Val Shively Records

[analog_tape]

Has anyone bee to Val Shively Records lately? Is that place picked over, or does he still buy for the store?

 

[SoulOnIce]

He's got plenty of sick records left, dude.

You have to pay and you have to hope he likes you.

I heard you have to bring a list too because unless he likes/kmows you you can't go dig??

 

[tripledouble]

if he thinks youll spend a little bread, he'll give you run of the place. if he thinks youre a dipshit, its gonna be tough going

I so would love (& have contemplated more than once) to jump on a plane just to go dig at that place, but I fear I may have a heart attack at the sheer massiveness of the amount of 45s........ also, it's a long way to fly to then get denied.....

You wouldn't get denied.

Still to this day a very cool shop, perhaps especially for NON soul/doowop/funk 45s.

or does he still buy for the store?

I've never been there.
I have heard many stores, and have talked to Val on the phone.

I would assume that he will be buying until he closes the store.
It is a passion for him.

I doubt he has to work hard to buy.
He has been one of thee best known buyers and sellers for decades.
The records come to him.
