I am considering making the drive down to this in March and wondered if it is any good? I know Des Parker and a couple of others make the trip but wondered what the show is like after all the dealers have done their pre-show trades etc.

 

I have a couple of boxes of cheapies and will probably bring them with me. I am not expecting to find anything major but would like to think I can come away with a handful of decent things for my collection.

i have always wanted to make this show but never have, last few reports i've got from people have been underwhelming.....

Well, they would say that, wouldn't they?! 

I went 2 or 3 years on the trot & other than the social side (there are quite a few Brits etc there), i wasn't that impressed, i always came away with summat, but nothing to write home about really....

I was hoping to go last year, but sadly didn't.I have it on good authority.northern soul wise, deals are done outside, and in hotel lobbys, but you need good contacts, sorry, I  cannot supply.

Thanks all, it is about 7 hour drive so I really wanted to know if it was worth it as just a paying punter through the doors.  Hotels would be done through air miles so just taxes to pay and petrol money

 

I am not expecting to find any thing major but I am happy with a handful of bits and bobs to add to my collection. Just enjoy spending a few hours looking through boxes and chatting about records really.

 

Apart from 2 or 3 shows a year the Canadian ones have really dropped off. Did Buffalo a couple of times but was not really impressed.

 

How about Albany, Rochester shows?
