FAQ
Q: What’s the price of admission at your in-stores? How can I get tickets?
A: Our in-stores are free to the public and seating is general admission.
Q: Where do the bands play?
A: In the Sound Fix Lounge, behind the record store.
Q: What time should I show up?
A: Please don’t call and ask us this. We don’t know. We can’t look into the future. Every show is different. Sometimes people show up an hour early to get a good spot, sometimes the place is empty a half hour before showtime. If you really love the band and want a good spot, get here early. That’s all we can say.
Q: Is Sound Fix one word or two?
A: Two words! Please do not spell it “Soundfix.” It really drives me crazy.
Q: Do you carry CDs and LPs from unsigned bands on consignment?
A: Yes. We’re always on the lookout for good bands. If you want Sound Fix to stock your band’s music, send us a link to your MySpace page or any other web site where we can hear your music (we’re trying to cut down on the number of CDs scattered about the store), and we’ll get back to you.
Q: Can my band come play at your space?
A: Sure. Now that we are transforming the cafe to a proper music venue, we are now very open to having local bands play at our space. You can e-mail us or just swing by the space to talk.
Q: Do you carry vinyl?
A: Oh yeah. New and used, including many rarities.
Q: Are you interested in buying my used CDs and LPs?
A: Definitely. If your CDs are in lousy condition (read: scratched), please don’t bother. In general, our used CD section complements our new one, so no Michael Bolton and Celine Dion, please. With vinyl, good condition is a necessity. If the album jacket is badly frayed and has a ring on it, that will affect its worth greatly. Oh, and leave the Molly Hatchett and Styx LPs at home.
Q: Why do you not carry the Beatles?
A: No disrespect to the Fab Four, or the Rolling Stones, the Doors, and Creedence Clearwater Revival for that matter, but we simply don’t have the room to carry all the classic rock out there. There are exceptions, but by and large we focus our efforts and resources on new and exciting music from the indie labels and distributors. So please don’t be offended if we don’t have Sgt. Pepper’s. Besides, thanks to Michael Jackson, the list price is $18.99.
Q: How do I order your products online?
A: We use PayPal. We find this to be the easiest and safest way for customers to order CDs. PayPal is simple to join and it’s one of the most reliable services for Internet transactions.
Q: Are you hiring?
A: Bring by a resume and we’ll talk. You never know.
Q: Where is Beacon’s Closet?
A: A block and a half from the store, down N. 11th St. Please stop asking.
Q: What’s the greatest album of all time?
A: Depending on my mood, Neil Young’s Tonight’s the Night or the Who’s Sellout.
