Upcoming Hot Topic Releases


Recommended Posts

Travis,

 

I know store space is tight... but with all the amazing vinyl you work on putting out... is there any thought to giving these releases a respectable space in the stores.  A lot of the time, after hunching down in the middle of the store looking like Sméagol searching for a stupid ring... I find what I'm looking for... But it's in less than "precious" condition. Or the staff hasn't put out the new releases because of limited space.

 

Just a thought.

This always just boils down to the staff. When my local store had a manager that was big into vinyl they kept everything neat, organized and in good shape. He transferred to another store and it's been shit ever since. I don't buy anything there now unless it just came in and hasn't touched their sales floor yet.

Theres only one hot topic around me that sells vinyl. Luckily I've been able to acquire all the releases I've wanted except for dawn of the dead. They told me the closest store in the district was about 2 hours away and I was a little confused as to why he couldn't offer to ship it to their store for me.

The Hot Topic by me has the vinyl in a crate, on the floor, in the back corner and only every about 15-20 records out at a time. Again, limited selection and barely any new releases. I too would like to lobby for all Hot Topics having some kind of respectable space for vinyl. 

I was at an Urban Outfitters the other day and they have a visible wall dedicated to sorted and clean vinyl with a great selection of older and newer. 

This is why I resort to mainly HT online purchases.

I've also been to UOs that have just garbage storage, though. Neither of these places are record stores, and they don't know how to treat records.

Agreed. I was just saying that the UO by be has a nice setup. It was very similar to this:

As opposed to HT where there were 20 records in a crate on the floor.
