-- THIS PAGE IS CHANGING -- On 7/11 we celebrate our 1 year anniversary of the new superstore. The 1st big change is we’re dropping Records… from our name. To further enhance our vision of the store as a cultural hub and to become more than just a store, we’re making some improvements. To start, from now on, just call us Steamboat.

Vinyl reissues and releases for this week... Mark Kozelek's Rock N'Roll Singer, a return of Josh Ritter's Latest and Lucinda Williams reimagining of her classic Sweet Old World on Pink Vinyl! A duo of Metal reissues from Peaceville Records... Unholy's Second Ring Of Fire on LP for the first time, Conan's Doom laden Monnos getting a vinyl issue too.

Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile. Together at last. This is great!

We got this! More lovely Limrock action, this time from Prog/Post Rockers Zombie Picnic. It's on cassette and looks rather handsome. Come pick it up! It's only limited to 25. Gulp!

For the first time, Mic Christopher's debut album 'Skylarkin' is available on LP! A strictly limited release, we've tracked copies down and should have it in store for early next week. Pre-Orders are open through the magic link...
