At some point, I hope to post a long list of links (A Long List of Links) to sites that specialize in vinyl LPs. This will be for you, dear readers. But also for me! I have been collecting the web addresses and adding them to a Favorites folder. If you know of some sites that offer great selections of LPs (new or used) and you want to help me go deeper into debt (just kidding, Clifton), please do share! Together we will build a database of all the World Wide Web's most alluring online stores. (Not
those kinds of stores! LP stores, you naughty naughties.)
Today I made a purchase at
Aural Exploits. Jeff Wong introduced me to the site. Just like me, it is dedicated to vinyl.
Rid Of Me, PJ Harvey's powerful and enthralling 1993 album, is now available on vinyl for the first time in I don't know how many years. Limited to only 500 copies, it is pressed on magnificent white vinyl and is exclusive to Aural Exploits. I clicked, I purchased. It was the smart thing to do. In fact, it had to be done.
You should do it, too.
Visit Aural Exploits for vinyl records from XL, Yep Roc, Matador, Secretly Canadian, Jagjaguwar, Vinyl Films, and many other excellent labels.
