Beaker's Records

08/28/2026

Tomorrow morning is the first ever Beaker's Records Garage Sale! I've talked about this on stories and reels but I wanted to be explicit about what this is.

I'm pulling things out of storage like vintage safety glasses and I'm like "why do I have this?" So please come by and buy it all at garage sale prices!

It's a Wall Watch!

Here are some items from the wall that have been around long enough where shipping is available. Please DM any questions or to inquire. Of course, they're all still available in store as well.

I'm putting a whole bunch of Japanese records tomorrow, mostly $2 LPs and $1 45s. Not American music on Japanese pressings but older music from Japan itself. Are there sleepers in there? Definitely, because I don't read Japanese and didn't take the time to use Translate on every record!

Spend your Sunday with a drop of some great jazz titles! Watch the reel to see what's going out at noon tomorrow. No holds or shipping!

Another Record Store Day US Summer Camp has come and gone! I tried to grab as many store stickers as I could. Here are some great shops from all over the county that you should go support! Do you see your favorite shop in the pile? Do you have a favorite independent record shop that's missing? Shout em out and send me a sticker while you're at it!

Celebrate our independence from England with some original Oasis pressings!

Definitely Maybe is a 1994 Euro press.

(What's the Story) Morning Glory? is a 1995 UK pressed at Damont. It has a misprint in that they forgot to put the labels on disc two. Silly factory.

Both albums are VG+ all over, maybe better?

You know the drill by now. Available in store only, starting today!

Yes, I put a picture of Beaker so you'll actually look at the post. Engagement, baby!

The shop will be open at 9AM on Saturday the 4th of July for the big Alameda Parade and I'll have my sidewalk sale going as well. Come by early by foot or bike. Parking will open back up later in the afternoon.

Also, all posters in the shop are 40 percent off for the month of July!

Now available is what is definitely the most rare and collectible record I've had in my history as a record seller!

John Heartsman and Circles, Music of My Heart. It's an original pressing that Ann took amazing care of, even writing her name on it so that we'd all thank her 50 years in the future! Thanks Ann! You kept the vinyl in EX-NM condition all these years!

It is signed in the well kept gatefold by some of the musicians -- I've altered those photos to remove some personally identifying info for the original owner.

Offers are being accepted. This is a priceless record, so if you're seriously interested, get in touch and we can discuss. I suspect there will be more than one person out there who wants it.

As always, this will not be available for shipping for some time, like any of my new arrivals. It's an Oakland record that I would love to see stay in a Bay Area collection.

DM with any questions or offers. No trades.
