We open at 9AM for @recordstoredayus tomorrow. We know many of you will be getting here a little earlier than that, so coffee will be provided while you wait. Thanks so much to the unparalleled Angel Falls Coffee Company for providing. Also get here early to grab one of these free buttons made by our pal @350125.go There are plenty to go around but a couple of these designs are pretty limited.
RSD week (ish) hours. Please note some wild deviations from the normal schedule.
Some new ones. And lots of back in stocks for the weekend
Some recent restocks of note
last day of the 20% off sale. all used items are 1/5th off the marked price. still some gems to be had
We’ve got big plans for April. But before we get started, help us clear some space. All used records and CDs are 20% off today and tomorrow. Starting next week we will be loading up the bins with a lot of new vinyl (plenty of rare items.) It all leads up to the main event, which is Record Store Day on April 23rd. Plenty more surprises throughout the month.
Some of the many new arrivals that have hit the shelves these last couple weeks
Feels good to have “new releases” from some dearly departed friends today
Sometimes they come back
Looking for a turntable? We’ve got two very nice models from the early 1980s right now. Fully refurbished by our friend Jeff. These are set up and ready to go right away. He even provided a detailed rundown of the refurbishing steps along the way. Feel free to DM with any questions
The @recordstoredayus list is out there. Tell us what you like. Orders will be going in soon. What do you want to see in the shop on April 23? List can be viewed on the Record Store Day website.
