Sunday was the second installment of the Northeast???s most increasingly anticipated and Strutter-friendly record shows in North Philly. Great records for decent prices, amicable sellers and attendees, full bar with Lager fountain (pssh), fish fry and quality DJs. Basically, everything was on point. I???ll let the pictures (and captions) tell the rest of the story???


Ray and Pay


Raj tha Don


Mooovin' Day...


"Why I can't dig anymore!" (my wife related) ... SIKE!


Who knew stocking caps could stretch that big?


Where's Waldo...I mean Gandalf, wait - both??


Local doo-wop man on the prowl (complete w/ Jheri Tail)


Using that Finnish charm to get a discount...saucy!


Kool-Aid must have pulled some fire, even Chilly Phill feels the heat. (No Miami)


A young buck learns Econ 101 (and not to upset Tony in the process)


As Bam says, "(page me)"


"Yes We Can, Can" (One upping the Pointer Sisters in the fashion game)


And now...the most elegant way I've ever seen a needle handled. (Take notes, folls)


Mr. Most, casting Just Sunshine


Old Heads


The Booty

    These are good photographs, Drew. What kind of camera are you using? Thanks for cropping before you posted.

    Nice pics drewn! That dude with the head wrap was like 7 foot. This was another killer show record-wise. The vibe was less familia-like than round 1, but I was pretty much all business anyway as my wife was blowing up my Sidekick. I got to enjoy a Heineken, though. I don't remember seeing Sampo, either... then again I bounced rather early. See ya next show!

    it was a fun show, definitely worth the drive up from baltimore. i didn't really connect too many dots or put names with faces, but next time. we were located next to tripledouble's table of heat...so we were, how do you say--outclassed. heh. still sold enough jazz/rock/weirdness to pick up some 45s so it all worked out.




    Where's Waldo...I mean Gandalf, wait - both??

    Waldalf was wearing a leather weight belt for the first half of the show--couldn't stop smirking over that. he definitely came equipped.

    Great pics Drew. I recognize a couple DC dealers in there too... Tim of Rasslin Records (bald white dude) and the cabbie from the DC Fleas (hommie with a ponytail and hat)...I think. Definitely seems like a familia vibe still though.

    Tim of Rasslin Records (bald white dude)

    dude is super chill & has some great reggae records.

    the show looked like it was fun, weather looked nice up there as well. How were the prices?

    DC would be the little brother city to Miami, New York and Toronto as far as reggae records go. Couple distibution centers there.

    Yes I bought a lot of stuff from this dude, although at an earlier show.

    Prices were reasonable.

    Yeah Tim is def a cool guy and loves to chat, used to also be a radio DJ as well. He lives bout 2 miles from me, and I'm positive reggae collection is classic (I'm reggae knowledge deficient though). He also turns up decent funk 45s from time to time.

    I think what Young Phoniks means is that he's not a size man...

    TONY:

    1. Chili was bangin! But I said that already.

    2. lighting... man, the lighting was really bad in there. Definitely made some questionable decisions on condition...

    thats how the first one was...lighting was dark. i meant to tell u to take a lil flashlight or something with you. i wish i could've been there, but the fam went through some realness this past week. at least i finally got to meet the infamous johnny paycheck here in b-more though.

    holla at me tripledouble..so we can finish up that biz...and hopefully the next show will be sometime around july or august. i'll definitely be there for that one.

    From the Record Revival website:

    Next Show...Sunday May 22nd, at the U.A.C.A.

    The U.A.C.A. (Ukie Club), 847 N Franklin St. (bet 7th and 8th @ Poplar St.) Philadelphia, PA

    The show runs from 4pm to 10pm. This way, you don't have to wake up too early on your weekend.

    This one is going to be better than ever, with more food, more DJays, more wax, and yes....more light[/b]... We had to switch locations because we wanted more space, so please don't get lost. Mapquest or email for directions.

    I'm really excited folks, as there are going to be a lot more records! The Djay line-ups are going to be really good, with folks coming from NYC, VA, DC, and of course some of Philly's finest. And did I mention the fish-fry yet?! Well, get yourself down here with some wax (or pick some up here), grap a Yuengling and a fish sandwich, and enjoy.

    For tables, or any other [email]information....dig@record-revival.com[/email]

    Aaah no... This venue was just as bad as the last one concerning low light. I had to run my thumb along the LP to feel for deep marks, play grade some of the more expensive pieces, and just plain old gambled on some of the $3 joints that had some sheen. Next time... coal miners' helmet it is.
