Beatles "Paperback Writer / Rain" 7" Vinyl Single

June 7, 2010 Redscroll Records 1 Comment

Tomorrow, June 8th, is the U.S. release date for The Beatles “Paperback Writer / Rain” 7″ Vinyl Single.

It was originally a UK Record Store Day item. There are a very limited number of these (1000, I believe). At best, any store that wanted these got only 2. We got 2! The least amount of fun this could lead to is that whomever could make it here first could buy them. That doesn’t sound all that fun at all. It would be fun for those 2 people, sure, but less fun for so many more people. More fun? What could we do to make that happen? A raffle? Yes!

A raffle for these is going to take place! That way we can charge you and make a mint off these little round things, right? NO WAY, DUDE! This raffle is going to be FREE! No catch. You don’t have to purchase anything at all. You don’t have to buy a raffle ticket. You just have to enter and cross your fingers. (Actually, the one catch is that you actually do have to come into the store to fill out the form. I almost forgot to mention that – no online entries, sorry)

The raffle entry will go on for 2 weeks. At 7PM on Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010, we will pick a winner at random. You don’t have to be present for the picking – entries will have contact information on them so we can reach you. However, coming in at that time might make it more exciting for all.

Sell Us Your Media

May 19, 2010 Redscroll Records

Redscroll Records is always buying used vinyl, CDs, DVDs, and books of interest! We pay cash, but we’ll give you a bit more in store credit.

Now that we’ve rearranged the store and opened up a whole new room for just used records we have a wealth of space. We’ve all got stuff on our shelves that we bought checked out once, and will never pick up again. I’m talking about things that you have no sentimental attachment to. Maybe you have a family member who is just holding onto things because they don’t want to spend the time to get rid of them – offer your time to come to our store with that uncle’s 70s rock collection, mom’s old Aleister Crowley books, your cousin’s ska CDs, … Spring is traditionally the time for cleaning so why not go through your collection and weed out anything you haven’t listened to in a couple years? Why not? I will tell you why you should.

It is beneficial for us, but it is also beneficial for you. Tag Sales, Craigslist, Ebay, … all those things take up a lot of your time. Time is money, right? We will pay you on the spot. Spin yarn into gold. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure (gender neutral usage).

Community!

When you go to a record store with a great used section it is because of a few factors. Perhaps, the purveyors of said store found a magic beanstalk which they climbed and defeated a giant who had a great collection of discs (that were probably tiny to him). More likely is that they’ve built a niche within the community. They’ve sold and bought records to people with respectable tastes. We have a respect for the people that come into our store and that is why we are writing this now. Sell us your used media so that another may easily find it. We all win!

Redmodeled Records

May 15, 2010 Redscroll Records

Remodeling is still in progress.

On April 12, 2007 we set up shop. It’s a little over three years later and we have moved things around more than once per year. We used to have our office in what was (until last week) the used record room. The office moved to the back storage area then. Now, the office has moved to our basement. The back room is now the used record room. The old used record room now has sub-categories of records. New and used CDs have new shelving. Books and magazines are on end-cap displays. The listening station is in the corner under the television. 7″s/45s are under the new records in the main room. There’s more to explain. It all gets real muddled if you’re trying to grasp it while reading, however.

Let me explain in pictures, both moving and static!

Before getting going with anything major in the store we had to move our big megaton 1970s (former Pratt & Whitney) steel desk downstairs. The easiest way to move that beast is to take it apart and reassemble it in the new location. Oh wait, if you’re going down stairs the easiest way is to just take off the legs and shove it onto a pile of broken down cardboard. Yea!

DAY ONE:

Days two and three saw us gathering some help from our friends. We took down all the old shelving (downstairs to be used for back-stock). So, thanks to my folks, my brother Joe, and our friends Mike, Brian, Ryan, Rob and Melissa. While I’m thanking people – thanks to ourselves: Rick, Josh, Sean and Bean (the dog).
