Bummer. That used to be a pretty great store. Plan 9 in Richmond has also become a shadow of its former self. I hate to say it, but sometimes I think it would be better if places just closed before turning to complete shit. Going to Yesterday & Today in the early ‘00s was depressing compared to what it had been in the mid ‘80s.

I haven't been to Vinyl Conflict, but I hear great things about it. I've met Bobby (the guy who runs it) at a record fair in Asbury ParkN and he may have bought something from me, but I can't remember. So if anyone is in Richmond this w/e for Avail, stop in there.
My point is that places come and go and thankfully there are new ones sometimes to take the place of old favorites.

Never seen this before. Or heard about it. Back in 1984 I bought the UK pressing (red stripe) and those where the only ones available here in Berlin Germany. Later US repressings (without stripe) were also available.
The great thing about this German pressing is that backside song and recording info is translated into German.
I bought it, of course.

That's a cartoon me on the cover.

I'm not on that one. It's John Telenko singing (Sleeper/Serpico).

It sure looks great and it sounded very good for someone who never sat down to listen to it before. I love those types of recordings with a lot of instrument separation.

I would question what masters they used. IIRC, the Love Supreme OG masters went up in flames in the Universal fire.
