NEW STUFF FOR THIS WEEK

 Hello to everyone out there in the internet. Havent had much time to write on here lately as we have been hard at work on the store itself, trying our best to make HPR is a welcoming place to visit where you always leave with something your excited about regardless of what its what you walked in the door looking for or not.

  First of all we spent some time going through the CD's and ordering some much needed re-stock. We did a lot of ordering for the jazz and rock sections and hope to have all these items on the shelf by the end of the week including a bunch of Modest Mouse (including the infamous 764 hero split), Explosions in the Sky, Do Make Say Think, Mogwai (including the amazing soundtrack they recorded for the film Zidane) The National, Broken Social Scene, Radiohead, Slint, Fugazi,. Joy Division, Pavement and many others!!!

 Perhaps most exciting are the new additions to our Jazz vinyl section. I have been slowly getting them ready over the past week since I would like to make sure we are selling you a nice clean vinyl that you can enjoy (They may have a few scuffs but they all play great!). I will be putting out a nice chunk tomorrow including some amazing early Impulse and Blue Note releases.

 This stuff goes fast so get here early

 Love,

 HYDE PARK RECORDS

Release show for IKE 7 inch announced

Our first release "The I Know Everything 7 inch" will be released June 28th 2011. On that same night the band will be playing a very special show at The Fireside Bowl right here in Chicago.

 Fireside Bowl became legendary in the 1990's music scene in Chicago. You could literally see at least one good show a week at this spot all year long. Everyone from At the Drive in to Mineral and local legends like Braid could be seen at fireside bowl during its heyday.

We here at Hyde Park Records along with the members of IKE are very excited and honored to be able to do this show here. We would like to thank Sam at House Call Entertainment for making it possible!!

Make sure to RSVP to the show here:
