Resurrecting those 60s psychedelic posters from the basement last week also turned up a pile of late 70 this-and-thats. Like this first edition of VOLUME by the ARC director. We’ll have them at our next sale – June 8-23 – for 75% off the online/Amazonian/booksite prices. And if you join the ARC you get an invite to the pre-sale Party on June 6. That means food, drinks and early shopping. So help us in our preservation efforts and join the ARC via our fundraising campaign, Rebuilding the ARC. ARC is Americas largest + best music library – independent and housing more than 3 million recordings.

We’re saving everything – contribute to our campaign
In the past few months we’ve gotten 40,000 CDs from the estate of Richard Zirinsky; 987 CDs from Kurt Carrington; hundreds of LPs from The New School Libraries; 1,127 LPs from Sarah Weingarten; and 5,099 country LPs from the estate of Lloyd Oliver Pierson. We received 6,884 LPs from Sheila Langan and 16,836 CDs from Jeff Daniel. Ira Berger’s Jazz Archive donated so many things, including more than 500 jazz books and magazines and 2,000 oral history tapes. In the pipeline that we need to pick up and make room for are 32,000 LPs from the estate of Saul Nowitz, about 7,000 discs yearning for us in LA , and a great(?) collection of who-knows-what from Indiana University. This just in – an amazing treasure trove of Beatles’ magazines and French Beatles’ 45s + LPs.
That simple goal is to guarantee that the world’s musical heritage is preserved for future generations to study and enjoy. Visit ARC www.arcmusic.org/
