LP's LPs update Oct 2014



LP's LPs record store is in moderate-swing... in other words, not stopping here! As many saw, the Electra-Furs sign was a relic of the past and it was a hard decision to take it down. I decided to do that and hang it indoors. I wasn't ready for what I found behind it though... Second Hand Rose Boutique. An old sign belonging to the clothing shop that existed here before Electra-Furs. More research is needed but it is a proven fact that this sign did not come from the dreadful Hairspray remake with john Travolta. So, this will do for now, because it is beautiful.



Many people still have a hard time finding this place, my old address always pops up. So here is something to help. RECORD STORE TORONTO, LP's LPs 2227 DUNDAS W. At Dundas & Roncesvalles. Best selection of vintage electronic, cosmic and synth LPs, hard to find psych and rarities. Post Punk lives here.







Adam Terejko's art looks so fine on these walls, the next art show will be Nigel Craig of Memorex on Thurs. Nov 6th. The opening is at 7pm. Memorex played an awesome inspired set of minimal electro pop last week that brought in a capacity crowd for their cassette launch. Upcoming artists include Diana Lynn-VanderMeulen, Roxanne Ignatius, Kate Young, Lorenz Peter. Also the next in store performance is scheduled for Nov 16 with
RU Real. Details to follow.

Sure a lot of their stuff sounds terrible, but this band has stayed true to form since 1980. Their hit songs are countless... Walk the Line, Maximum Security, Here Cum Germs, Silver Machine, Ignore the Machine, Impossible Mission.... A truly unique band. One of the many girl-boy bands that rocked for decades together. I am happy to have this stuff in here all at once.







Goblins everywhere

Want a scary soundtrack for your Halloween party? Try Susperia or Exorcist 2, both in stock.

More scary tunes in stock : Monster Mash LP, John Carpenter's Halloween, A Chud Convention, Bela Lugosi's Dead! "Why can The Bodies Fly?" by Warning is always good. Children of God by Swans, War of the Worlds original radio play LP with Orson Wells, 13th Chime, The Funeral Directors, Gothic Girls....


Because it took 2 months to finally establish an internet connection it took me too long for an update. Expect more regular updates from now on. I have been meaning to thank Lindsay & Jess at Silver Falls boutique on Ossington ave for giving me this fine & elegant Oak counter for my shop. It really makes the room.
