Bi-Annual Allentown Record Show

On Saturday, March 20, 2010, I hit up the twice a year record show in Allentown, PA with my good friend and fellow record collector, Bob Bosco. I played some of the records on my show 2 weeks ago, but I figured I'd share what I purchased for those that are curious. Some of these records I've been playing since the beginning of my career on radio, but never had a copy on 45. These are all original press 45's. Here we go!
