Some of this week's new arrivals...

New stuff this week includes the debut LP from Chicago's Sharp Pins, some older GospelbeacH, Pearl Charles' 2021 album "Magic Mirror" and three more titles from The Jam -- all on vinyl. We also got another box from the Felt reissues series (we now have four of them in-stock, this one is #8: Pictorial Jackson Review). We finally got a copy of Cherry Red's 7-CD Pentangle box (includes all their albums from 1968-1972). As always, a handful of catalog titles: Guy Chadwick (House of Love), Julian Cope, Blondie, Slowdive, Fugees, Cardigans, Emmitt Rhodes and Pete Shelley. Stop by the next time you're in the neighborhood...
