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’s stage invasion during Michael Jackson’s performance 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.
JUDAS PRIEST Metal Works 73-93 (Rare 1993 UK 32-track double vinyl LP, housed in a gatefold picture sleeve with original illustrated inners with the band’s own comments on the songs. The sleeve has a little light edge and spinewear, but the inners are intact and, aside from a few minor surface scuffs, the vinyl looks barely played. A fantastic example of this hard to find Nineties pressing #4730501).
AEROSMITH Get A Grip (1993 UK 15-track double vinyl LP pressed in Holland for the UK market, the eleventh studio album from the ‘Bad Boys From Boston’, including Livin’ On The Edge, Eat The Rich, Cryin’, Amazing and Crazy, single pocket glossypicture sleeve complete with illustrated lyric / credits inners.
