Wayne;s World Treasure had very humble beginnings in the small towns of North East Pennsylvania. Wayne Sorbelli, at the time a local guitarist and university student started selling used CD’s out of a duffel bag around campus. From there Wayne went on to found Wayne’s World Music selling guitars, drums, and teaching music lessons. To celebrate Wayne and ISLAND GUITAR’S humble beginnings, Wayne’s World Treasure is now selling highly collectable vinyl records, CD’s, and Rock-N-Roll memorabilia in Dallas Pennsylvania and Key West Florida.

I don’t just BUY-SELL-TRADE guitars, records, music and Rock’N'Roll Collectables – I PLAY THEM!!!  I LOVE playing the guitars I have for sale AND spinning my vinyl collection (or the store’s lol). TODAY I head for the reggae section!

I come from the time (late 1970′s- early 1980′s) when the only way to hear new releases and songs by our favorite artists was to BUY them on record or cassette tape (record ALWAYS sounded better!) By having to buy the full length record instead of just one song (aside from the one or two single releases from a full length album), you would often discover songs that you may have never listened to otherwise – and very often, the tracks on the record that did not make favorite pick at first listen, would later become some of my favorite songs by those artists!

Time for some Bob Marley

 

Wayne’s World Music celebrates sweet 16th birthday!! ROCKING Dallas, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton PA and Key West FL!!

Wayne's World Music Treasure celebrates 16th BirthDay

Wayne’s World Music Treasure celebrates 16th BirthDay

We opened our first music store on April 1st 1997 on Main Street, Pittston, Pa – now we have one in Dallas, Pa, Poconos, Pa (serving the Wilkes-Barre Scranton areas) and Key West, Florida

Before we opened the store in 1997 we vended (buy-sell-trade) for a few years at collector’s fairs and music treasure hunting conventions as a hobby, turned obsession, “my precious”  LOL  – then “the hobby” needed a store front and full-time operation to sustain it’s appetite LOL ,,,,,,,,,,,,, then “the hobby” grew – the music collectables quickly merged with my other obsessions  ,,,,,, video games ,,,, and GUITARS !!  ROCK-N-ROLL !!   \,,/-    -\,,/  

“Feeling Nostalgic. Our first business card…1997! Before websites, Facebook, those scanner squares etc….Note that we were business partners before getting married! Also that area codes weren’t used because hardly anyone had cell phones!!!” – Jamie Sorbelli

Breaking Benjamin early ticket stub on display @ Wayne’s World Treasure & RARE music finds

Breaking Benjamin RARE ticket stub from "The Staircase"

Breaking Benjamin RARE ticket stub from “The Staircase”

My mind goes straight back to the “early days” when I look through ticket stubs from “The Staircase” lounge in Pittston, Pa when you could see the now multi-platinum selling Breaking Benjamin in a 2000 seat venue, just a few blocks from the original Wayne’s World Music Store LOL!  Now you can catch a glimpse back through the music scene in NEPA simply through going through some of my personal stash of  “tri-state” ticket stubs, stories, autographs, photos, set lists and kick ass Rock-N-Roll collections in the area from some of the area most known (and totally unknown) venues from Philadelphia’s Electric Factory, to MSG in NYC!!!

When, What and Where is Record Store Day???

Record Store Day (420) April 20, 2013 - Wayne's World Treasure, Dallas, Ps

Record Store Day (420) April 20, 2013 – Wayne’s World Treasure, Dallas, Pa

Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.  April 20, 2013

The original idea for Record Store Day was conceived by Chris Brown. It was founded in 2007 by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner as a celebration of the culture and “rock-n-roll” lifestyle surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the USA, and hundreds of similar stores internationally.

This is the one day that all of the independently owned record stores come together with artists to celebrate the art of music. Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances.

Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, djs spinning records and on and on.

Metallica officially kicked off Record Store Day at Rasputin Music in San Francisco on April 19, 2008 and Record Store Day is now celebrated the third Saturday every April.

Wayne Sorbelli of Island Guitar Key West

Wayne Sorbelli of Island Guitar Key West

I LOVE pirate treasure!! I’ve been following Mel Fisher’s career my entire life and have always been amazed by pirates and especially pirate treasure!

It turns out that Mel Fisher’s Grandson has the same kind of love, but for guitars – so we like to trade with each other – guitar treasures for Mel Fisher’s pirate treasures.

In the photo above I’m wearing a coin that was sunk on the Atocha in 1622 and discovered by Mel Fisher in July 20, 1985.

Like Mel Fisher would say – “Today’s the Day”
