After a week away from vinyl records, we are back on it again today. Here’s a little glimpse of how we photograph our album covers.

Towards the end of last month, the annual Farm-Aid concert took place in Indiana. The purpose of Farm-Aid is to help provide help to struggling farmers here in the US. In 1985, during the Live-Aid concert, Bob Dylan was performing a set on stage with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. During the set, while addressing the crowd, Dylan suggested that it would be great if there would be a Live-Aid type event for US farmers… and Farm-Aid was born. Going back to last month’s Farm-Aid, 20 bands had already performed, 12 hours of music done, and the last act was leaving the stage the stage went black. As the stage lights slowly brightened, Bob Dylan was standing at the mic with The Heartbreakers backing him. Dylan did 3 songs and left the stage, never addressing the crowd. Bob Dylan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988.

I’m grateful that I get to listen to music all day as my job. I’m grateful that people choose to buy from us. We’d love if everybody bought everything we list but that’s not going to stop us from making fun of some of the items that we sell. This is a Beach Boys 2 record album called High Water but instead of going into a studio and recording 2 records, the just took 2 albums that they already had for sale… retitled the set and put them in this jacket. They didn’t even bother to create new stickers, as you can see from the picture hahaha. To make things worse, one of the records is stereo, the other one is mono… and to top that off, they did make a stereo recording for the Good Vibrations album, just chose not to use that one. This is so silly…PS Please buy it
