A great book about a trailblazing, Black artist, Sister Rosetta Sharp!

People come from all over the world to our show! At the November show, we were joined by Michael and Sebastian. Michael Hurtt is a collector from Detroit and co-wrote the book (with Billy Miller) called Mind Over Matter: The Myths and Mysteries of Detroit’s Fortune Records. His friend Sebastian, originally from New York, lives in Stockholm (his mother is Danish) and collects vintage records and clothes from the 50s and sells them back in Sweden.

Michael and Sebastian pictured with Janet below.

We spotted so many great holiday finds of all kinds that would make perfect gifts including arguably one of the best Christmas albums ever, A Swinging Christmas by Ella Fitzgerald.
