We don’t usually discuss how we source our firewood at The Sharp Notes, but apparently Eddie Floyd had the right idea.
Chopping wood in a beautiful suit, immaculate loafers and—is that an ascot?
Come grab this exceptionally clean soul classic.

D’oh! This Simpsons Record Sold Before We Could Post It!

A nice stereo copy of The Doors (feat. Mr. Mojo Risin’) walked in this week. Looks great, sounds great. Just a Wendy bit of ring wear on this one. Reissues are great, but there’s something about hearing those 60 year old grooves in your own living room.
We’ve got the new Meditations reissue, but also this beautiful preowned pressing we believe dates to 1970. Because with John Coltrane, why choose?
Stop by the mall, flip through the bins and spend a little time in Meditations. 🎷

It’s National Vinyl Record Day ’26! Come hang at your friendly neighborhood record store and maybe leave with this oddball, single-sided 10” live Stones disc of “She’s a Rainbow.” No Paul McCartney on woodblock, sadly. You’ll have to play that part at home. 🌈💿 Stop by the mall! – at Paramus, NJ
It’s an ‘83 original! Come gather up some Milwaukee folk punk right here in the Garden State Plaza. Happy Monday!
A new Beck album is always good news: especially when it's presented as a high quality, audiophile release!

We love a Dave Brubeck record, and we’ll say it: he may be a little underrated in 2026.
Live at the Kurhaus 1967 captures the classic quartet near the end of its run, newly restored and cut by Kevin Gray at 33 1/3 RPM on @RecordingsLost.

If you’re looking to go completely Wu this weekend, we’ve got you covered. Broaden your horizons and check out the recently reissued El Michels Affair on the group’s music as fabulous instrumentals. We’ve got them in “crimson strike” 🥋
Nobody puts baby in the corner! It’s Saturday at the mall! Don’t forget: we’ve got plenty of records, but cassettes, CDs, t-shirts and more. Stop by! – at Paramus, NJ
Alan Braufman joins Evan Toth on The Sharp Notes to discuss Anthem for Peace, his new album on Valley of Search. Braufman reflects on freedom, searching, and returning to the sound that’s guided him all along. @AlanBraufman

Plenty of great used and new restocks for your Saturday morning shopping…and you don’t even need to hunt through the mall to find them, they’re all in the store. But sometimes I like to take the records out to get some fresh air and sunlight. Stop by the mall.
@TamarBerk's new album "ocd" explores looping thoughts and the patterns we carry with us. We talk about the real work of doing it yourself and the rare satisfaction of owning every part of the outcome.
