Vault 66 Pinball has been hoppin’ downtown this week as we slightly expanded the operating hours. Hopefully in a few weeks we’ll be ready to expand the hours further. TMNT and D&D pinballs have just recently been added as well!

Last week we held our 3rd official pinball tournament, here’s a glance at our winners for the evening.

Here are those new vinyls coming out this Friday that you’ve been waiting for!

– MADONNA with her 15th studio album “Confessions II” – there are a few different variants of this release, and we should have some of the indie exclusive white flavor.
– A reissue of the 1982 album “Miami” by THE GUN CLUB.
– A band that is almost 60 years old, DEEP PURPLE with their 25th studio album “Splat!” we should have copies on both purple and black vinyl.
– KING GIZZARD AND THE LIZARD WIZARD have a new compilation that is the best-of their previous demos compilation called “From Demos To Demons.”
– A new compilation of GOTH MUSIC we thought some of you might enjoy is coming out called “Dressed In Black: Goth Divas From The Dark Side” featuring music from 1941 to 2025??

This week Pepperoni Picked Sade:

“My pick this week is Sade, pronounced SHAH-day, Nigerian-British female singer songwriter who we’ve seen a resurgence of people coming in and asking for recently! (What’s up with that? Why are so many of you finding out about Sade all of a sudden!) Her album “Diamond Life” was released in 1984 and is the one we find original copies of from time to time (usually they don’t stick around long). That album opens up with the classic song “Smooth Operator” which is also on her greatest hits, which is what I am picking this week. This compilation was originally released in 1994, so it cover hits from her first four albums. Enjoy!”

With all the pinball going on, we can’t forget we have pinball also in our Dumb Records arcade downtown, and it looks like something new has just moved in.
