While we are still in the planning stages, showing/comparing rare film music collectibles and memorabilia often is a quite satisfying part of such collector get-togethers.
Are there any "requests" related to film music: autographs, LPs, CDs, 78s, 45s, photos, sheet music, etc. that I might lug in from central-western New Jersey for the gathering to see?
Depending on whether there are any requests, I might drive in to the city rather than juggle a bunch of stuff on a crowded commuter train.

Oh Dan, now there's a memory. I regularly haunted the Princeton Record Exchange from their early "skinny" store first location in the early 1980s to their current expanded location. I was mock-affectionately nicknamed "Dr. Soundtrack" by the back room stock guys. When they bought a collection from a deceased show/soundtrack collector, from a downsized radio station, or from some other commercial or academic source, I got an early alert phone call to get in there fast for "first dibs" (what's a "dib," anyway). This was rather sad for me sometimes, as some of these New York City collectors I knew and traded with. It was in the days before there was a treatment for AIDS. I felt a little guilty-but-also-glad that at the same time I was giving the records of a deceased soundtrack colleague a good home. The soundtracks were not for bargain prices, mind you, but were reasonably-priced for pretty rare stuff. I would sometimes get a call at my office in the middle of patient hours that a primo collection had just come in and I should get over there fast. Talk about motivation to get done fast!
I don't have the time like I did when my kind were little and attended the Princeton Montessori School. Before picking them up, I could swing over there every day for a quick look if I had the time.
Nowadays at the exchange, vinyl is much less. CDs are still their main business, but DVDs (new and used) have become really big. Rock prevails. Soundtrack section is pretty common, with occasional "whoopee" exceptions when a new batch of used CDs comes in. They often stock "oddball" rock-compilation CDs or promo/DJ copies of same that you won't see elsewhere. I still stop in every couple of months to see what's what, but most of the veteran staff that I knew have moved on and been turned over to young kids with multiple tattoos and piercings and who have no idea who John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith are. Ben still works there, but only one or two days a week. Ben you could talk soundtracks with.

TO THOR- I believe it is still there. In that neighborhood there is a store that sells movie posters, been there for decades, you will get a kick out of it.I am trying to think of the name of it , it starts with an O.---JERRY, SOMETHING. About a decade ago down the block from the CHELSEA there was a restaurant that originally was called GODZILLA SUSHI, [but the legal guys from what I heard change that] down went the sign and up went MONSTER SUSHI.
You are speaking of Jerry Ohlinger's Movie Material Store.
