Here we have Van Halen’s first, self-titled LP. This one is in great shape, though there is a little wear on it for sure – but for the title, it is better than many that I come across. This one, the cover shows a little bit of shelf wear/age – but...

Here is a copy of Janis Joplin’s I Got Dem Ol’ Kosmic Blues Again Mama! It is in great shape overall, but note there is some fairly pronounced ring wear to the front cover. You can see in the wax that there are no major scuffs or imperfections, nor are...

This is a copy of Abbey Road pressed on Japanese red vinyl. My uncle Hox, the namesake of this record business, picked it up in Viet Nam in 1969…so this one has seen some miles. The cover is worn, and the edges are splitting – the spine on it is about gone...

This is a link to the clip of the record playing…I did not allow my tube amplifier to warm up, so the fullest notes get a little loud – but the record’s quality, and the cleanness of the vinyl should be immediately clear....

OK – a total classic here for sale. This is referred to as the Butcher Cover in Second State – and it is a fine one indeed. A mono recording of Yesterday and Today, this one plays absolutely brilliantly – I am listening to it now, as I am typing...

OK – what we have here, are 2 different copies of Tuck and Patti’s LP, Tears of Joy on Windham Hill Records. Both of them appear to be label promos, and it makes sense, as I was managing a record store when it was released, and Windham was big on sending...

I was trying to figure out what to write about, regarding KISS. There are so many albums, and songs, and shows, and everything else that the possibilities were/are simply endless. Would it be something about their records? Would I delve into my personal fetish for...

This is a record I had stashed in my own piles of stuff – from back when I worked in a record store. We got it then, as an import when it was released – I took all the imports when I left the company in like 1989…this, among them. I never played it....
