Turntabling Events Up Next

Events, , , , , , , ,

Every year, horror fans, vinyl junkies and collectors find the Turntabling booth at conventions like Cinema Wasteland, HorrorHound Weekend, and many other shows. I’ve got a pretty busy few months coming up and if you’re looking for rare vinyl, you should definitely meet me at one of the following shows where I’ll have Turntabling set up and selling vinyl records in person:

Flashback Weekend, August 12-14 2011 in Rosemont, Illinois. It’s located at the Crowne Plaza Chicago O’Hare at 5440 River Road.

Cinema Wasteland, September 30 – October 2 2011 in Strongsville Ohio. It’s at the Holiday Inn at 15471 Royalton Road in Strongsville.

Horrorhound Weekend November 11-13 2011 in Cincinnati Ohio. This one is at the Crowne Plaza Hotel 11320 Chester Road.

I’ll have a table FULL of amazing stuff including Goblin on vinyl, plus more LP titles from Skinny Puppy, Coil, Sleep Chamber, the Inferno soundtrack, William S. Burroughs, Leonard Nimoy reading Ray Bradbury on vinyl, Tom Baker reading Jules Verne on vinyl, Morricone, a ton of more rare and hard-to-find vinyl records you’ll definitely want to see.

I also have a very nice supply of CD titles which are equally rare and hard to find. Turntabling is all about hard-to-find titles, oddball, rare and bizarre vinyl and CD releases. Can you afford NOT to miss these shows?

I am always looking for more conventions to set up a table at, so if you are putting together a horror, sci-fi or collectible convention, please get in touch as I’d love to know more–especially if you are within a few hours of Chicago. Drop me an e-mail to jwallace (at) turntabling (dot net) to get in touch about conventions, record shows (I do sell ad space for record dealer conventions here) and more. Did I mention that I also like to buy record collections or portions of collections? Get in touch.

Vintage Vinyl Show and Sale

Events, For Sale, , , ,

With a little over a month before the Vintage Vinyl Show and Sale held at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Grayslake, Illinois, I wanted to remind vinyl junkies about the show. There’s still time to get a dealer, table too–tell them you spotted the info here at Turntabling!

The show is August 13 and 14 and has the added bonus of a 60s and 70s retro car show, so there is plenty to photograph as well as purchase at the show. (I’m a shutterbug on the side, so this would appeal to both my photographic obsessions and my retro ones).

The Saturday hours are 10AM to 4PM, with Sunday hours running from 8AM to 3PM, and yes, there’s an ad for the show to the right of this post. Print that ad and bring it with you to the show to get two-for-one admission to the show.

Vinyl junkies like me can’t resist a good local show, but I was already committed to running the Turntabling booth at Flashback Weekend during the same time, so I am going to miss all the good buys on this one. Which means more good stuff for YOU since you won’t have ME prowling around looking for the rare vinyl.

And while I’m on the subject, if you’d like to advertise your next record show on Turntabling, by all means get in touch and I’ll give you a rate quote, tech specs, etc. Contact me via e-mail at jwallace (at) turntabling (dot net).

Support your local record shows! Dealers work hard to find the good vinyl, and there’s nothing better than a well-attended record show to give a little love for the hard work.

Turntabling Tees: Skull Star Crate Digger Shirt

For Sale, , , , , , , ,

by Joe Wallace

Yes, I’m in fundraising mode for Turntabling as of late, offering a line of things I’ve hand silkscreened including this Turntabling limited edition tee.

The Skull Star shirt is one of the designs I created a year or so ago, it also appears on the Turntabling crate digger bags I’ve mentioned in other blog posts…now you can wear this design, too! Great for record store hopping, DJ gigs and on-stage lunacy.

And yes, I wear my own designs, so chances are if you’re in the Chicago area and you’ve been record store scoring the same time as me, you’ve spotted this shirt. Shameless? Maybe, but I do genuinely like the look. What can I say, I’ve got a thing for skulls.

The Turntabling Skull Star tee is available for $11 plus shipping in sizes SM through XL.
