I’m still in New York, but taking a day of rest from the vinyl shopping madness to see a few sights, take a pile of photos and eat in some of local places. I’ve got one more record shop to review from Cleveland, then we’ll move on to Akron and Youngstown, Pittsburgh, Allentown, Philadelphia and NYC. Who knows what happens from there? In the meantime, here are some of the images so far:

Yes, the incredibly massive Eide’s in Pittsburgh, PA is still kicking. They have three floors and it’s stuffed to capacity with lots to sift through. Your brain might split in two from the sheer volume of vinyl on hand.

Did this come out AFTER they sold Nirvana to the majors? Could this album be titled without a trace of irony? Sub Pop did get points on that sale, you know…

IndieWax was a fun shop that had a pile of discount records so large I couldn’t possibly have sifted through them all. They also had all the Dwarves 45s you could ever want. Friendly crew and a nice casual browser-friendly atmosphere. A bigger review coming, naturally.

Somebody PLEASE stop letting Ringo design his own album covers. Did you fall off the wagon here or what? You clearly just wiped some Bolivian Marching Powder off your face just before you came up with THIS one. I don’t want to hear any more crap about George Harrison’s Maharishi albums when there’s so much WORSE floating around from ex-Beatles…as you can plainly see.

They are a DIME. BUY THEM ALL! I should have done just that, but I already had a massive pile straining my shoulders. This would have killed me. Besides…I can’t really think of a suitably violent use for some of those titles.
