Preserving Record Shop

Preserving Record Shop Hours for the week announced every Sunday evening. If Google says we're open ... we are open! Please call into the shop to make these arrangements.

PRESERVING takes prides in paying fair, transparent prices for collections both large and small. Finding himself frustrated with other stores often making insulting offers, owner AJ Rassau found himself sometimes traveling as far Japan in order to receive fair trade-in values for his collection.

​Over the past two years of running the store, it has become a sense of personal pride to send custome

rs away feeling good about not only the amount of cash or trade value they received, but the fact that they know their collection is being given the time and respect deserved and, most importantly, being put into the hands of a new generation of music lovers. While most small trades can be handled in a short time span, larger collections of higher-ticketed items can be dropped off, researched overnight and an itemized spreadsheet will be made available with a breakdown per unit. We also are willing to travel for large collections to be inspected with offers made. We are open to any and all forms of music. Full length albums from the 60s to today are preferred but anything will be given the time of day. Vinyl preferred but always taking CDs, cassettes and band shirts as well. We do not take 45s, 78s or 8 Tracks (unless you are looking to donate them).

Here's a glimpse.

SORRY EVERYONE... THESE ARE LOCATED IN NEW KEN. We were logged into the wrong Instagram account when we posted these earlier this morning.

Stayed late last night which delayed dinner for the dogs to make sure we had these out for yinz for the weekend.

I mean it when I say that these are the nicest condition Thrash and Hard Rock records that you'll ever see

It's Saturday and we're going to be here until 9 PM.

THEY'RE OUT... but it's just the beginning of the onslaught of LPs hitting the floor today and the rest of the weekend.

It's Friday and somehow we have no show so we're here until 7 PM!

HERE'S THE FUNNY PART...

We built this up in under one week... and then we entirely disassembled this last night because we needed space for the three best collections we've had in a minute (that we're currently processing right now).

They are...

500 unique Pink Floyd LPs. Imports, box sets, solo projects, singles and SOME boots can be found here (on top of our already extensive Pink Floyd section). Bootlegs can be found at our Dormont location (over 200 of them, in fact... check for a sneak peak). These are now complete and on the floor at both locations.

Over 500 NEAR MINT Thrash, Heavy Metal & Hard Rock LPs which will mostly stay here. These are being processed as we speak.

1200 modern Deathcore, Death Metal and Horror soundtrack LPs ALL RARE VARIANTS. These are showing up later today.

Wild week to say the least. It's Thursday and we'll be here until 11 PM pricing records.

SORRY! Apparently these haven't been posting to Facebook the past few days but trust us.... there's been a lot going on here lately. We'll show you tomorrow!

It's Wednesday and we're here until 11 PM
