Massive Vinyl Sale Tomorrow!

I know you lost your 401K. Times are hard. The stock market is currently going all screwy. It’s time to invest in the one thing that never loses its value: Vinyl LPs.

Legendary Jazz Hero Tom Porter is hosting a massive vinyl sale in the back of his house located at 1435 Chapin Street NW. The sale is on Saturday (tomorrow!) from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. and will include jazz, soul, and hip-hop vinyl, posters, books, CDs, and clothes.

Porter will be selling tons of vinyl and will be joined by two more sellers. So make plenty of time in your schedules for some serious crate digging. I was over at Porter’s house last night and got to peek at his records. I saw plenty of Charlie Parker, Roy Ayers, Nina Simone, and so on. Much of his stash will be selling for $2, $3, Porter says. Also, expect to see a few Blue Note LPs as well! (I spotted a mint Grant Green).

Feeling down about the financial mess? “Help is on the way,” Porter says.

So show up!
