We open at 8AM on Friday November 25th, 2022 – BLACK FRIDAY!
We will have RSD Black Friday items; the ones we’ll have are listed below. The store is also open for general shopping and everything is on sale all weekend!
We are in an industrial area so please be careful and safe in our lot. The coffee vendor, Quartertone Coffee Roasters, is slated to be here at 7:30AM.
The social media we use most is Instagram. Please do follow us there for regular stock updates and occasional announcements.
(Reminder: if you haven’t been to our store in a while – we moved 2 years ago and are now at 69 South Turnpike Road, Wallingford, CT 06492 – in the same building as the Battery Shop.)
RSD BF items will be in the main shop (not in the bay door area like we did for the Spring RSD). Please line up by the front door. If you are here for the regular shop and not RSD items you’ll be able to bypass that line once we get that moving.
Parking can be found in the normal area that is painted in our lot and overflow parking is basically in the abutting lots.
Please be safe and mindful of those around you. Dress weather appropriate. We’ll do our best to get you out of the cold as safely and efficiently as we can.
Below is a list of what we will have available. Record Store Day titles are limited to 1 per title per person (buy as many titles as you’d like, just 1 each).

RSD Quantity Disclaimer: We hope we can please and fulfill the requests of a good deal of you all. As much as we’d like to have every possible thing on hand in quantities exactly matching the demand it just can’t work that way. We order a tremendous amount as do many other stores. We are allocated certain amounts of things and ultimately we get a lot because we put in the leg work. That said, we get less than we order and in some cases we miss out on items completely (trust us, it’s not purposeful by any stretch). We want everyone to be happy in the end so be excellent to each other. And if you have a request for something please let us know next week with an email or phone call and we can check on its availability.
We feel it’s important to shop local, independent and small whenever possible. CT has some absolutely great places to shop for your loved ones this holiday season. We figured we’d put out a list to ease you into it.
First off, we’ve invited some local makers and artists to set up in our space during the weekends in December, that way you can browse something beyond records and maybe spark a gift idea.
Here are some of the dealers that will be at our Record Fair at Counter Weight Brewing on October 16th.
The Archive
“The Archive is Vinegar Syndrome’s experimental retail store located at our film preservation facility in Bridgeport, CT (right off I-95!). We carry all of our releases (of course) and a wide variety of other like-minded genre home video companies, in addition to super rare VHS, Laserdiscs and movie posters. We also have a growing selection of vinyl LPs and one of the largest collections of soundtrack LPs you will ever encounter.” https://browsethearchive.com/bridgeport/
Bad Kitty
“Bad Kitty Music is the outward manifestation of one goofball longhair’s obsession with records… Genres available include: Rock, Pop/Vocal, Country Rock, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Soundtracks, Electronic, Country, R&B/Funk/Soul, Reggae/Ska, etc. Generally speaking, LPs from the 1950s – 1990s, mostly used. Prices start at two bucks (practically free!!) and go from there. Credit/Debit cards, Paypal, and Venmo are all accepted, and impulse purchases are encouraged.” https://www.facebook.com/BadKittyMusic
C/Site Recordings and Bridge & Tunnel Crowd Monthly Newsletter split table. C/Site Recordings will have all in print releases on hand and a selection of out of print titles. We will also have a small number of test presses with one of a kind cover art by Dan Greene of Mountain Movers, as well as a small selection of used records. The Bridge & Tunnel Crowd will have current and back issues, subscriptions, anthologies, posters and assorted ephemera available. Cash, Venmo and Paypal all accepted. http://www.csiterecordings.com/ https://batcrowdnewsletter.blogspot.com/p/subscribe-to-bridge-tunnel-crowd.html
Domcasual
Our friend Dino you might recognize from various record fairs on the east coast. He loves a good 12″ single and carries a lot of them. Talk to my man about disco and movies. Solid selection beyond as well – check out his Discogs shop here.
George
Good source for rock priced to move. I’ve pulled some real cool stuff out of his bins. You might have seen this nice dealer at various record fairs. (no website!)
Get Awesome Records
“I sell the albums your favorite musician likes. Killer and/or rare metal, punk, hardcore, electronic, noise, industrial, and more. Some other weird stuff too. This will be one of my first fairs in months and I’ve been hoarding a bunch of choice slabs. Oh yeah, I just bought a big collection of limited edition dungeon synth tapes, if that’s your thing. Get Awesome or get bent!” https://www.discogs.com/seller/GetAwesomeRecords/profile
Ian will be here from RTGK having just past the 8 year mark for their shop! A variety of records from the store’s vast horde! http://recordsthegoodkind.com/
Slipped Disc
Slipped Disc Records is back with a new collection of punk, new wave, 60’s & 70’s rock, glam and metal titles with many new arrivals including first presses and promos. They will also have over 1,500 sealed reissues and new releases! http://www.slippeddiscrecords.com/SDRmainPage.htm
Studebaker Hawk
“Your friendly neighborhood DJ selling all genres of LPs, 12″s, and 7″s. Studebaker Hawk is also one third the label Peace & Rhythm, with more than 30 records out.” https://linktr.ee/Studebakerhawk
The Telegraph
The Telegraph emerged gradually over the course of year ten of the twenty-first century in the small but mighty city on the Sound: New London, Connecticut, United States. Already functioning as an independent label and promoter in the region, a physical store became a necessity for the burgeoning music scene that at the time was busting at the seams. https://telegraphnl.com/
Willimantic Records
Bringing used rock & jazz LPs from the 60s, 70s & 80s. Willimantic Records is a used record shop currently located in the Bliss Marketplace at 34 North Street in Willimantic, Connecticut. http://blog.willimanticrecords.com/
“Zazz Corp aka Helen Kennedy is an illustrator and gig poster artist. Clients include the Grateful Dead, Phish, Primus, and so many more. Zazz Corp embodies and the strange and far out. Can you dig it?
On this month’s podcast we talk to Hughie and David of CT punk band Zipper! We talk about the music we’re listening to and dive into what happened to get Zipper going.
David (Left) and Hughie (Right) of Zipper
We talk about what bands they’re playing and releasing stuff with that they’re stoked on. We talk about the way they got into music and punk in the first place and generally dive into playing music in bands. We actually stay pretty on topic in this episode only veering a couple times to talk about a couple shows that happened in the old store’s basement (Mind Eraser and Greg Ginn – separate shows).
