Purchased some really cool collections lately. The JJ Cale came from a collection from a really cool cat named Andy who bought this one from me in 2018 before I owned a shop, even has my first business card. Really was great chatting with him and buying a few albums back from the very first collection I ever bought.

The Rolling Stones Mono Box came with an audiophile collection of some super rare finds. This one is #1546 of 10,000 and is available now for $300 (cash or card, no VCUP) in shop only.

The rest of these collections will be out Saturday morning, stay tuned!!
