Chapter one: " A nice neighbour donate his Vinyl collection to the Black Jim Gallery & the crew opens a second hand store as a reaction"

So this is the story...

Marty goes out to throw away the trash in a can on the backyard but when he open the container guess what he see? A whole collection LP´s...



Soon the neighbour that throw it away comes out and find Marty in the container.
He asks what he´s doing in there. "I´m collecting records..." Marty says.
"Oh" the neighbour says. "I just throw them away. But do you want them? They work perfectly". Marty says yes and jump down in the container again to pic up a whole Glenn Miller box, the soundtrack to Sound of Music and more obscyre records like Reigel with Pommefritz.



The neighbour later took us to the van where he had collected all kinds of stuff that he donated also to the Gallery. For example it was a air-cleaner, a clock, cups & also some Agatha Christie books in german and one book about Kung-Fu...



When everything was collected...and yes, some things thrown away again, Marty and Sofia started to put together a second hand store and also decorate the entrance with a new theme. "German schalger".



They put up a table and suddenly everyone started to check out the Gallery and the LP collection looking for there favourites.



After a couple of hours Sofia turned to Marty. "We´ve had people here the whole day. The hippsters where here. The turkish families. The hippies. The drunks. The nuns. The neighbours. Even a dog came in for a quick look and went out again. What is happening?"

It´s the "German Schlager" Marty says. We got a crazy nisch. Art and Schalger. It´s never been done before...



When the Gallery closed at 22 Marty got a new idea. He started to decorate his studio with not usuable LP´s.



Today the succes continues. Right now a german women looking at the Heino singles for her next DJ-set...
