Newbury Comics-Executive Ofcs

Becareful! Cool stuff, love the colored vinyl — but resort to predatory pricing practices and worse yet, they claim limited runs — like 1000 only pressings — which is true, until they sell out, then they press another 1000! So you think you are getting a collectors item, pay the price accordingly, only to find your item diluted. Also watch out buying their stuff on sites other than their own. They will charge beaucoup bucks on discogs or amazon eBay etc. Cool guys while the slip their fingers into your wallet. Which of course ain’t so cool. Buy elsewhere if you can, and beware of their attempts to arbitrage retails sites. MIT clever boys who wink while they take your hard-​earned cash.

Lemme see, I guess I’ll pick this one since it remains untouched…
If it wasn’t for
, I would have never known that this franchise exists.
Ya ever see that «buy it for less» link on each amazon listing?
Well, more often than not, I click on it, and am always rewarded with a fresh, factory sealed CD at a nifty discount shipped faster than a maglev train.
Don’t ask about all the CD’s I’ve purchased from ‘em since I stopped keeping track over ten years ago, but a copy of Witchery’s latest blackened thrash metal effort «Witchkrieg» came to me in the mail the other day, and I figgered I’d review them. Wot the ‘ell.
When I order a CD from Newbury, it’s here before I think of it, and is always in excellent condition with no scratches or crushed pivots (I HATE those ’cause it means the CD moves around in the jewel case and you have to replace the tray… aaarrgghh!!!) to be found.
Do they even sell comics? I dunno. I’d like to know about their selection since the funny books are my other jones.
The Pittsburgh institution known as Eide’s Entertainment (look ‘em up) has a very cool, geeky cousin with great taste in tunage in Massachusetts that I know online but have yet to meet in person, like many a social networking friend. If I ever find myself in town, I shall darken Newbie’s doorstep and loaf a while.
Until then, Newbury Comics routinely supplies me with new heavy metal noise, enabling my steel obsession when local stores fail me or when I’m too busy or sluggish to go on the hunt like the music hounds of old once did. I mean, ya just point and click. It’s so easy, seductive… and you’re online anyway…
Besides, each time I get a package in the mail, it’s like X-​Mas. :D And don’t worry greenies, I open the padded envelopes carefully and reuse them.
Kill iTunes. Buy CD’s.
P. S. I dig that deranged smiley face logo with the large teeth and lazy eye that I see on every package I get from Newbie’s.
