Turntabling at Flashback Weekend Friday and Saturday (Oct. 23-24 2009)

13 unusual tracks promo cd turntablingThat’s an iPhone photo of the CD we’ll be giving away tomorrow to some lucky attendees of Chicago’s annual Flashback Weekend, a longtime horror convention staple in the midwest. Turntabling doesn’t have a booth at this one–next year, perhaps after we’ve scoped it out this year–but we will be hangning out at the Kitley’s Krypt booth with a stack of these VERY limited-edition promo discs for Turntabling Records.

These will go very quickly if the performance of the last promo disc, Turntabling Presents 12 Spacey Favorites is any indication. We gave away 30 CDs in no time at all at the Music Box Massacre recently and we fully expect the new promo, Turntabling Presents 13 Unusual Tracks, to be just as popular. These are NOT for sale–they’re promos and therefore totally free. But they’re also a limited edition and when they’re gone, they’re gone for good.

13 Unusual Tracks features another grab bag of odd and rare sounds, including a never-before-on-CD Post-Mortem Telepathy Vs. Pink Floyd mashup, plus some brand new Paisley Babylon tracks unheard and unreleased until now…these won’t be on the promo release for the new vinyl record, either.

13 Unusual Tracks is packed with soundtrack/Morricone-esque sounds, plus some very trippy, spaced out material sure to lull you into a state of near-hallucination. Listen to this disc in the dark, if you’re one of the lucky ones to get it. For the rest of the world, stay tuned as a special promo collection (with different tracks, naturally) for YOU is coming very soon.

Join us this weekend at Flashback. It’s located at:

WYNDHAM O’HARE Hotel
6810 N. Mannheim Road
Rosemont, Illinois

Post-Massacre Thanks

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by the Turntabling table at Chicago’s Music Box Massacre last night. We gave away all our copies of the limited edition compilation CD and a lot of vinyl flew off the table, too. According to what you purchased last night, Morricone, Joe Meek, Goblin, and Easy Tempo sounds are your favorites–nice taste, folks!

There are still some vinyl road trip updates to post and I have to post some updates to the vinyl catalog…more titles (and a few sold-outs) coming soonest.

Join Turntabling at the Music Box Massacre

Tomorrow, Saturday October 10 at noon til Sunday October 11 at noon, drop by the Turntabling booth at the Music Box Massacre, the amazing 24 horror movie marathon held yearly at Chicago’s Music Box Theater. We’ll be there selling new and used vinyl, soundtrack CDs, books and much more.

We’re giving away a limited Turntabling Favorites compilation CD with a dozen of the most-played tracks on our speakers to date! Buy anything from the table and get the comp for free, but only while supplies last. (This one will go VERY QUICKLY so get there early.)

Also, don’t miss the Reanimator reunion featuring Stuart Gordon and other luminaries. It’s going to be an excellent time! Hope to see you there. Join us at the Music Box Theater, 3733 N Southport Avenue, Chicago, IL 60613-3718. Telephone: (773) 871-6604 to get directions to the theater.

You Read That Correctly: Vinyl Records For Sale Here

vinyl records for saleTurntabling is on the verge of getting much more active (and cool) with the addition of vinyl LPs for sale and related sundries. We introduced books and a random CD or two back a few months ago to test the response and the results were quite pleasing.

The majority of the music for sale here will be vinyl LPs, but some CDs will also make an appearance. Expect an interesting collection of sounds including Italian horror soundtracks, lounge and bossa nova, new wave/electronic, experimental, any quirky or offbeat stuff we can dig up.

If you have a band with vinyl releases, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your wholesale prices and a web addy where we can listen to digita samples. Turntabling’s areas of interest are diverse, but we need to hear it before we agree to stock it.

Stay tuned, the first LP titles go up for sale this week before the Labor Day weekend.
