WPSU Record Sale

Anyone go to this on Saturday? I did, got some great stuff like a Dickie Betts album (never played it looks like), an awesome live Rory Gallagher (love that song Moonchild), Roy Buchanan Livestock, that Phil Spector-produced Christmas album (don't laugh its supposed to be a classic) in perfect condition, and a sort of weird Spirit album (Randy California was a great name for a rock star especially when Jimi Hendrix names you that when you're a star-struck kid with a guitar backstage) others I can't remember right now. I liked this sale because there were so many obscure records there, not the same old crap.

I had learned about this sale the day before from the folks at Arboria Records, but already had stuff going on for Saturday and couldn't attend. Probably just as well, I probably would have spent most of my next paycheck there (I usually buy at least 4 or 5 used vinyl albums at Arboria every month when I deliver magazines there).

Wasn't Spirit the band that Jimmy Page ripped the Stairway riff from?

Never heard that, but they are an old band, its possible. They did 'Nature's Way' and 'I Got a Line on You'. The guitarist Randy California, besides being named by Hendrix, was a hero by saving his young son's life (drowning in the surf in Hawaii) and he died doing it.
