Greetings,

After 2 weekends of snow storms, last Saturday in Salt Lake City was shorts weather. Time for Spring Cleaning.

First spring in my newly renovated Smile-Jamaica Ark-Ive.

So nice to have all my black wax neatly organized by category:

• LP’s (Reggae separated from other formats)
• 10″
• 12″
• 7″
• Themes:
  • Christmas
  • Dub
  • Roots Dawtas
  • Halloween
  • Herb
  • Mutant Dub
  • Marley Tributes
  • Wailers Family Tree
  • UFOria

So I decided to celebrate Spring with one of my patented Vinyl rarities for sure-ty editions, Saturday March 10th

Run the tables!

From this:

To this:

bless, Bobbylon
