WFMU !!! Black Gold has a table for Saturday, November, 23rd at the WFMU Record Fair! The fair will be at Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street in New York City. We have some really exciting things in store for this. Check it out:
One full table of rare and sought after Jazz, Soul, Rock, Disco, Indie, Punk, etc. We will have mostly LPs and 12″s but a few boxes of choice 45s will also be available. As always the records on the table will be in top shape, free of imperfections and priced to move. We are cracking into a collection of 3,000 records that have not yet been processed for the shop… don’t expect to see stuff you’ve seen already for sale in the shop. The stash looks insane.
Every crate that is underneath the table will be filled with records that will be $7.00 each. There will be anything from VG to VG+ thrash metal records to Microgroove Blue Notes, to private press soul, unofficial punk, rare folk, test presses, white labels, promos, etc. Records we’ve stashed all year for this. We’re hoping it causes a scene. Cheapskates and resellers, “you’re welcome” in advance.
ROCK YOUR BLACK GOLD TOTE BAG AT THE FAIR and instantly get 20% off at our table!!!
STAY TUNED this week for pictures of our BLACK GOLD BROOKLYN Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook page to see some sneak peeks of what to expect.
Our table will be in the back corner (as pictured below). Find us and have fun.
We Don’t Limit Delicious Cold Brewed Coffee To A Seasonal Perk! Enjoy our cold-brewed house blend and New Orleans style by Rook Roasters year-round. Also available year-round (but craved on those brisk evenings) is our house-made spiced hot chocolate!
Stroopwafels by The Good Batch are back with a new and improved recipe (we didn’t think they could get any better!).
Try A Slice Of Ovenly’s Pumpkin Olive Oil Bread… moist and just the right amount of sweet!
Black Gold Records Will Be Selling A Giant New Batch Of Records At The WFMU Record Fair. Stay tuned for more details on what we will be unveiling!
