USED VINYL ALERT:

For this week (and next), Thursday is the new Friday and our fresh used LPs will hit the floor at 10AM on Thursday. 

This week is appropriately hearty. Records sure have been there for us this year, and it's been a real pleasure to connect them to their forever homes. In that spirit, we've got a real rising tide of LPs this week that oughta put us all over the top. Some very rare and collectible Beatles LPs are in, plus we've got rare blues, enough foundational jazz albums to build a small community, thorough runs of country, soul, 70s glam and pop gems, plus great reggae, 80s/90s dance, hip hop, and metal.

Oft-requested names this time of year have been reinforced! Dolly Parton, Abba, Elton John, Queen, Kiss, ELO, the Bee Gees, the Rolling Stones, Joni Mithcell, Neil Young, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac (yes, the Ocean Spray guy record is here), David Bowie, Buffalo Springfield, the Kinks, Black Sabbath, Van Halen, Tom Waits, the Eagles, Tim Buckley, all here in lavish quantities!

Only the word epic describes the jazz on hand this week. Prestige, Impulse, Blue Note, Pausa, Inner City, and CTI gems abound, plus a host of more obscure trios and quartets for the intrepid digger. Early pressings are here from John Coltrane, Abdullah Ibrahim, Yusef Lateef, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Keith Jarrett, Max Roach, Jaco Pastorius, Jmmy Smith, MJQ, Bill Evans, Pharaoh Sanders and more.

Blues albums include Son Seals, Leadbelly, Bessie Smith, John Mayall, and Screamin Jay Hawkins. Country is well repped with LPs from Billie Joe Shaver, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Emmylou Harris, Patsy Cline, Waylon Jennings, the Highwaymen, Loretta Lynn, Appaloosa, and Dolly! We've got soul from Isaac Hayes, Marlena Shaw, Donna Summer, the Ink Spots, Tower of Power, Bill Withers, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye. Big ones from the rap world come from Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, the Beasties, Shabazz Palaces, MIA, and more. We've got a cool run of 90s electro, trance, and house deep cuts, soundtracks, exotica, Devo, Helen Merrill, and just about everything else in between.
