Daybreak, Fat Cat, Neptune, Golden Oldies, and Silver Platters SoDo.

Either I didn't hit 'em right or I wasn't in a buying mood--only picked up 5 albums. But it's always fun to dig.

(Great photo by the way!)

My friend, RJ owns Daybreak. He was a buyer for Jive Time for years before opening it. He gets stuff you won't find anywhere else. If the bridge situation wasn't so fucked up these days, it would have been a smooth drive from Silver Platters SODO over to Easy Street in West Seattle. Unfortunately, for the time being, traveling to West Seattle has become somewhat of a fiasco.

If you ever come back out this way, I'd also recommend Sonic Boom in Ballard and checking out the Light In The Attic record store in Seattle Center. Brad always curates a great selection well beyond just LITA titles, but they have those, too. It's located in the gathering space for KEXP. If this pandemic ever chills out, you might even be able to catch a free in studio performance at the station, while you're there

Thanks! I discovered Daybreak a couple of years ago and love that place. It was a quick trip this time, but I've bought stuff there several times before and I occasionally check out his instragram posts and drool from a distance. :) Seems like RJ does a great job of scouring the globe for vinyl!

I've been to Sonic Boom but for some reason just didn't make it to Ballard this time. Is Easy Street the two-story shop? I know I've been to a great place in West Seattle, but yeah, seems like that isn't going to be a viable option for some time. I don't know if I've ever been to LITA. I'll have to check it out next time (that'll be next month). Thanks for the recommendations!

I don't know. I think she was just hoping to buy one. I wondered if the shop knew anything about it, since Easy Street always has like a million copies if there's a Pearl Jam live at Easy Street release or something, but it sounds like they did not. I suggested that she reach out to the label to ask them about it.

Oh yeah to be clear I mean shitty on the label’s part, not on your friend’s. Why tf wouldn’t they even make the shop aware, much less send them some to sell?

Yeah, Easy Street has the vinyl upstairs. They used to have a Queen Anne location, but it closed. The old shop was cool because they'd fuck up and under price things all the time, whereas they've seemed more likely to go in the opposite direction since it closed. Discogs wasn't really bumping back then, either, though. I saw a few in-stores with artists like Meat Puppets at that old spot. Lana Del Rey did one there, too, I remember. I took the kid to see J Mascis at the West Seattle spot more recently, and that was also pretty great.

Here's the LITA shop IG, if you're interested

I know what you were just referring to the label, but I think she was mostly just bummed that she couldn't grab one. It does seem off that the shop wouldn't, at least, know about it though.

Oh wow thanks for the link! I just ordered a copy for myself! Yeah this band is awesome and everyone has caught on at the right time!
 
Not on vinyl (yet, I can hope), but this is the digital audio of Grandaddy's livestream'ish video performance from a couple Friday's ago. I haven't attended many livestream events during the pandemic, but I had to get a ticket for this since Grandaddy is a top 5 all-time band for me. It was absolutely incredible and if you know your Grandaddy, then you'll be able to tell from the tracklist that this included some deep cuts. I hope the video is made available at some point so more people can watch it.

EDIT: The performance film can be rented! Grandaddy: In a Trance and Wandering Around

My favorite part:

“A vinyl version of Journey’s greatest hits, for example, sells for $32.23...

‘As vinyl continues to make a big comeback and become the preferred music format, Walmart is committed to offering customers the albums they want at everyday low prices,’ the company said in a statement.”

I’ve bought a number of Walmart Exclusives and they are reasonable, I will not however be buying Journey’s greatest hits.
