Lost Colony...
I didn't realize Colony Records was still open until I saw this article which ironically discusses its plans to close. I used to passed by it all the time when I lived in New York (usually on my way to the NY Times). Although I can't remember what album I bought, I did shop there at least once and saved the paper bag (above) because of the out of date, but great logo graphics that they were still using.

Tuned In...




You can almost hear the static coming through the tinny( and tiny) speakers. Once cutting edge technology, these retro transistor radios have a warmth and appeal you just can't match with a I-Pod or smart phone. A few more can be viewed here.

Retro Record Sleeves...
















I found these 45 sleeves years ago outside of an old record store in NYC. Being long forgotten vinyl (and labels) they had been tossed to the curb. I grabbed what I could, but left most of the warped vinyl behind. Flickr set.Take a look at this collection of 45 adapters.
