For better or worse, the ‘90s will be remembered for a lot of iconic moments, but mostly it will be for the music. There was the rise of Brit Pop and the battle between Oasis and Blur, Nirvana bringing grunge to the mainstream and influencing an entire generation to wear a plaid shirt, the Spice Girls taking over the world, and Jarvis Cocker exposing himself to Michael Jackson at the Brit Awards.
While music was more popular than virtually any other decade, vinyl was on the decline. CD was the chosen format, rendering cassettes obsolete, and causing vinyl sales to dwindle. Record companies began pressing less and stores rarely stocked anything other than the biggest selling titles. Now, many of the albums of the time are considered collector’s items and sell for premium prices.
We don’t always see that many collections of ‘90s vinyl here, but when we do, you can almost guarantee them to be of a high quality both in condition and content. Below are a few highlights we have in stock, and be sure to keep an eye on our latest arrivals.

The sleeve has only a little light edgewear and the vinyl looks barely played.
The Cardigans – Life: Rare 1995 UK 13-track vinyl LP, the second studio album from the Swedish rock band including Carnival, Hey! Get Out of My Way, Rise And Shine and Sick And Tired, along with their version of the classic Black Sabbath song Sabbath Bloody Sabbath; glossy picture sleeve with a vintage sticker on the reverse.
