1,400 Jazz albums (new purchases) go into stock FRI, 6/20 at Great Escape Charlotte Ave

Hey, Jazz fans...

When we open at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, June 20th, The Great Escape's Charlotte Avenue Superstore will have an all-new selection of 1,400 LPs in our Jazz Latest Arrivals section.

This selection will include LPs from two different collections that we recently acquired. Both groups contain lots of obscurities and unusual records that we rarely run across.

One collection, among other things, features lots of Swing & Dance Style Music, much of it recorded in the 1930's and 1940's. There will also be many small label pressings, a large number of imports, and a considerable amount of sealed product. The condition is great on these, overall.

The other collection consists of mostly of 1980's vinyl, most of it small label pressings with lots of "off the beaten path" artists.

These LPs are priced to sell, with the majority of the records being offered at only 2.99 -3.99 each.

You won't want to miss this exciting vinyl extravaganza- so make plans to come see us on FRI, 6/20 at The Great Escape's Charlotte Avenue location.
