Made my 1st trip to Jerry's in Pittsburgh today...

As a celebration for my pending official entry into geezer hood (my 60th B-day on the 31st) my father drove me, along with my brother and oldest sister, to Jerry's Records in Pittsburg. Once into the city, we first we stopped at The Church Brew Works on liberty Avenue for some excellent beer and food. Very interesting brewery as it is actually inside a beautifully restored 1903 church. A couple of the brew kettles are even built upon the alter, where one could literally worship at the alter of the hops.
Next stop was Jerry,s on Murry ave. First impressions were overwhelming. Floor to ceiling records as far I the eye can see(and even in the mens room). Not too badly organized though as it wasn't too hard to zero in on the different types of music I was looking for on this trip. I was also pretty impressed with the quality of the stock and Jerry's very fair prices.
We spent about 1 1/2 hrs. going through the stacks before we had to leave.
Found the following: All for $60.00 OTD.
Bags & Trane-Milt Jackson & John Coltrane(Atlantic 1368). Sealed Rhino reissue

Night Train:The Oscar Peterson Trio(Verve V6-8538 Nice VG++ copy

Dexter Gordon-Homecoming/Live at the Village Vangaurd(Columbia PG34650) Very nice WLP copy.

Gerry Mulligan-Paris Concert(Pacific Jazz) Solid VG+

Oscar Peterson-Keyboard(Verve 2047)VG++

Alan Stivell-Celtic Symphony(Rounder Records) M- 2 record set. I like Celtic music and decided to take a chance here.

Tannahill Weavers-The Old Woman's Dance(Plant Life Records). Tannahill weavers are one of my favorite Celtic bands. Never seen this LP before. Mint minus.

Clannad-Sirius

Steeleye Span-Live at Last(Chrysalis REcords. Mint minus

Andy Stewart,Phil Cunningham,Mannus Lunny-Fire In The Glen(Shanachie 79062)
