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!

A note about magazines...

We ship all magazines via USPS First Class Mail and Priority Mail -- Media Mail is not an option for magazines through our website. If interested, we can ship via Bound Printed Matter (it's cheaper at $3.99 but considerably slower) through our Amazon shop -- check out our listings there.

International Shipment Update

Until the VAT/IOSS situation gets cleared up, we will not be shipping to the UK, EU or Australia. Most international shipping is a nightmare right now so for now we just aren't doing it. However, we will continue shipping to Canada and Japan. If/when the VAT/IOSS business clears up, we'll update our shipping to include other countries (but it might be only through Discogs since they are registered to collect and submit VAT and we aren't).
