Classic Rock and 80s Records in Bloomington: What's in the Bins

Classic rock is the section people head to first when they walk in, and it's the one that changes fastest. Here's a peek at what's been coming through lately. Fair warning: used stock sells, so some of these might be gone by the time you read this.

Why there's so much of it

Most of our used records come out of local collections, and Bloomington has been buying rock records for a long, long time. So the 60s and 70s staples come through often, in original and early pressings, along with deeper cuts you won't see at a chain store. Every one gets cleaned, re-sleeved and graded to the Goldmine standard, so you know what you're getting. (How we grade.)

Lately in the bins

Recent arrivals have included ZZ Top, Bruce Springsteen, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Robin Trower's Bridge Of Sighs and Glass Harp's Synergy, the Ohio band's 1971 record. Pink Floyd and the Beatles show up regularly too, and they never stick around long. Browse the whole classic rock section, or wander into psychedelic rock if you like things a little stranger.

Don't skip the 80s

The 80s bins are a good time: synth-pop, arena rock, new wave, and records like the self-titled Cock Robin LP. A lot of 80s albums were pressed in huge numbers, which keeps them friendly on the wallet, and a clean VG+ copy sounds great. If you're building a collection without spending a fortune, start here.
