This Saturday we’re hosting a listening party for Wicked For Good at the Mall at 6pm. We’ve got lots of giveaways and items you can get with purchase of the album! We’ll have copies of Wicked For Good as well as the original Wicked on hand.

Also this Friday we have this show going on downtown.

Here are the Friday releases this week:

– THE BEATLES boy it’s not often that we have new stuff from THE BEATLES… here they are with “Anthology 4” – rare studio outtakes and more, all songs that have never made it to vinyl.
– WICKED: FOR GOOD (the soundtrack) on double black LP – of course we are having a listening party for this one 6pm Saturday at the mall! There is another (picture disc) version coming out for Black Friday as well!
– AEROSMITH and YUNGBLUD giving us a collaborative EP called “One Last Time” – does that mean they are finally going to give Springfield the concert they’ve owed us for decades??
– A reissue of JERRY GARCIA and DAVID GRISMAN “Not For Kids Only”
– A reissue of KORN’s 2005 album “See You On The Other Side” on double magenta vinyl.
– The soundtrack from the hit 2025 film “Sinners”

This week Pepperoni picked Tears For Fears

“How about a nice, real nice, 80’s pick? This is an album that if an original copy used ever comes in, it’s snatched up off the shelves within a matter of minutes. Every time. Tears For Fears 1985 album “Songs From The Big Chair” is THE album you all crave, that multi platinum Brittish pop-rock duo with the HITS “Everybody Wants To Rule The World,” “Head Over Heels,” and “Shout” (really the whole album is great). It just hit its 40th anniversary and I tell you what this is a timeless classic. We still have a few copies of the anniversary of coke bottle clear vinyl over here!”

We had a good time last week with Nil8, Acid Fog, and Evan VS Michael playing our store! Thanks to all who came and all who are commenting about not knowing it was happening.

So much happening here lately! To kick things off, we’re helping BLM-SPI host their food drive, you can drop off non-perishable food items at both our locations through November 21st.

Tonight we have a hardcore show happening downtown

Friday night we’re hosting a rock/punk/metal show featuring the Springfield legends NIL8, marking their first time playing the store.

Here are the new vinyl releases for this Friday!

– TEARS FOR FEARS “Songs From The Big Chair” is getting a re-issue! Out on clear viny.
– JESUS AND MARY CHAIN “Psychocandy” is also getting a 40th anniversary treatment, on fancy gold vinyl!
– GREEN DAY’s 2000 album “Warning” is getting a 25th anniversary pressing, looks like that might be a transparent orange or goldish vinyl of some sort.
– 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER “Everyone’s A Star” I am guessing this is some sort of pop punk band, out on glittery pink vinyl.
– CHEAP TRICK celebrating 50 years as a band and they have a brand new album out tomorrow called “Washed Up”!
– THE BLACK CROWES 1994 album “Amorica” is getting re-issued, on double black vinyl.

This week Pepperoni picked Blink 182:

“What’s my age again? My pick this week is Blink-182’s 1999 album “Enema Of The State.” Much like Green Day, Blink-182 was a band that broke through to big time mainstream success playing their rowdy pop punk / skate punk with lyrics about being a loser and adolescent frustration. This album might have been at the height of their career – it’s got hits like “All The Small Things” and “Adam’s Song” on it as well.”

Chris is once again our pinball champion, getting the top score in the Addams Family pinball contest which wrapped up this week. Here he is showing off his trophies including Dale from our last contest for Dale Jr. pinball.

We’ve also recently added a new pinball to the lineup at our downtown arcade, Genie from 1979.

We are solidifying our plans for Black Friday, here are all the details. First 100 through the line at either store will get either a few shirt or bag. We expect both locations to have all the heavy hitting titles
