Has anyone bee to Val Shively Records lately? Is that place picked over, or does he still buy for the store?

He's got plenty of sick records left, dude.

You have to pay and you have to hope he likes you.

I heard you have to bring a list too because unless he likes/kmows you you can't go dig??

tripledouble

if he thinks youll spend a little bread, he'll give you run of the place. if he thinks youre a dipshit, its gonna be tough going

I so would love (& have contemplated more than once) to jump on a plane just to go dig at that place, but I fear I may have a heart attack at the sheer massiveness of the amount of 45s........ also, it's a long way to fly to then get denied.....

You wouldn't get denied.

Still to this day a very cool shop, perhaps especially for NON soul/doowop/funk 45s.

or does he still buy for the store?

I've never been there.
I have heard many stores, and have talked to Val on the phone.

I would assume that he will be buying until he closes the store.
It is a passion for him.

I doubt he has to work hard to buy.
He has been one of thee best known buyers and sellers for decades.
The records come to him.
