Howdy friends, we have just posted a contest that will allow one winner to take advantage of a hundred dollar shopping spree at Vinyl Collective. Follow this link to the contest page. While there, study the image and make a list of every single record that you can identify. You can click the image to make it larger. I found 26 records. Let me know what you come up with. Good luck!

Vinyl Collective announces $3.00 All You Can Buy shipping!

It is with great excitement that we announce $3.00 All You Can Buy shipping! We realize that one of the hurdles with buying your vinyl online is the added cost of shipping those records to you. Records are heavy and if you want to buy more than a few, the shipping costs really add up. Not anymore! Now, no matter how many records you buy 1 or 1,000, you have the option of paying only $3.00 TOTAL for your shipping costs. Understand that this only applies to orders being shipped within the United States and understand that we are shipping those orders by Media Mail through the United States Postal Service. Media Mail generally takes 7 to 10 days for delivery. We will provide tracking/delivery confirmation to ensure you receive your package. You will still have the option of shipping your orders by Priority Mail if you are in a hurry, but if you are not, this is the best option out there.

For those of you in Canada or overseas, SORRY! We would love to offer a similar deal for you folks, but until the USPS offers less expensive rates to your countries, we just can’t.

Drag the River "Esta Loco" vinyl pressings!

The test pressings were recently approved and it is only a matter of a couple of weeks before we see the limited vinyl pressings of Drag the River’s latest album, “It’s Crazy”. The album has been renamed “Esta Loco” for this limited pressing and will be available as a one-time pressing of 1,000 copies. The release is available on light blue vinyl (200 copies), white vinyl (200 copies), and the remainder will be on black vinyl. The record will be pressed on 140-160 gram vinyl. So don’t waste too much time if you are interested in getting colored vinyl. We are selling the records individually or as a vinyl lot which includes all three colors.

What is Vinyl Collective?

Vinyl Collective is an exciting new project put together by your friends at Suburbban Home Records and Distribution. We have all been long-time vinyl fans and were thinking that there really aren’t a lot of stores that sell vinyl exclusively. We realize there isn’t nearly as much money in selling vinyl as there is in selling CDs or digital music, but we know that there are tons of people who are absolutely passionate about their vinyl collection. We have been working on a store and are slowly putting together an imprint that will seek out releases not available on vinyl. So far, we working on vinyl releases by Drag the River, Gatsby’s American Dream, Every Time I Die, and Fear Before the March of Flames. We have some other things that we are working on, but if you know of anything you think might be worth our efforts, please do not hesitate to let us know.

We have a lot of big plans for Vinyl Collective. If there is ever anything you want to see, please speak up. Thanks for your support.
