Vinyl Shop Spotlight-Anthony's Music

 

I know what you're thinking, wasn't the last post I made about a place called "Anthony's Music"? Yes, that's correct. Actually, the Anthony from the previous post opened this "brick and morter" but later decided he enjoy's slinging vinyl at the flea market a lot more. So, the good news is this spot continued on with a new owner, Courtney, and he got that heat! The dollar bins were filled with rap and disco 12"s of which I took home a nice healthy stack. Lot's of soul, rap, and gospel Lp's lined the walls and most music related videos and documentaries can be found here too. Located in the town of Riverdale, Anthony's music is a must visit if you are in the Atlanta area. 

 

 

Courtney has a huge stash of cassettes from every genre of music and I found a lot of classic titles to add to my already huge tape collection.

 

My come-up.

Vinyl Shop Spotlight - Anthony's Music & Videos

 

This is my main man Anthony. I've been buying records from this guy since the 90's when I would go to Atlanta to visit family a few times a year. Anthony runs his spot out of the Southside Discount Swap Meet. This is a true "digging" spot. You never know what you might find in this place because Anthony constantly buys collections. I picked up a nice stack of ATL random rap 12"s, some nice soul LP's, and a goldmine of mixtapes and I can't forget to mention a live concert on dvd of Maze f/ Frankie Beverly. I'm glad that after all these years, I can still find gems at this spot. Thanks Anthony!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Diggers Delight-Transporter Vintage/Retro

My favorite part of Atlanta is "Little Five Points". This is a super cool area of small funky independent businesses. I almost walked by this incredible shop without seeing it and that would have been a crime. Welcome to Transporter! I try to make it a habit to check out the local toys shops whenever I'm out of town and let me tell you, this is one of the coolest shops I have ever visited. I was shocked at the collection of classic toys they had from my childhood. It was as if I was looking at my own collection(my collection is pretty impressive btw). Erik, the owner was mad cool and knows his stuff. Warning! This spot is for the professional collector and those who possess the ultimate amount of coolness and is a must visit if you are ever in the Atlanta area. You can thank me later.    

Atlanta Record & CD Show

 

I haven't been to a record show of this size inside of a hotel since I moved from Milwaukee back in the late 90's. Lots of vendors and lots of vinyl. So since I'm in the "A" I had to grab up the homie Oxygen, (Yes,that Oxygen.) and headed up to the show.  I didn't score anything super heavy but I was able to grab a few treats. I can't wait to get back to this show!
