ARC Summer Record & CD Sale

You may recall us having talked up a rather large record sale in Tribeca back around the holidays. For 10 glorious days the folks at ARC rolled out all their vinyl duplicates and sold them for absurdly reasonable prices, and we were able to walk out of there with a treasure trove of near-mint condition records ranging from Graceland to David Lee Roth's Skyscraper for about 3 bucks a pop. Well guess what? They're having another sale next month.

For those who need a refresher, ARC is the ARChive of Contemporary Music, a not-for-profit archive and research center and the world's largest collection of popular music. Board members include David Bowie, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, Lou Reed, Martin Scorsese, Keith Richards, Paul Simon, and Fred Schneider.

Back to EF....

So all of the above is a reminder, essentially retreading territory covered on the bloated day after Thanksgiving, but perhaps the tryptophan made you forget about this sale, so there you go.

The deal is that the ARC holds onto two copies of all recordings released in America and so all of these sale items will be the third copies of such recordings. Call it a large-scale cleaning of the closet, call it a Christmas miracle, call it what you want, but EAR FARM will definitely be checking this out. Will you?

Okay, back to me. Wow, that looks pretty awesome (I took the liberty of adding bold font to the part about the Beatles). The deal is that the ARC holds onto two copies of all recordings released in America and so all of these sale items will be the third copies of such recordings. Call it a large-scale cleaning of the closet, call it a Christmas miracle, call it what you want, but EAR FARM will definitely be checking this out. Will you?
