Above are Chad and Patty setting up our great show in March. With Easter on the third Sunday this year, the next show will be a week later – on April 27th. Spring has finally sprung with the return of our great vendors and special finds. We came across this one below. A classical album, Ravel’s “Daphnis and Chloe” contains book pages with early work by Andy Warhol who contributed illustrations. One of our longtime vendors, John Wood had this great find. All our vendors have something special and different.
See you in April!
Before Andy Warhol became a famous modern artist, he did illustrations for record albums like this one for a recording of Ravel’s “Daphnis and Chloe.
Join us for our pre-St. Patty’s Day show, Sunday, March 16. We are sure you’ll have “the luck of the Irish” in finding some great deals and treasures from our wonderful vendors. Records, CDs, books and specialty items will be available. Put some green on and see you there!
Do you want to find a remedy for cabin fever? Come to our Valentine’s weekend show for some great deals and finds. The snow has been cleared and all our great vendors will be there. See you this Sunday, 9 am to 3 pm!
If there is one thing that is universal, it is love. It won’t be long until February will bring that special day honoring love – Valentine’s Day. Nothing describes romance like a love song and most songs are about love – all kinds of love. First love, young love, unrequited love, a second chance at love, breaking up and making up, broken hearts and that indescribable feeling when you have found “the one.” We asked our vendors to tell us their favorite love songs and also found some great album covers in the process. If you think that the fellas aren’t romantic, well, we also heard a few love stories too!
Let us know what YOUR favorite love song is and see you in February!
Derek Shaw and one of his classic albums!
Our great announcer and vendor at every show is Derek Shaw (above). He has a wonderful story. When Derek went to college he told his girlfriend that she should date other people because he didn’t think it was fair that she sit home while he was away. Unfortunately she misunderstood and thought he was breaking up with her. As DJ for his college radio station in Ohio, he played Precious and Few by Climax and dedicated it to his girl back in Pittsburgh whenever he was spinning the tunes at the station. Ironically she never knew because it was a local station and couldn’t listen. Time passed and Derek recently reconnected with his sweetheart. At his college reunion, he played the song for her as he did so many years before.
Heart cover but not the group!

The leaves are turning and there is a nip in the air. Soon the holidays will be upon us. Great time to get a jump on the crowds and find that special music-related gift for that special someone – or even for yourself! A T-shirt or sweatshirt with a favorite record label? A great album that brings back memories? Join us this Sunday and shop all of our great vendors. See you there!
Some holiday humor!
Fall (and football) is here and the leaves are starting change. Our vendors are ready to present lots of great finds for the next show. So before the big game on Sunday come to the Arbutus Record Show and score some great music deals. Look what a Ned Boyle found last month from one of our fabulous vendors – The Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl album!
Last month’s show was a great success. It was nice to see all of our wonderful vendors and buyers after the July hiatus and we even stumbled on a love story – or two. But more about that later. Join us this Sunday, September 15 and hunt for music treasures across all genres and media. Here are some of the great finds from the August show!
