Jerry's Records 2011 Giveaway - Part 1
Hi, Readers: Did you make it to Jerry's this weekend? If so, what did you buy and what was in your free box? I made it there twice, once on Saturday and once on Sunday. On Saturday, the store was packed and it was a party atmosphere. On Sunday morning, I walked down the hill at around 11 in the chilly morning drizzle to find Jerry himself sitting under a personal-sized tent, spinning 45s from his personal stash. Rarities and old favorites - a great mix, to be sure. Sitting in his Jerry's T-shirt, he didn't seem to be cold.
In this and upcoming blog posts, I'll be sharing some of the 'treasures' I discovered in the unmarked and sealed box of 100 LPs that was my share of the 33,000 records Jerry and his crew gave away this past weekend. Guinness, this must be some kind of a record!
My box revealed a load of records that I don't know WHAT do with - any fans of Hungarian dance music out there, I have your records! - and some strange discoveries. For example, the record pictured above was in my box, Jonathan King's 1967 release 'Or Then Again...' King is the guy who discovered and recorded Genesis for the first time as well as other bands like 10CC. He had a hit with a song included on this record called 'Everyone's Gone to the Moon' from 1965...
hey, I want to know what else did you get on your mystery box!
it's an amazing thing what those folks did. sadly it will never happen down here (i'm from argentina) where people thinks that because it's a vinyl record, it instantly has an added value (I mean, it has an added value, but if the record is rubbish, it doesn't has a monetary added value to it)
well, excuse me for my stoneage english!
nice blog, bye!
