In order to use the tools in this store you will need to have javascript enabled in your web-browser settings and have them set to accept cookies. We do not collect or share any personal information beyond what it takes to fill your order.
Address Verification: In order to process credit cards our credit service requires billing address verification, including a 5-digit postal code, to protect against stolen and fraudulent credit cards. For customers who live in countries which only have 4 digit postal codes we recommend adding a non-numerical place holder such as an asterisk (*) or a dash (-) to the end of your postal code in order to make it 5-digits. If the billing address you have entered is correct, yet you are receiving an AVS Mismatch message, you may need to check with your bank and make sure they have your correct billing address on file.
The first thing to consider when using this store is that you will not go to different pages to view releases from different labels that we carry. Instead you will use the check boxes and drop down menus to customize the store page to include the items from our inventory that you wish to view.
Think of these check boxes as options to increase the amount of items from our store that you will see on the page.
For example: If only the Dischord Records box is checked then you will only be able to browse Dischord releases. If you check both the Dischord Records and Partner Labels boxes then you will bring ALL the releases from our partner labels as well as Dischord to your page, and so on.
Think of the pull down menus as filters, or as tools to narrow down how many items show up on the page.
For example: If you have both the Dischord Records and Partner Label boxes checked -- and then select Lovitt from the Labels pull down menu, you will bring only Lovitt releases onto the page, and so on.
If you wish to view only one specific media, i.e. DVD, you can use this tool to view only that specific media within the categories you have selected.
This menu will show you releases that individual staff members recommend, regardless of what boxes or menus are selected.
If you check this box you will see all the releases we have on sale, regardless of what boxes or menus are selected.
At any time you can sort the titles you have selected on your page by band name, catalog number, or title name.
Use this function to search the catalog by band, artist, band member, title name, etc.
