remembranceofbullshitiforgot: artoftherecordstore: Prince - Parade “Would U fuck me?” I actually bought my first copy of Parade from Planet Records. Pretty sure it had the same substitute art work. Love it! Aw, hell— that’s awesome! This may be the first time the purchaser of a CD has been reunited with the card on this blog. My day is kinda made.

Motorhead - No Sleep Till Hammersmith The Motorhead logo is deceptively hard to draw. I don’t even really understand what’s supposed to be happening in it.

  • ME: Hello, Planet Records.
  • DUDE WHO SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE MITCH HEDBERG: Heeeeeey. I am a... MUSICAL artist, and I was calling to see what kind of deal I could get... as a musician.
  • ME: Umm... We're actually a used record store. We're not a record label.
  • MITCH: Ahhh. Gotcha. You're Smash Records?
  • ME: We... I'm sorry?
  • MITCH: Thank you.
