You may notice a bit of a mess on the north corner of our store. Bear with us … we’re remodeling and bringing in new fixtures to accommodate 8,000 plus collectible vinyl records formerly available for e-commerce sales only. Collectors will now be able view & handle LPs for a real hands-on experience. We believe this will become the finest LP Vinyl department of its kind in the region.
At All That Music & Video, we’ve seen demand rise dramatically for collectible LPs in the past few years. Collectibles have been a staple of ATMV, even though sales of classic collectibles were modest. So over the years we’ve adopted some of the toughest quality standards in the business. Playability and the condition of album covers must meet or exceed our standards. In our new department, all LPs will be clearly marked as to quality and price.
Store owner George Reynoso says the upsurge in interest in collectibles is no surprise to him. “Times are hard and uncertain. Music lovers are yearning for simpler times when an album cover was considered a work of art and the characteristic sound of a needle on vinyl was a true pleasure.”
The new collectibles department is part of a larger plan to re-image the store to stay ahead of fast-paced changes in the music business caused primarily by downloading songs from internet sources. Other nostalgic items such as movie and rock posters will be more prominent as the store is strategically remodeled.
