Parasol Mail Order

Home of Parasol Records, Hidden Agenda, Mud Records, Spur Records, Reaction Recordings, Action Musik and Bird Song Recordings. We also sell a ton of other stuff.

Welcome to Parasol Mail Order...

Only a small portion of our inventory is listed on our website. Head over to Discogs to see all our CDs, LPs, 45s and DVDs (click here to browse almost 9,000 items). If you are in the Urbana-Champaign area, you are welcome to stop by Parasol HQ and browse the bins. We even have some stuff hidden away here you won't find on-line! But, be forewarned, only our 12" vinyl and about half our CDs are priced and organized in a browsing sort of way -- the rest of the CDs and 7" singles are setup so we can find them (not so much so you can)... we're working on that.

A note about magazines...

USPS is no longer allowing magazines to be shipped via Media Mail. They will only let us ship them via First Class and Priority Mail. We have removed Media Mail as an option for magazines. Sorry.
