There are probably other similar bands, but they haven't made a stack of *always ripped* records, they didn't cook their sound in a geodesic dome, and they aren't Carlton Melton (band page). Like most of the bands I'm enthusiastic about, they're infinitely more appreciated in Europe/UK than here... no matter: long may they sail~

Audiotronics 304a
Working multiple fronts this week, records & gear giving me a run for it... happy end to this chapter though: the pictured Audiotronics 304a from the late '70s survived its first life as an institutional/classroom piece, now ready to serve in a domestic capacity. 16-33-45-78, fully tested & sounding fine. These are generally desirable & out of here in a hurry, so hop to if interested. They are, after all, the actual quality vintage players that modern trash knock offs intend to emulate~ #reverberationvinyl #blono #turntable #recordplayer #stereogear #vintageaudio #70s #stereoequipment #recordplayers #turntables #vintage #bloomingtonillinois #recordshop #newarrivals #recordstore #IWU #records #ilstu #vinyl #audiotronics304a

This one starts off with a handful of new LPs, mostly from Three Lobed Recordings, like the Gunn-Truscinski-Nace you're hearing right now... then on to more used flow, with another thin stack of UK originals, and a wide swath of The People's Favorites. Nice grip of middle eastern jams in the guise of belly dance records too, doubles mean one is sealed!

These went out Saturday & somehow got lost in the meta ether, so here they are... most still around, and that Curanderos (what you're hearing) is one of my favorite records of the last 15-20 years.

SWEET mid-fi (**see below) Westinghouse tabletop portable stereo from the late 60s/early 70s... automatic and fully functional at all 3 speeds, the speakers detach, and the turntable folds up for easy storage and transit. Out now! ** "mid-fi", in my book = a great deal of the commercial stereo equipment of the 60s & 70s: waaaaay better than any modern Crosley or equivalent, but sure to elicit scorn from audiophile punishers with speaker wire that cost more than your car. Different strokes, but this is a fun, functional and fine sounding vintage piece for quite a bit less than current psycho prices~ #stereoequipment #vintageaudio #stereogear #recordplayer #turntable #vintage #reverberationvinyl #blono #ilstu #recordshop #IWU #bloomingtonillinois #recordstore #newarrivals #turntables #recordplayers #70s #60s
The Dollar Bin Is A Holy Place
I've been seriously considering decommissioning a few more rows of cheapos to make way for expanding other sections, but the thought of it runs counter to my deepest held record store beliefs. That said, the daily record buyer has changed a great deal in recent times, and it seems most are missing out on/are unaware of the joys of the deep & cheap dig. There are fewer record scenes I love more than flat priced, unsorted LPs. The joy of discovery is worth a hundred soulless prime deliveries, friend. The cheapos here are loaded with oddballs like you're hearing now, desirable titles in less than perfect shape, super clean commons, & more. When you can leave with 30 records for the price of a single unnecessary new reissue, there's no downside. There is truly an art in the experience of forming one's tastes via the physical sort that vaporizes a lame playlist on the worst of days. ❤ #records #cheapos #reverberationvinyl #blono #ilstu #recordstore #IWU #bloomingtonillinois #recordshop #thedollarbin #vinyl #newarrivals #vinylcommunity #vinyljunkie #vinyligclub
