to see so few.  Nothing of interest.

I already have this record, albeit in beat down condition.  However, this is […]

Garage Sale, Franklin Park

Another great opportunity courtesy gsalr.com.  A sale in the neighborhood I grew up in and close to my alma mater (high school, specifically) I got there shortly after 8 to find an elderly woman relaxing in a lawn chair surrounded by her goods.  Initially I only saw a single crate and down onto my knees, […]

Reverberation Records, Normal IL

Found myself visiting Bloomington for work, something I’ve done a handful of times over the years.  My work did not take long and I knew I wasn’t going to get back by the normal ‘end of day’, so why not dilly dally a bit? Nothing better to do. A colleague had advised me on a […]
