Pasture Music, 600 block e johnson
st vincent de paul, willy st next to co-op
no, no records in madison
No time to swing thru Milwaukee, but next time!!! paging Big Stacks!!!!!
There are not really any records in Wisconsin any more.
NONE??!?!??!?!?! you mean I won't find a single copy of The Bob McGrath there????
Fon Du Lac aka Fondy might still have some records. I heard there are still boxes of Penny Goodwin LP's at the goodwill there.
hooray beer!!! I have to drive thru there to get to Green Bay anyway on saturday so maybe I'll cop a Penny for my thoughts!!!!
For real though, stop in all the rural towns. The goodwill's around there are pretty surprising at times.
I've actually found some crazy folk/psych shit in Fon Du Lac.
Was it that bad???
I mean, I ended up buying maybe 10 decent records. If you have nothing else to do, you might as well hit it up. Plaese to post your experience there if you do end up going. I'm curious if you will get the same treatment we did.
When were you last there????
People told me all kinds of horror stories about that spot in Vegas and I had decent experience with him. He was kinda shady at first, but then he let me into some heat stash and i ended up getting a decent amount of stuff fairly priced. Hopefully this will be the same!!!
this was about 5 months ago. He sells on Ebay too, under the name "amazingrecords"
No wonder he's trying to cop all types of knowledge!! He's trying to get his
I don't know if what records were here in the past to gauge expectations, but highlights of the day one 4 hour search unearthed:

an old-school 50 records holder plus 25 other joints.
not great, but also doesn't seem below the curve of some of the weekend find posts.....
I'm hitting up Pasture today before I try & hit up Fondy for my Penny joints.
I didn't get the same treatment you did, though the place is indeed a total waste of time. He wasn't a dick, but I also didn't attempt to talk to him much. Only after I looked at everything and he already told me if the records didn't have a price on them they were $4 I pulled the Angela Davis Soul & Soledad off the wall and said "four buck right???" he just took it back and said ti's not really for sale unless you want to pay $100 bucks for it. To which, I said, "Enjoy looking at the record."
No inquires of lists, but I was surprised how few records we actually in the racks and how many he preferred I didn't look thru. He just strikes me as a guy who's the only game in town and doesn't have much stock so he hoards what he thinks is dope for ebay. it's just clearly a store that was happier when people were still looking for Hendrix & Floyd bootlegs.
A.B. Skhy - st, Aquaboogie 12" and Bob James Two were really the only records I brought.
Am I the only one who feels compelled to buy dolla bin commons at stores where there's nothing so you won't feel like it was a total waste??? LOL
nope, I do the same. You're dead on with your assessment of the store. There is indeed no game in Green Bay.
