A bit of our history
In 1969 we set up shop in the back of a head shop in Rochester NY. Our inventory fit on a small folding card table. In 1971 we moved to Oakland CA and began buying and selling at the legendary Oakland flea market. A few years later we opened our first solo store in New Port Beach CA. By the 1978 we had moved to Oregon and operated 5 stores, most centered around the college town of Eugene.
In 1985 we sold our stores. But we kept enough vinyl and collectible items to fill a 42' semi truck. We had over 250,000 pieces many of which were kept in our "vault" and not accessible to the general public. Our albums have been in storage since 1985! Many rare hard to find pieces.
Now after almost 45 years later (rpms around the earth) we are making available the remaining albums. Many of these are from the owner(s) personal collections.

5000 Sealed Import LPs
500 Sealed Domestic LPs
