Another gem from a recent storage locker pull, currently on Discogs in our warehouse.
Johnny Costa Plays Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.
A sweet nostalgic slab of jazzy meanderings, perhaps better suited to a spiffy cocktail party than a room full of kids.
VG+ / VG++. $200 shipped in the US, and store pick up possible - DM for more info. Otherwise priced accordingly for Discogs.

Holy grail alert! Maher Shalal Hash Baz ‘Return Visit To Rock Mass’ OG 1996 vinyl set. Supremely clean.

$750 shipped within the USA if ordering direct and paid via paypal invoice. Not currently in the shop but pick up is also available.

Otherwise it’s on discogs and priced accordingly for the marketplace. DM if interested.

A recent storage space clean up resulted in the unearthing of this naïve pop rarity from Japan’s Maher Shalal Hash Baz. Other interesting rarities were also plucked from the depths of our NY locker and we’ll upload those too as time permits.

The amazing Samara Joy and Christian McBride dropped by Academy last week. As chance would have it at that moment we were spinning Gary Bartz's SHADOWS (1991), one of Mr. McBride's earliest recorded sideman gigs. Talk about serendipity! ( Thanks folks, drop by again soon!)
