Finds at the Record Fair vol. 2

I found a near mint, original 10” of Snowball by the Field Mice on Sarah Records. It was one of those times when the dealer and myself locked eyes and we both knew I was having a CHIRP attack and that I would pay what he asked (it didn’t have a price).

From its plain artwork and the unadorned paper sleeve, the charm of Sarah records comes through even before the first listen. A fellow shopper next to me even said “oh, that’s a find!” I ran into a friend and vinyl dork at the fair and he called his buddy over so they could both look at it. anyway, it’s the songs that matter, right? They are pretty good too.
