Tom Porter: Vinyl Sale Is Sunday!

Jazz Guru Tom Porter just called. He wants to let Black Plastic Bag and our readers know that his next vinyl sale has been moved from this Saturday to this Sunday. “It’s jazz, jazz, jazz, Brazilian, Latin, Hip Hop, R and B, Funk, and classical,” Porter says. “It’s not the stuff that was out last week. It’s going to be at least 500 new pieces.”

The prices range from $1 and up. Porter’s going to try and keep the prices $5 to $10 max. He’ll have some Blue Note LPs! What artists? “That’s too hard,” Porter says. “I’m just going through my collection and pulling stuff out. It will be something for everybody.”

Location: 1453 Chapin Street (backyard).
Time: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Date: Sunday not Saturday. “I need more time to get ready,” Porter says.

Tom Porter: More Vinyl For Sale In My Backyard

This past weekend, Local Legend Tom Porter held a massive vinyl sale in his backyard. We hyped it.

Some of you complained that you missed out. Today, we are glad to report that Tom Porter is hosting another vinyl sale in his Chapin Street backyard (1435 Chapin Street NW). The sale will be on Saturday. We will have more details on this soon.

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.
