folks were saying the buying was better than the last few shows, the number of Japanese customers seemed rather lite comparedto previous shows (yen/euro related ?) so the rare stayed in the EUmore Russian shoppers in the hall than ever before, less mericans (also euro related ?)among the usual special features of autograph signings, live music & deejays, etcthis time included a room of posters from the Paradiso on display,a display of dutch music magazines "beatmeisjes" & eddy de clercq's exotica record collection :

can i ask you if any of those records on the wall are affordable out there?
i would like to go in april
wall stuff prices varied, but the bargains were in the crates
the "eagle in a box" german guys behind me
had three 12 foot tables filled with uhaul boxes
(also under the tables & stacked 4 high behind)
the lps were 5 euros on friday, 2 on saturday & 1 on sunday
people were freaking on it
i saw many triple digit worthy lps sell for 10 euros
it is bigger & better than wfmu, if you can relate to that
I'd go and sell there but I'd probably spend my profits hitting up the other dealers (getting high on my own supply so to speak).
any other strutters from the states head out there?
just some lurkers, no other stateside strutters
yet
I had to work that weekend - in Berlin!!!!
I was freaking out when I heard that I had to work...
Shit Shit Shit!!!
AAAAAAaaaaahhhhhh!??!!!!!??!"!!!??!??!??!
You are actually killing me with those pics!!!!
AAAAaaahhhhHHHAAAAhhhhhhhh!!!! I feel
PS: Would have been nice to shake hands with an outereuro strutter - next time joey!!!
I'll make sure to bring an extra gropeski with me
Nice pics, Coffin Joe!
I wonder if we're gonna see any pics showing Hotelbeds/carpets plastered with Raers though?
Where's J*n* btw? Can't wait to see which 45s he got his fingers on this time
Does Canada count? I've been there 2 years straight for the April show. Usually go Friday's 7 am and do the day, I haven't been on the Saturday or Sunday. I'm planning on being there April. Trying to convince Jake One to come with me again (he came the first time), so maybe this thread will get him motivated.
germans
(maybe some german strutters can explain ??!!??)
yeah...mostly those dudes just align that shit with Eddie from Iron Maiden and the whole RAWK kinda thing. Probably not aware of the social probs with the image....
yup, longhair dood pictured is cool enough,
pure southern rock moves &
hangs the big ol battle flag high so his peeps can find him
some of the older folks who are cd dealers plaster them all over their booths,
they seem to have "roots" music (wtf that means in euro ?) and are more suspect
one dealer was selling patches that were elvis' profile in front of the stars & bars
most of the euro folk of african & caribbean roots don't seem bothered
bigger racist euro issues to deal with
(like today's over the top football racist hooligans)
Nice seeing you again, didnt see you anymore when i passed your stand before i left on Friday..
I was planning to go on Sunday too but that didnt work out.
I hope you had a good time on your free day in Amsterdam!
I got some good deals this time..I'll post pictures of my finds when i get home.
This year was very laidback diggin compared to other years,
this was maybe because there were not so much Japanese dudes and the French dudes caught stealing last show got kicked out!!
Hope to see more Strutters in April!
Got the LPs at my friends shop, didn??t want to carry them on the plane.
Sorry for the blurry last picture. Two top right ones are New York Rock Ensemble - Running down the highway and The Brandenburger 45s.
Most of these are for trade etc...not the Can 45, Muddy Waters 45, Serge Gainsbourg for certain
That Les Charlots has a cool Hammond track on it (Pas de Probleme ).
Yes, but I like the other funky track (Psychose) on it even more
Cortex was very decent AND IT HANGED ON A WALL :-)
I really like the Patucchi one, Very groovy, a bit dark and jazzy, great pianos and restrained brass.
that's the first thing i thought to myself
yeah ive got to go in april
you guys realize this is the 45 right?
