Visited today, starting a little after the early admission for nerds and dealers. Most folks were still getting set up, better show than the last one I went to a few years ago, bigger, more quality dealers. One guy from LA had all the big uber prog/psych records from the UK/Italy/Germany, of course not cheap, but he had quite a deep inventory (of course, not the record on my list, but why would anyone go to a Texas record show looking for a relatively obscure british record?). Lot's of psych, some jazz, some real western and country stuff, which I have very little depth in. One dude had a table with a box labelled "Metal-Punk." Next to it was a box labelled "Punk-Metal." I guess there are nuances to this.
I did see a great T-shirt, though. Ammo Supply House. I'm buying one for my wife for her trip back to NY. Will probably visit End of the Ear's relatively new location (new to me, anyway since they moved from South Congress sometime before I got back to Texas). It was a very good store, all used, bought a Decca Headline there for 10 bucks that was unplayed, still in the original outer bag. More later.
