LP's METAL ZONE

Bunch of new 80's speed metal & punk just in....

Recently acquired a batch of top notch Metal Blade, Banzai, and Speed Metal. If you were a punk into hardcore in the mid 80's, this was the soundtrack!

This awesome comp features the Mentors alongside D.R.I. & Corrosion of Conformity...

Destruction!!!

Return of the Living Dead soundtrack features The Cramps & SSQ... This is when zombie movies were worth watching!

More hardcore, Canadian speed metal band Sacrifice.

This Celtic Frost record is considered one of the first of it's kind, and many that followed refer to this as one of the pioneers of today's black metal.

Is this too much Iron Maiden?

All of this stuff and 1000's more available at LP's LPs at 104 Ossington ave in downtown Toronto. I am always bringing in minimal wave, 80's pop, electronic, Kraut rock, and many collectable records every week for the vinyl enthusiasts!
A ton of mainstream stock as well, at only $5- ea! For those who just love to acquire classic stuff to add to their collections.

The Flood

Today I awoke to a flood at 6:30am. The city was called, 311, and they promptly came and did as little as possible. Then the kind and hard working superintendent came and took over, we worked all day hauling things around, trying to figure out where the water came from and why. This is during an otherwise beautiful day, and people came to check out the shop. Now we have a crew taking apart the walls, as everything that came in contact with water is contaminated, so, my rug, my mattresses, records, stereo, wood pieces,sleeping bag, art... etc.

This is the scene outside my store on holiday Friday, March 29th. The city arrived  to look at things, but not much else.

No, these are not Ossington clubbers, or people making reservations for dinner. They are not here to buy records either. These are the Doozers!

 This impressive looking truck sat outside for a while too. They looked like they could swing into action at any time, but nothing happens. The city must make sure that it is their responsibility before they act, and as of now, we don't know. People are telling me this is happening all over Toronto. Busted ceramic oldie's sewer pipes.

Disaster zone.















All of my valuable records and other items are fine, and brought upstairs, balancing on 2x4 bridges, then organized into an attractive garage sale style. I do better in the next two days than usual...!?





















The clean up crew arrives, hired privately through the landlord. They had to take apart the walls and sterilize everything. Everything is covered in plastic and huge fans are brought in, along with a massive dehumidifier that has to be on for at least 4 days.








95% of my soundtracks & various comps are destroyed.












Unlucky ones.
