As a model for a class project I’m having the kids in summer school do, I decided to map out my crate-digging excursions. The sites are not numbered in any particular order; I made them up as I thought of them. Of course, there are some stores whose names I didn’t remember, or that aren’t there any more. For instance, the store that used to be on Lancaster Avenue, where I bought my You’re Gonna Get Yours b/w Rebel Without A Pause 12″. That would DEFINITELY make the map. But anyway, I’m thinking I will keep this going and see how much of the country I can cover while buying records. I know there are some good spots between Philly and DC that need exploring. Not to mention that I need to get up to New York.
My challenge now is trying to find old school Gospel albums. Specifically, I’m looking for the Pray For Me album by the Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer Choir, among others.
