The Caped Cod

Sad to hear this. Lenny was a good guy. When I had the shop he sold me his record collection, which included about 50 copies of Cyndi’s “She’s So Unusual” on different pressings. RIP.

We are sad to learn of the passing of Lennie Petze, the A&R legend who signed Cyndi Lauper, the band, Boston, and several others.
Here is the profile we did of Petze, who lived in Mashpee. We talked to Cyndi Lauper, Petze, and others about his amazing career.

Stop in for our BOGO sale on all red sticker dollar media (CDs, DVD, LPs, 45s, tapes etc…). All $1 items are buy one, get one and there’s a lot to choose from!

The new set up is just about complete. It’s getting super organized. Getting lots of positive feedback. Getting the CDs sorted out has been the main focus. We have an expanded Classical section, a huge dollar bin, Blues, Jazz, Soundtracks and Mixes all categorized and were through the letter O on alphabetizing the main inventory (you’re on your own for P-Z for a few more days 😆). Come on by.

Always looking for donations or collections to purchase. Drop me a DM.

If you come to Cape Abilities Thrift looking for our vinyl, CDs and DVDs, don’t fret! It’s not gone. We moved it all out to the back room to consolidate with a bunch of inventory The Caped Cod had back there already. We’ve been getting tons of great stuff in, and now it will all be in one room! A little bit of work to do still to make it all laid out just right. Come have a look. And remember, dont fret!
