WE BUY RECORD COLLECTIONS

If you would like to sell your record collection please email us: explodingzoo@gmail.com

Joe's Exploding Zoo seeks record collections. We purchase soundtrack albums, post-punk, industrial, power-pop, electronic, experimental and avant garde vinyl.

Spoken word albums are right up our alley, and the weirder they are or the most unclassifiable the better.

We also have a project that requires collection and archiving of “adult” and “adults only” vinyl records.

This is a fascinating sub-genre of the record industry that we definitely want more of for a variety of reasons including a proposed art show featuring these records in all of their problematic glory.

The vintage sexism, the male-gazey objectification, and incredible no-budget qualities of these productions make them museum pieces of the highest order for those of us who love to marvel at the horrifying practices of cultural movements past.

Please give us an idea of the titles, condition, and volume of the collection. We do travel to view record collections of a size that might justify such a journey, but such arrangements are made on a case-by-case basis.

Please be as detailed as possible when contacting us and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for reading and we hope to hear from you soon…

One last thing: We are NOT interested in show tunes, contemporary country (1990 and later), contemporary hip hop (typically nothing issued in1991 or later), or classical records. We DO want hip hop released prior to 1991 and select country albums from the golden age.
