Day to Day Digging Pics

Tokyo - 2nd and 3rd of June 2012. Ikebukuro Record Fair, Koenji, Ekoda, Jimboucho, Shibuya.



Thanks to Plainstone & MattB.

Anyone notice the spelling mistake? It should read Crapton

clean copies of both Raivo Tammiku 7"s straight from a fresh pile of new arrivals behind the counter, and the Golotschkin(?) lp I had been after.

well done! (you're holding Josif Vainshtein jazz orchestra LP, it has two great tracks, i just recently discovered it)

store has been open almost month, it's part of Raamatukoi old book store. it's really brave move to start second hand vinyl record store in Tallinn, but at least it's the good kind of store. i haven't made any good scores yet!
have you got Sven Grünberg 7" now?

[Brainbomb]

Maybe I reallu should try to make it to Tallinn this summer...

[blue burt]

Martin, I had some tough decisions to make, in order to save some dough for other pursuits later that day, so I 'm shamed to say I left a copy behind, as well as spares of couple Jaan Kuman 7"s (still no "Gloobus", though) - instead picked up a couple interesting cheapie lps...yeah, that Vainshtein lp is a nice one indeed, it appeared I already had it with different sleeve...

[priima]

yes, I had seen copy there, but didn't know price. I still have copy with your name here!
i haven't found spare "Gloobus" also, not even dealers have copies.

These shouldnt even count I guess, but here is a cool store in Shibuya that I didnt actually get a chance to go into on the day I took this pic:


And these guys were riding past just as I was about to put the camera away:

Osaka Record Fair, early doors



Thought about buying this purely for the bizarre quotient (Union Carbide in environmental push), but the water-themed collection of songs looked utter pish.



Here's Workshop in Kyoto ...



Best shop in town by a long chalk, and they even put their grading system on the wall.

Wish I could have gone. Cool pics.

Disk Union had a big sale on today. It was in Shibuya, but the records were from DU stores from all over the place.
Was going to meet up with the one Plainstone but our timing was off due to a number of factors.

The sale opened at the un-godly hour of 9:30am, but the start time to get the tickets to get in was down-right demonic: 8:00am.
I got there a bit late... 8:05am:


Line up (in ticket order) at about 9am. The line behind me was almost as long.
The room was on the 7th floor so we were herded in by elevator, 10 by 10.


Frenzy. Actually this pic doesnt give a good indication of how bad the elbow fest was at the beginning.


Finds:

Just looking at those pics I'm happy I did the third day of the Osaka fair instead of the first day of the DU sale.

I was happy with what I got when I left but was glad to be out and back home under the air conditioning.
But it's a new day and now Im thinking of going back again for round 2!

Where's the Waxi "Master Digger" graemlin when you need it.

I'm off to Chiba for the cricket club BBQ via a couple of stores. We can compare finds tonight

1.95 for a Mothers Fillmore East with a chunk out of it?






Or a VG- Warm Dust missing the cover and the other disc?



Just two of the disasters that ended my charity shop challenge.

Leeds Corn Exchange last Sunday.... note Ex England manager digging for that elusive Abba rare.

Nice. I love Leeds Corn Exchange.

Have some photos of Vinyl Vault in Cheltenham to load up, hold on...

Here we go. This is where I spent my pocket money as a teenager:



Notice clothes shop at back ('Browser's Paradise')...



...which has also (I think) spread out to the floor above...



So it's perfect for your non-gender specific clothes enjoying significant other to spend some time whilst you do the same.

I only walked away with one 7" - King's Lead Hat for £3, which I was rather pleased with.

That book was my bible when I was a kid.

I'll test you then GK -

1. How many Doctors did it take to defeat the renegade timelord Omega?

2. What planet were the Mechanoids from?

3. Was it an ice planet or a jungle planet?

4. What is the only interest of the Sontarans?

5. The Sea-Devils were marine cousins of which race?

Yes, JGBollard is indeed jealous (of the poster). Nice find.

Same seller. I've plotted the graph, extrapolated to 2012 and calculated that Col owes you 4p.

[Sie Vulture]

Brilliant. I love the idea that I could send Col around to demand my money off Col.

What, you mean you dug through all those boxes looking for cheese pasties then realised you were a "g" short?
