Had a blast at Vinyl Mania tonight in Buffalo, NY. Won 2nd place for my 1960s costume (I dressed as Number 48 from The Prisoner).
A lot of the vendors were new faces - ladies and gents who were selling from their personal collections and as a result, I took home some wonderful surprise finds!
For my massive KLF collection, I picked up The History of the JAMS - an essential work of plunderphonia, as well as Drummond's first solo effort featuring "Julian Cope Is Dead".
I also grabbed an original press of Slowdive's debut album, Just For a Day and the classic ethereal wave collaboration of Harold Budd, Elizabeth Fraser, Robin Guthrie & Simon Raymonde - The Moon and the Melodies which I've wanted for several years now.
Also delighted to snatch up an original Brain press of Klaus Schulze's Moondawn, which was the next of his catalog I'd planned on purchasing.
Equally excited to find Morton Subotnick's Touch, which is the next logical investment after one acquires Silver Apples of the Moon and The Wild Bull.
And the final surprise was Pierre Henry's Le Voyage: his famous electronic score based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Good haul!
