Greater Columbia Record Fair

Today was a big deal. The Columbia Museum of Art hosted the Greater Columbia Record Fair. We had a lot of fun and got a lot of cool records! Meet some new people and chatted with some friends. 

 Entrance to the Museum. 
 Papa Jazz booth from above
Around a dozen vendors set up with great stuff! 

 Simon and Garfunkel
Not entirely sure what this is actually. It's some sort of unofficial release. I hope it's early because I prefer their earlier recordings.

 
 Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde 
 Oh Dylan! It's in great shape and a very clean copy. Also has the pictures of the women inside the gatefold.

 Melanie - At Carnegie Hall
The jacket is a little dirty. It's splattered with something that resembles dried blood but i'm gonna stick with calling it coffee. :)

 Patti Smith - People Have The Power
Mr. Empty pulled this out for me. I love the cover photo shot by Mapplethorpe. This 12 inch single came with a packet insert of an interview with Patti Smith and other photos by Mapplethrope.

 Elliott Smith - New Moon
Mr. Empty: "Aside from two 7"s, this is actually, shockingly, my first Elliott Smith record! Double LP, not a gatefold, but so, so good. Already listened to the whole thing, couldn't resist putting it on as soon as possible. It's also not a re-issue, which isn't the biggest deal to me but it's nice to have an original."

 Patti Smith Group - Because The Night 45
If this record didn't have the picture sleeve with it, I probably would have never bought it. The look in her eyes are so gut wrenching on this cover. I had to take it home.

 The Doors - The Best of The Doors
Kinda rare double LP that was released at a time when not a lot of vinyl was being pressed. Very iconic picture of Jim on the front.

 Queen Ida (And The Bon Temps Band) - Zydeco

 Queen Ida and her Zydeco Band - In San Francisco

 Janis Joplin - Janis 
Soundtrack to the Janis documentary. I own the film on vhs because it was never released on DVD. This record has a lot of rare and intimate songs by Janis that you can't hear anywhere other than the movie and this record.

 Fall Out Boy - Infinity On High
