Release Records Vinyl Clearance Sale!

Release Records is closing its doors on March 31st. We will no longer be selling vinyl online or through our physical shop.

We will still be running our mp3 shop (& improving it) & continuing with our new mp3 promotional pool, http://www.releasepromo.com.

We are also now having a massive online & in shop sale on all vinyl (except this & last weeks shipment) & on all cd compilations (note we will not hold local orders). All vinyl is being marked down to $5CAD & cd comps at $10CAD. This sale will only last until the end of the month so get in there quickly.

We at Release Records would like to thank everyone who helped us along the way as we move onwards into the digital era.

We had a blast! Thanks again...

The Release Records team

awwww man... the vinyl era is fading faster than I imagined
Release was my homebase record store... damn, this sucks.

I guess its time I start budgeting for CDJs
(I'll prob. stop buying vinyls for a while... that'll save me a few hundred )

to me... this symbolizes the death of vinyl.

Release Records was the best vinyl shop - ever.

I agree. Damn unique. I like the concept of the "promo record pool" idea done digital.

FAQ!

This is so sad Even though CDj's are better and its cheaper to use CD's, there is something so special about the vinyl. Getting it signed, hanging it up, playing it...

Posted by Orko on Mar-15-2006 02:58:

Sad news, but ill be there tomorrow!

A friend had just told me. I think the new system/direction is awesome.

its not the first.
many years ago, a dj friend of mine in the gta used to run one called w-wip (worldwide internet pool)
i saw his operation in his basement at the time. pretty crazy.
he sold it not too long ago and it just disappeared.

play de record has some EDM too... but not nearly as many new releases as RR.

and... PdR is so grimmy...

SOME EDM?>? they have tons of EDM.. and they even get some stuff Release didnt' get. The griminess makes the 'diggin in da crates' all that more authentic. I've been shopping there since early 90's.. and they'll probably be the only RECORD SHOP to survive this whole thing. Plus there's still 2 the Beat.. and online shops. It's not the end of the vinyl world in Toronto. Although I did love Release..and everyone who worked there were amazing dudes..not only music wise..but just to talk and shoot the shit with...or party with.

in comparison to hiphop section, the individual EDM genre cant begin to compare.
the grim and diggin is "authentic" but its a pain when you finally find a gem that has really loud snaps and crackles (that dont clean of easliy) cuz of the dust/grim.

but its true, PdR will probably sell THE last vinyl on the planet, if that day ever comes. Its a great store, but it can't compare to the feel and vibe at release imo.

U're absolutely right about this. Releases vinyl quality was far superior to Play de's. I just dig deeper to see if there's one that's fairly newish. But yeah.. RR's were all in spectacular condition... for the most part... in comparison to Play de's...that is.

Just wanted to say how great it was having many of you guys come into the shop on a weekly/monthly basis. from guys like sonny, schryer, gamma, 247, endlesswave, mossey, cuzo, max q, matt nichol and last but not least lil disko-kandi (i know where were more but i cant remember at this time)

there were some great memories in this shop, memories that i will keep forever. thanks again to all of you for your support throughout the years!
