brillwill Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 some of my most favorite records came from UO / hot topic in the early 2000s. I'm looking at you, yeah yeah yeahs s/t. still the best picture disc I own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74R Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 This doesn't affect me because I don't shop at this shitty store that steals artists work. Someone down voted this? They're pretty well known for it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/05/26/urban-outfitters-steal_n_867604.html http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2013/11/urban_outfitters_stealing_designs_glam-trash.php http://www.cnbc.com/id/43225662 http://boycotturbanoutfitters.tumblr.com/ http://supersonicart.com/post/58798461913/mallory-rose-vs-ashkahn http://action.sumofus.org/a/urban-outfitters/ There's quite a few more.

drds89 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 you just never know where some decent stuff will show up! pawn shops, estate sales, ...maybe even ... UO... So if you have the time and a location nearby, why not stop in? I live an hour + from most anything. But I wouldn't do a mail order from them. +1 before lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Bash UO all you want, it shouldn't be the first place you go to buy records I've had the best experience with UO, probably because it's a smller boutique wanna be version. Found My Bloody Valentine Plain Records 03 for 9.99$ & Lou Reed for 9.99$ and they do have cool variants time to time, I've got that Twin Shadow OJ translucent and they also had the Sky Ferreira green variant which a bunch of us group bought when they had the spend 150 get 50$ off which ultimately saved us like 7$-10$ bucks off the record shipped, just had to go out and fish for it. They even took in damaged vinyl for an exchange. God, I hate you. nothingnatural 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psus2h Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 You cant group HT and UO together. HT has their shit together, UO doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'll go in there when I know there's an exclusive UO variant available. Grabbed CHVRCHES on red and Sky Ferreira on green that way. Wish I'd been aware back when the M83 variant was easy to find. That said, many MANY beat-up records in those bins. Almost as if vinyl is not their primary concern!!

museummouth Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Back in the day UO used to mark vinyl on clearance down so much. Every few months they'd mark down a ton of stuff to $10 or below. I don't think they've marked anything down in years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letseatchairs Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I hate the way they treat the vinyl there. I've noticed this as well Also half of it is opened but it's unplayed so they still charge you full price. seriously is that even an ok thing to do? it isn't sealed so it should be like $10 instead of $23 because how do I know it really hasn't been played and nobody took something out? also all of those poor records sitting on crosleys scratched to death make me sad I want to ask if I can have them for art but they probably need them to show what buying a crosley does to your records. also why is Haim $30??? does it come with something other than records?? a 2lp that isn't super fancy should be like $25 not 30 unless it's like 200 gram or some shit. I just hate how vinyl prices have gone up in the past 5 years. I bought an album in 2009 for $12 and that same album is now $22 at the exact same store. I just hate how they handle it. there isn't enough shelf space so they cram everything else underneath it which makes it impossible to look through and it's impossible to find anything there and nobody seems to know anything about music that isn't played to death. aka ok here's our millions copies of haim and iconapop (totally not hating on either) but I don't know who built to spill is kinda thing. /rant whose_thare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Letseatchairs Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I only buy from them when I wait to long to return something and have store credit or they have a pretty dress on sale, somehting unicorn related, LPs on sale or UO exclusive ones by bands I like. Also they play of Montreal there sometimes which makes me happy. half of their t shirts are straight rip offs of threadless designs and same goes for hot topic (just talking about t shirts here). like can we not steal artists work please??

Santa Bateman Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Ive only been to once UO in Dallas. No UO where I live but the vinyl was placed pretty well. Overpriced but placed pretty well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourfourtwo Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Last time I was in an Urban Outfitters, they had a copy of MBV for $40 cover ripped. I tried to ask if they would bring the price down since it was opened and damaged but the dude at the front was like NAH BRO I CAN GIVE YOU 5% OFF NO RETURNS OR EXCHANGES.

A respectable local record store opens some records but still sells it at new, because they might've played it in the store like once on a $5,000 table haha. Reckless Records also sells records that aren't sealed too. I'd prefer a record to be sealed, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's not in new condition. I've noticed this a lot among record stores, although a record being sealed is more profitable for people trying to sell it for more than retail I suppose. A lot of RFC and Topshelf releases don't come sealed if they weren't intended for retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicFade Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 I've gotten packages from them, but have also experienced how tightly packed they are in-store. I'd stick to buying from their website if I was going to buy records from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
