Daily travels - Archive of Contemporary Music record sale



Just in case you were wondering what the sale at the Archive of Contemporary Music might be like, or what the prices are, or whatever...I thought I might share with you the few things I picked up last night at the members-only sale party which always takes place the Thursday evening before the traditional open-to-the-public Saturday. Here's what I bought, grouped by price. Nothing astoundingly rare, but some good, solid purchases. If I had more money I could have easily spent more:
