Allentown Record Show - lowdown on motel scene?

[bosshoss]

I left my house at 2:40 AM Saturday and drove to the show, and returned home that evening, totally exhausted.

I saw a Village Outcast for sale, a Swamp Rats "Louie Louie" was snapped up for not much. I bought only a whipped Sonics "Cinderella", and a nice Polystyrene Jass Band. I saw a Weeds on Teenbeat in G condition sell for $300.

Most people agreed attendance at the show was sparse, but for me, sales were OK.

The Village Outcast is incredibly hard to find. It was the 2nd last record I needed to complete BFTG 1-8. The last one was of course Just Too Much.

Was that a photo of "The Count" ? I haven't seen him in close to 25 years.

That's him. As you can see, he's changed a bit since last time you saw him.
He shaved his beard, though one half at a time. He was walking around for some time with one side of his face having a beard & mustache and the other clean shaven.

One thing hasn't changed. He's still counting his money.
A few years ago, I ran into him at a show for the first time in about ten years. He recognized me. I asked how he was. He replied, "Do you have any rare soul or r & b you can sell me?"
The way he remembered me was that 20 years before that, he sold me a Moving Sidewalks original.
