Today marks twenty years since the first ever show at The Black Sheep Cafe on September 17th, 2005.

The Black Sheep all ages show space continued until the end of 2018, which is when we packed up all of our things and headed downtown and vowed to continue the mission of providing an all ages shows space to the youth of Springfield, just all under the name Dumb Records. While what Black Sheep started as is completely different than the space we have downtown today, this still marks twenty continuous years of all ages shows (maybe with a break for a pandemic somewhere in there).

This Sunday is Vintage Fair! We’ll have vendors setup in the alley by our downtown store. Springfield Vintage will also be joining the fun with vendors setup in their shop as well.

Here are this Friday’s hot new vinyl releases!
– BUCKINGHAM NICKS originally released in 1973 and not ever re-issued until NOW, the long awaited re-release of this Fleetwood Mac affiliated project. Out on light blue vinyl, pink vinyl, and a should have a couple of the half-speed mastered version on black vinyl as well.
– NINE INCH NAILS with the “Tron: Ares” soundtrack! There are actually two variations to this, one black vinyl and the other on white.
– The sixth studio album from North Carolina indie-rock band WEDNESDAY called “Bleeds” out on black vinyl.
– A re-issue of the all time punk classic from 1982 “Milo Goes To College” by DESCENDENTS. Out on marbled grey vinyl.
– A new album from CARDI B called “Am I The Drama?” on indie exclusive blue and regular black vinyl.

This week Pepperoni picked the Rolling Stones

“Good morning. You can’t always get what you want here at Dumb Records, but sometimes if you try some times you just might find you get what you need, and that really is a copy of “Let It Bleed” by The Rolling Stones on vinyl. This 180 gram pressing of their 1969 hit album, I can’t think of another band that has been active a whole 63 years, they sure have been long overdue for a pick from me! Plus this one opens up with one of my favorite Stones tracks “Gimme Shelter!”

Something cool this week, we had a visit from bands “The Thing With Feathers” and “The Band Feel” which includes the drummer from Greta Van Fleet.
