The Tampa Record Show 2024!! Amazing Heat!! Rare Psych!!

[@drewweissmann1486]

I recently bought that Helen Merrill you've got in the background. Mine is a clean 57 3rd pressing, but interestly enough it's the rarest copy, only having sold once on discogs. I got a great price on it as well. Nice finds btw as usual!

[@southerngrailsauctions]

Good you got a clean one. Tough to find in any condition.

@@southerngrailsauctions check that out it you get a chance. The difference is black font instead of blue on the back, and a slightly smaller drummer boy on label. I think there were 11 owners 1 discogs buyer when I checked.

"Easter Everywhere" is a grower. I honestly didn't like it much until I heard it on vinyl, with the 2022 mono/stereo splatter reissue. It is a true masterpiece. I've loved their first album "Psychedelic Sounds" for many years. Supposedly the master tapes for the 13th Floor Elevators albums have been lost or destroyed over the years, and the early pressings sound much better. I've never heard those pressings, so I can't say. But '60s psych and garage rock are my main jams, but I also give myself a hard cutoff limit on what I will spend on an album.

I listened to it 3 times, I wish I could appreciate it enough to keep it. It's not bad, it just doesn't grab me.

When was the record show held and where ?

[@southerngrailsauctions]

Last Sunday in Tampa Florida

[@drewweissmann1486]

Man, I've got so many 2nd blue note pressings that are so much more rare than the first particular pressings... What's your opinion on that?

[@southerngrailsauctions]

Definitely, some are much more rare as the second run on an unsuccessful album will get pulled fast.

[@VinylPiper]

I have the Canadian 1st press mono of that Chocolate Watchband, I'll trade you that plus some cash for your US :)

[@drewweissmann1486]

I disagree with you. He buys records for the love of it. Selling some, keeping what he wants.
