JD McPherson NITE OWLS Color Vinyl LP Record NEW

JD McPherson NITE OWLS Color Vinyl LP Record NEW

JD McPherson has created something unique and amazing with his latest album, Nite Owls, his first album release since 2018’s critically acclaimed Christmas classic, SOCKS. Over the past 5+ years, McPherson has stayed consistently busy writing new songs while at the same time touring with Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. Being a touring musician offers the chance to see the sights, tour the town and pick up some inspiration from the local record shop. With Nite Owls, JD wanted to try something new and different. He wanted to take the inspiration from multiple decades and styles and incorporate them into his own sound. “The initial idea for the record was: It’s like if The late-60s Ventures were the session band on the first New Order record.” Says, McPherson. Idea achieved. Nite Owls delivers the signature sounds of vintage garage-rock while also seamlessly bridging the sounds of Bowie and Alan Vega. Songs such as “Sunshine Getaway”, “The Rock and Roll Girls” and “I Can’t Go Anywhere with You” sound like Chuck Berry is jamming with Buddy Holly. While songs like “Nite Owls” and “Don’t Travel Through the Night Alone” give a nod to the Factory sound from the UK. The throwback sound of the lone instrumental track “The Phantom Lover of New Rochelle” would make Dick Dale ride and Link Wray rumble. With Nite Owls, McPherson takes inspiration from multiple genres of the past and combines them together to evolve a sound that is all his own.

About NINEVOLT RECORDS

ARE MY NEW RECORDS ALWAYS SEALED?

Yes, usually. New records are mostly sealed. However, exceptions include those that I had to take images of and those that were shipped without shrink. In the case of a NEW opened record, the actual record and the empty cover will be placed inside a soft 3mm record sleeve when shipped. And that's how you should store your vinyl anyway. And it's better for shipping because it basically prevents seem splits. Also, to preserve the integrity of the packaging, I will include the original hype sticker and any others on the new outer sleeve 99% of the time. (A few can be impossible to remove without tearing. In those rare cases, I'll still include it, just with the shrink stuck on the back inside the pocket.)

Some labels ship their records without shrink but inside an outer open sleeve for protection. So please don't think it isn't new because of that. It's just how some of the indie labels ship their records, which again is actually much better than shrink. SEALED is overrated.

IMPORTANT NOTE HERE:

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SEAM SPLITS.

I will gladly open your sealed record upon your request and carefully place the actual record in a soft 3mm sleeve and ship both the empty cover and the record inside together but separate. Ta da: no seam splits!

QUALITY CONCERNS...

Please note that NOT all NEW and SEALED records come from the pressing plant totally flawless. While it's extremely rare, some newly pressed vinyl can be damaged; scratched, warped, cracked, mislabeled, dirty, dusty, etc. PLEASE do not assume I sent you a bad record intentionally. Just shoot me a message and we can replace it if I have one in stock. And if I tell you an open record is unplayed, then it is, regardless of any damage that occurred before the label shipped it to me. BUT IF YOU HAVE DAMGE OR SCRATCHES after buying an unplayed record, PLEASE contact me immediately and we will find a solution to your satisfaction. Just realize that not all records come out of the factory always perfect.

SHIPPING...

I am dealing with cancer, and NINEVOLT is just me. Therefore, I have put a little longer shipping times on my records to counter those days when it's hard to even get out of bed. The timeframe doesn't mean I will always take a few extra days to ship your record, but instead, it gives me a bit of a reprieve if I get weak on occasion and find it hard to get out of bed one day. So I TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING and SUPPORT.

IT'S JUST ME.

I do this on my own and selling records (especially new ones) isn't as profitable as you might think. So why do I do it? Because like you, I love music. I live for it. I write songs and play guitar so this is natural stuff to me. It's my vibe and a love affair and my life. I love turning people on to new bands, new songs, new sounds. And I hope I have bands and artists you might not see everywhere. Although she's amazing, I won't be selling Taylor Swift records as it's just too competitive to make a even a dollar.

PRICING... Arrrggghhh.

I know some records are expensive. Well, most of them are. But the profit margins on new ones are silly bad. So, to keep my water warm and my microwave working, I've got to turn a profit. Right? And not being some behemoth monster record store or a big box retailer like Target, I don't get those deep discounts or markdowns on my wholesale costs. And darn it, everything is just expensive. So bear with me. I'll do the best I can.

I KNOW IT TOTALLY BLOWS WHEN YOUR RECORD ARRIVES DAMAGED...

Again, I can't be responsible for seam splits... BUT you have the option to have me carefully and delicately open any sealed record and re-packaged with the cover and record shipped in a soft 3mm sleeve together but separate. (Used records are open so they obviously ship that way.) And you'll have any hype sticker and any others on the shrink included.

JUST SAY SO IN A MESSAGE WHEN YOU PLACE YOUR ORDER

Also, if you are ordering an expensive record (around $75 or more), I'll ALWAYS put extra cardboard flats inside the package to keep the shipping box firm and the record protected. And in the case of box sets or a multiple records order that has some weight to it, I will ALWAYS enforce the corners of the outside with cardboard strips for further protection. My packaging is superb.

IS IT COLORED VINYL...

If I know the record is a color variant, it will always say COLOR in the listing. The image will almost always feature the color and be listed in in the description.

If it's BLACK, there usually no mention of the word COLOR. Maybe I'll change that practice and just put BLACK in the listing.

ALSO NOTE THAT some labels make so many variant colors for the same title. And believe it or not, if I order multiple colors of the same title, sometimes they aren't even marked giving me no idea which variants I received. So at times I have to split the seal.

PLEASE shoot me a message with any questions. OR any specifics in shipping your records.

And thanks for the support!
