Ah, Music Direct is selling the New West label, ay @slaw? Glad to hear it. If you're into collectibles, the Miller's new album is available in an Indi Record Store version: "root beer swirl" colored vinyl! I found it listed on the Music Millennium website for $17.98. I called the store, but their online stock is different than their instore stock. The colored vinyl version is shipped from Waterloo Records in Austin, Tx. Mine's on it's way. I don't know if the colored vinyl version will sound different than the black one, but I want it anyway. Remember, the original splotched gray pressing of Dave Mason's first album sounds fantastic. And, it's fun to look at as it spins! Reminds me of Play-Do ;-) .

@bdp24 

that’s curious and maybe frustrating, my “granite” vinyl op of alone together sounds terrible.  I call it my most favorite worst sounding album.  Maybe it’s just worn out...

are you in Portland too?  MM my current favorite store.  Are you old enough to remember “Everbody’s Records?

James---Howdy, neighbor! I’m actually in Vancouver, but come into Portland frequently. In L.A. I had Amoeba on Sunset Blvd., an incredible record store. Music Millennium’s pretty good, no complaints. I was up here briefly at the end of 2009/beginning of 2010, and worked at MM for the Christmas rush, just December, then returned to SoCal.

I just discovered Everybody’s Records! The old owner sold the store to a young kid (well, in his 30’s, I would guess. To me that’s a kid ;-), and the store moved from it’s old location on Main Street in Vancouver (that storefront is now a weed dispensary ;-) to right by the I5 entrance on Mill Plain Blvd. I’ve already bought about ten LP’s from him, all in great shape and REALLY cheap ($3-5).

Confusingly, there is also a local chain named Everybody’s Music, which isn’t so hot. That kid Fremer has had at his house gave the impression EM is good, which imo it is not. On Mike and the kid’s most recent video (Fremer was in town a few months ago), they went to Music Millennium together (the kid had not been there before), and Fremer was freaking out! Their prices are kinda high imo, but that means they give you more in trade in. I just took in a box of duplicate LP’s, Punk/New Wave/Indi 45’s, and got $400 for them. Easy money!
