Welcome to CHAIRMAN RALPH

Nothing beats the feeling of sliding that elusive book, CD or record into your grasp! Having spent years in similar searches, I know the feeling well, and cater accordingly! I'm an author, collector and performer with 20-plus years of experience in the secondhand trenches. I grew up during the late '70s/early '80s groundswell of punk and alternative rock, from London, to New York, Minneapolis and beyond, so much of my collecting and selling tastes reflect that...but I'm also partial to blues, instrumental and '60s/'70s proto-punk...among other things! The same philosophy holds true for the books I sell, so that old saying ("Nobody cares about yesterday's papers") doesn't cut any ice around here! If it's off the beaten track, I sell it. All items come from my archives, or picked up during my travels, so you're dealing with someone who knows what he sells, and stands behind it (with free inserts and press clippings, to boot!). Fast shipping, friendly service and freebies w/an international flair: that's been our motto from day one. Give us a try...you never know what you might find around here! Look for additional updates and revisions as 2008 slips into memory, and greets 2009!
