Old-Time Radio Treasure Hunt in the Big Apple

This past Saturday me and my wife ventured out to the New York City in search for treasure. Now to my wife a treasure is a good purse deal, or some sort of clothing deal floating around somewhere down by Canal Street. But in my eyes a treasure is buried in an old record store. Every time I visit the city I gotta float around the village. It's filled with lots of culture, good foods, friendly people, and of course it's unique record shops. This time I found myself at Bleeker Bob's on West 3rd street in the village. This place is heaven for a person who is a collector of any kind of records, cd's, or musical memorabilia. I was in there for a good hour browsing the enormous selection this place has to offer. When I started coming across the 40's and 50's section I started to find myself in old-time radio heaven!! I have been on the search for old-time radio records for years now. I find them online from time to time and there are a bit over priced. Well in excitement I bought everything I can get my hands on. I spent roughly around 75 dollars, but I thought to myself when am I gonna get the opportunity to find all these gems in one place again. So I jumped on the deal. Unlike the music stores in the malls you really never know what you gonna find in an independently owned music store. Piles and piles of record there are never ending possibilities in places like Bleeker Bobs. Here is some pictures of my recent purchases!
