for the record, fellow efd fans: i bought a record from efd's table and it was my only purchase during the record fair. including food! i didn't eat at all! i look so svelte/bloated.

True that Stevel. I like to modify that old Erasmus quote and use it to explain my record obsession to people. "When I get a little money I buy records; and if any is left I buy food and clothes."

I was recently in the Bay Area too... the 1-2 dollar bins @ Amoeba, especially their Berkeley store, are so full of interesting stuff... I can't tell you how many things I passed on (because I had so much already) that I would have instantly grabbed if I saw 'em anywhere near the same price in NY!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:53pm

it's true Rob, I always feel like I find a lot more when I'm shopping outside of the NYC area... maybe it's a space/rent thing

BB - Angry Mom Records! Yes! Got "Two Virgins" and "The Great Lost Kinks Record" there. They were not $1.
Avatar 10:00pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

Yay!!! I'm so glad someone else here has been to Angry Mom. I go there whenever I have the time and money. When I first started going to school up here they had a pretty extensive "weird" section but I've pretty much picked it clean...like an entire record of different laugh tracks (terrifying!)
Avatar The Evan "Funk" Davies Show Hellraiser 2024 Swag For Life Member 10:03pm

@Bronwyn - I think DJ MAC played an hour of laugh tracks on an April 1 show a couple of years ago.
Avatar 10:06pm
Bronwyn Bishop:

DJ MAC gets me.
  10:06pm
Nate Dogg:

Angry Mom's was quite popular in the Art Department. I don't remember the weird section, "haha," I was probably buying Beach Boy records...yeah I miss that store. That store, the $5 burritos at Viva, the antique places, and the swimming. My god, the swimming.

so hard to pick a favorite, but if somebody held a gun to my head I think I'd have to go with this "You Could've Been A Lady."

does the double cd have enough more than the original record (american)that it's still recommended over the every 1's a winner album? (for someone who had a good-shape copy of the former?)

Wow, never heard this...better than April Wine. Anyone besides me remember Earthquake's version of "Emma"?

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:58pm

oh man, now I remember that Todd! I have that album!

coelacanth, personally I'd recommend the 2CD Cicero Park CD over the Every 1's reissue. A lot of extra tracks, only one or two dupes (couple of single versions of LP tracks, I think)
