As well as true vintage vinyl from the ’60s-’10s, notable indies-rock and indie-pop labels of the past and present, import 7″‘s, and groovy pop / rock hits of the past.  Something old, something new, and something to make you smile.

What more can you tell me about those featured singles?

This go-round will include either one of 2 nifty ultra-limited 7″ singles:

– EITHER –

The addictive self-released 7″ single from incisive pop / punk legend Robyn Hitchcock, soulfully strumming along with sugary sadcore chantuese Emma Swift on their double a-side 45 “Love is a Drag” b/w “Life Is Change“.

“Everything you want, crashes like a car,” sing Robyn Hitchcock & Emma Swift on “Love Is A Drag,” the deliciously bittersweet celebration of ardor and adoration that marks their second 7 inch release as a duo and Hitchcock’s first new music in more than two years.  Robyn and Emma’s vocals intertwine beautifully, suspending time, leaving you hanging on each lyric as if in a trance. Life might be change, love a drag, but these two songs are gorgeous.” – Kevin Cole, KEXP

– OR –

A fresh copy of glam-punk legends The New York Dolls’ “Personality Crisis / Trash (1973 Mercury demos)” First time on a single- the 1973 Paul Nelson- produced demos of the band’s top two smash hits from Norton Records on dreamy pink vinyl!

“[These tracks] sound so different it’s like hearing them for the first time…The Dolls were unique, a conglomeration of personality, style, dirty chops, rock’n’blues knowledge, and molten lead power. This is the duct-tape-held-together side of it, and it’s a hoot.” – AppleMusic

Both represent an amazing rock n roll value, and give the bonus of no waiting in lines at your local record store on Record Store Day, only to be disappointed if/when they sell out!

Give your record player a treat with the VinylBox – Limited to 50, once they’re gone they’re gone!
