wheresmyjuice Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Dear Vinyl Collective Members, With two other friends, I'm starting a record store in Brooklyn that is opening this Saturday the 24th. It's going to be new and used vinyl shop with a wide range of genres. The store will be rooted in rock, but there will be a lot of funk and soul, blues, punk, jazz, tropicalia, gospel, and more. Our inventory was built over the course of the past few months of purchasing collections and acquiring individually hand picked inventory in a humble attempt to put together a quality store for people to pick from. This site has been a great resource for me intermittently for years. Whenever I'm around, there's always great communication between users. Years ago I learned about the Hot Topic super sales through here. I've also bought a VC Votolato release and even got to start my own little tiny label and press my own records. I would've never been able to do ANY of that without this website. From tip to tail that How To Press A Record thread was my main resource and it allowed me to put out a record, on color vinyl, and source each individual component of the process to make it as inexpensive as possible. I don't care how many people bought it...That was f'ing amazing. We want to give back. We'd like to have a PRIVATE VC ONLY PREOPENING SALE 2 HOURS BEFORE THE STORE OPENS TO THE PUBLIC. Store opens at high noon. If you live in the area and are available Vinyl Collective members only are allowed first dibs at brand new store inventory from 10 AM - 12 PM SATURDAY. I don't know how many of you would be interested but any of you are welcome. Come to the counter and mention the secret word 'Jabroni' and get 10% off. Hope to see some of you then. If you do come by please introduce yourself. Travis Human Head 168 Johnson Ave Brooklyn, NY 11206 www.humanheadnyc.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agreetodisagree Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I purchased one of your eBay listings that funded the opening. Best of luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheresmyjuice Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Best of luck dude. I am working in a brand new record store that opened recently in my area, it was slow going at first but growing steadily. What's the store? You have a t-shirt? I'm actually working on a store t-shirt wardrobe which is nothing but showing off other record stores. However what I really want to collect is XL t-shirts of record stores that no longer exist.

eight1echo Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 https://www.facebook.com/tazbedford It's a second location of a store that's been in the city for 30 years. We actually just got new shirts made, I could probably send you one for the cost of shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
