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.

Shopping Bags For Crate Diggers and Vinyl Junkies

For Sale, , , , , , , , , ,

Lately I’ve been hard at work designing and silkscreening cotton/canvas bags for crate diggers and vinyl junkies. I’ve got several designs now, two of which are currently for sale on Etsy. These bags hold any standard size vinyl records from 12-inch double LPs to seven inch singles. These are GREAT for vinyl shopping and convention-going.

One of my biggest complaints about doing record shows is that carrying around your vinyl finds is a major pain unless you’re toting a backpack. These cotton/canvas vinyl record shopping bags are great for shows whether you’re at a horror movie convention or your local record swap.

The images are linked directly to their respective sales pages on Etsy or you can check out the Skull Star Crate Digger’s Vinyl Record Shopping Bag or my personal favorite, the Aleister Crowley Beast 666 Crate Digger Bag pictured below.

If you find these bags are sold out when you click, please get in touch with me directly (jwallace at turntabling dot net) to make arrangements as I  usually have plenty in stock to sell at conventions and shows. Naturally, the vinyl seen here is NOT INCLUDED, heh. Did I mention these are only $9.50 each with free shipping in the USA?

Chris and Cosey, John Lacey: Elemental 7 Soundtrack

For Sale, Vinyl Finds, , , , , ,

This is a rare vinyl record released on Cabaret Voltaire’s Doublevision label back in the 80s. The soundtrack to a Doublevision video of the same name, Elemental 7 features Chris and Cosey and John Lacey performing as CTI, Creative Technology Institute.

Lots of analog synth action going on here, with dialog and other vocal sampling going on with tracks like Meeting Mr. Evans. The music won’t shock fans of Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle, Coil, and the likes, but for me, the real draw for this record is in both its cross-pollenation with Cabaret Voltaire and the fact that it’s for intents and purposes an archive of material that no longer exists.

The masters for this release have since been destroyed due to poor storage. The sounds were saved from oblivion at the last moment for a CD reissue of a set of projects on Conspiracy International, but this album is the OG release–an artifact of original multi-track tapes that have given up the ghost.

Check out this sample from the album. “Meeting Mr. Evans” is definitely something I would have been attracted to then, and still am now. I’ve always had a soft spot for this sort of thing, which is why anything released on Doublevision has my full attention–even when it’s not that great overall, there’s still a certain quality about the material that keeps me coming back for more.

(and yes, I do have a copy of Elemental 7: The Original Soundtrack for sale on Etsy.com, for FAR CHEAPER than it is selling from other people on places like Discogs.com where this record is listed for upwards of $70 or more. Yowza.)
