Eugene Record Convention

Got up this morning and left Portland at 6am to hit up the early admission to the Eugene Record Convention. To be honest I was expecting more, and don't get me wrong I found some good deals on a lot of records, but I was expecting a lot more rare stuff. Most of what I saw were things I could find in Portland. And the way it was talked up online I had the impression I could go in and check off everything on my list. Thought I would be swimming in Captain Beefheart which was not the case.

But here is a little recap of my finds.



Frank Zappa- Over-Nite Sensation 1973



Frank Zappa- Apostrophe 1974



Joe Walsh- But Seriously Folks 1978



Bob Dylan- Highway 61 Revisited 1965



Beatles- Rubber Soul 1965



Beatles- Abbey Road 1969



Yes- Yessongs 1973



Grateful Dead- American Beauty 1970



Jimi Hendrix- In the West 1972



King Crimson- In the Court of the Crimson King 1969



Return to Forever- Romantic Warrior 1976



Neil Young- Tonight's the Night 1975



Traffic- John Barleycorn Must Die 1970

So I guess it was a pretty successful trip and I shouldn't really complain. But what else is the internet for besides whining?
