Very cool seeing footage from the record show. I haven’t been to one in a couple of years. That’s a shame that not all the tables were set up yet.

Looked like a blast! I’ve still never been to a record show, I can only imagine the overwhelming temptation to spend so much money or just should I or shouldn’t I feeling the entire time. I give you all the credit for making out the way you did! Nicely done Steve!

Looks like fun, Steve. I saw you holding that Stones Some Girls LP. My older brother once had a first pressing of that with the original art, Rachel Welch and other famous personalities.

Really enjoy the video my friend, Looks like you guys had a great time.

That Was Not Was album is a good one. Those over-stuffed boxes at record fairs do my head in too. 👍🏻

So happy you grabbed that Urban Guerrillas album. When I saw that one in the bin I almost fell over. I'm from Minneapolis originally and used to see the Urban Guerrillas play all the time in clubs all over MPLS. The album has been out of print for decades. They were fantastic live. Wish you would have grabbed the Trip Shakespeare album too, right before you flipped to the Urban Guerrillas album. They were an even better live Minneapolis band. A few members of Trip Shakespeare went on to form Semisonic.

Looked like a good show Steve. And it's cool that you and Jim got to go together. it's been several years since I've been able to go to a record show. It'd be fun to tag along with you and other VC members to one. That sure was a lot of mofi's. I saw you pause on the Vertigo release of Octopus by Gentle Giant. That gave me a smile. I'd love to find one of those some day. They are pricey. Enjoy your new pickups!

I liked this video mucho. The prices....man, it's tough out there. But love seeing the band (Jim & Steve) back together.

Oh wow! That was an incredible record show. I would love to own that Wish You Were Here/Pink Floyd CBS Half Speed Mastered record. The original Japanese Guns & Roses was very cool as well. 🔥🔥🔥

Hi Unk. Looks like a decent record show. Both you and Jim seemed to do well. There's a local show here in Calgary coming up on Apr.28. Hopefully I can make it and scoop up some good stuff. Enjoy the new tunes. Cheers!

Clawson MI, my hometown!! The K of C Hall has barely changed since I left the state. Looked to be some really really good stuff there and they serve alcohol, good chance I'll be making a trip to visit my sister the next time a show comes around. Enjoyed the Michigan-centric haul.

Wow. Two hour drive. God bless you for making that pilgrimage. I’ve never done a early bird. My philosophy is getting there late. Now, you will miss out on the hots stuff but you can grab some deals as sellers are usually ready to get product moving. Sometimes $10, $15 and $20 off a record. It’s a trade-off, I suppose. How did I miss this show? Was this the Livonia show? Great fun video Steve. Well done! Shawn.

Hello Steve, nice video. I was right there when a guy bought the Nick Drake Pink Moon album for $250 from Carter. It was a gatefold US copy on the Island label, white palm tree with pink rim. I didn't even know there was a US release of that. I was wanting that for myself, but oh well. I'll have to be happy with my UK re-issue on the blue Island label, not a gatefold but it has that on the inner sleeve. It was a fun time. I"m from Davison and try to go to all the shows in Michigan. Cheers!

Hey Steve! I almost always do the early bird at record shows to get in and out before it gets too crowded Ann Arbor show next weekend! Take care Brian ☮️

Tight record boxes…..arghhhhh! Why do they do it, impossible to look through and causes ring wear! That’s also one of my pet hates Steve. Looked a great show, Japanese and Mofi heaven. As you say prices a bit up and down, but watching someone looking through records at a record shop is virtually porn! 😂 I’m going to a record fair on Saturday, so you now have me in the mood! Mike

Hello Steve; Looks like you were driving in the Indy 500. Lots of good material at the record show, a little steep in the pricing, but you could always take out a second mortgage. Some good vinyl finds. Take care, Tina & Pat!~

Interesting record fair. Lots of high-end expensive stuff! I tend to look out for the sort of stuff you got, pricewise. Cheers, Steve.

Very nice video, as always, Steve. I’m very intrigued by that band with the reproduction of Norways best known painting, the Scream, by Edvard Munch (Moo-nk). Funny how the band is named after a members sirname that happens to mean Morning in Norwegian. I think I have a litograph print on a t-shirt of the scream that resembles this albumcover. So many amazing records there, but boy, a lot of 3 numbered pricetags too! Enjoy your Easter Steve.

I went to the OC Record Show twice. Both times I went after work on Sunday morning and paid $5 early bird entry. I passed by the dealers with the over stuffed boxes. Did I miss something? At this point I really don’t care.

Good stuff at this show, Professor - Love Was (Not Was) and that album in particular - "What up Dog?" is a top notch album for sure. The bad thing about watching you go through stuff is seeing a ton of things I love on MoFi...albums that I never knew HAD a MoFI issue, like Gerry Rafferty's "City To City" and Manhattan Transfer's "Extensions"...are you TRYING to get me started on a MoFi kick now, huh? I can't afford those, LOL! Cripes I spend way too much as it is, LOL! Hope you get to a Denver record show sooner rather than later!

Steve, I used to think 6am would be nuts. Now on first shift I’m up at 4:30-5 to be at work by 6am. Lol was not was! Great 5$ pick up. Dad I’m in jail. I think I like it here! Lol. Good show. Peace ☮️ Namaste 🙏 the Zonkman

You can get anything if you wanna spend the money 😁.... You did good 👍

If I am awake at 6:00 AM, I consider my day to be a failure. I hate overstuffed boxes! I am looking forward to the spring shows in Toronto 🙂

Always great going to record fairs Steve. I’m not sure it’s worth paying the extra to get in early. I went to one fair at the end before it closed and a few dealers had their records selling for half price in a bid to get rid of as many as they could, and I got a few deals that way. Cheers.

Look at all those empty shelves... You should have bought more records... 😂 Fun to watch you flip through boxes, but didn't see many records, that I want. Two ones you did flip past, that caught my eye was Solti conducting Beethoven's Fifth. Was it a MOFI? And also Jorge Ben's "Negro E Lindo". I would have bought that in an instant.

lots of cool wax at the show, pricey though... i don't regularly do shows for that reason. back in the 80,s i used drive from Calgary to Edmonton to shop at the U of A student record store. it was legendary specialized in " underground " rock and imports. i would make the pilgrimage to Vancouver to black swan records " an import paradise.in 83 buddy and I went to Manhattan. when we were at BLEEKER BOBS. there was a poster THE CRAMPS at the peppermint lounge that night. they were fantastic! cheers.

So many records, so little time lol. That is a fantastic show. Almost anything you want. Ki wonder what the gentleman wanted for the Beatle box set z?

I'd love to go record show again someday. There used to be quite big show in FInland. But they don't organse it anymore. mr. FInglish (Bäd English Recs)

Are there any record shows or stores near your new location in Colorado? You guys brought home some cool records.

Steve why are you showing me these super nice records I know I can’t afford? Kinda mean. That copy of Parallel Lines looked fantastic!

Once upon a time there were a recordshop in Stockholm called "California" which only solded cutouts cheaper than a dollar, sure I bought Morgen there, 1972??

Hi Steve - Saw lots of great records with lots of really high prices. I would offer 25% less & probably get 15% to 20% less on many & I really don't enjoy that process but I've been on both sides as a dealer & seller & respect an honest offer.

Cool video. Are you going to the Ann Arbor show next week?

Cool video Steve! I felt like I was there with your POV shots! Some great titles and not too bad prices either! Did they dicker with you or were they pretty firm on pricing?

I couldn't make out many of the prices but of what I could see the prices were nuts. Sound of the Slots $100. I paid $5 at the flea market. Pink Floyd Obscured by Clouds $100. I paid $10 at the flea market. I never paid for early bird entry for the reason you mentioned in the video. I'm glad I stopped collecting.

My invitation must have got lost in the mail! Slow DOWN; I can tell that you're speeding! The first vendor had some amazing titles. I can't believe the amount of MoFi titles. Prices seemed high for most of the records I saw. You're heart was not in it. Looks like you fellows had a great time, though.

Lists are for amateurs Mike. Records before dawn...that's hardcore! Hope you got that Barry Gibb & Babs album. I think that guy likes the Beatles Mono Box 🤔 Furry Mike will definitely not like What Up Dog? That's 3 records I don't know, although from your description of Urban Guerrilla's seems like it might be good. Cheers...Mike

Is that normal at the record shows to have so much aisle space between sellers? Over here it's always crowded because there's so little of it. Pasi

You have so much control. I don't think I could go all that way and pay the early-bird fee without foolishly buying a shit-ton or records. In fact, I don't go to a record store near me without foolishly buying a shit-load of records. Hmm, I'm beginning to see a disturbing pattern here.

Nice record fair, some cool records and what I could see in the video there was really priced all over. You got some cool stuff, not that I have heard them before except from Was Not Was. You should have picked up that Jorge Ben album, it's really good. Cheers.
