marcus belgrave on tribe---$2 (had the $4 price tag crossed out, they slashed it in half, thought it was funny)
Head west $1
Cargo simple things $1
trend home cookin $1

but, to be honest I don't travel to too many record fairs

earthings

A High Frequency-Summertime "12
Hilton Felton-Ode To New Life LP (a one-tracker but still a nice find)

Both were less than $1 and pretty much unplayed. What's the deal with High Frequency by the way? Mine is a gold label, but I've seen copies with a red label... which one is the original? I don't know shit about disco.

Silver Apples - s/t (NM w/ poster)

If you send it to me I will inspect it and give you my honest opinion. PM for address.

It wasn't specifically a record fair - it was more like an giant antique fair with a bunch of records from different sellers. I should have specified.

I usually do all right in the 45's. Too many over the years to remember just now, but I do remember once a guy who specialized in garage and psych ($10 and up) had a shitload of soul and funk in his $3-or-less pile, and I cleaned up there (one title I scored was Big Jay Bush & the Housewreckers [House Rockers?] on Vangee).

I say that the vast majority of my collection of 45s was purchased for under $3, including stuff at record shows.

A near mint copy of this funk gem is my most mentionable dollar bin find.

When I'm dead and cold, Castillo...I'd leave it for you in my will, but then you'd only have me killed...

I don't know if this counts - I got these at a record show at a rock festival*** -but just this summer I scored the one LP by the Flame (w/poster) for $3, and a doo-wop compilation on Jubilee called Rumble for $5 (both usually go for 10x more than what I paid).

[color:blue]***the Pitchfork thing in Chicago..."rock festival," listen at me! As if this were 1969 or something! [/color]

I got Tony Grazette & Blue Rhythm Combo - Take This Funky Feeling/Knock on Wood 45rpm on Merry Disc for 50 cent at a record fair in Wisconsin.
