• Melvins – Nude with Boots  Finally out on LP and on RED vinyl. Latest full length on Ipecac.

• Sunny Day Real Estate – Both LPS on color with great liner notes and bonus tracks. Comes with downloads too! thank you Sub Pop!
• The Breeders – Pod and Last Splash A nice sturdy reissue of indie rock blueprint. On PLain Recordings and 180 gram lps.
• Wolfmother – Cosmic Egg Nice Double LP and MUCH lower priced that the first album.
• Mewithoutyou – Three Lps are in print right now and are selling like hotcakes! Long sought after! We are glad to have these available here for probably the first time.
• Sigur Ros – DMM Remastered Limited Edition Reissues on 180 Gram vinyl of Agaetis Byrjun and ( ). Import only from Europe on Fat Cat.
• Lucinda Williams – Happy Woman Blues & Ramblin’ on My Mind Two new reissues from Smithsonian Folkways imprint. Her first two records in such an awesome package. These are so high quality. & won’t be around for ever.

Modest Mouse – Interstate 8 Uber rare Ep from MM. Five early tracks of vintage sounds. But the real bonus is a six song ep hidden on the end. Recorded by Isaac Brock in his garage. Modest Beginnings, indeed.

The Beatles – Remasters Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Well I wasapprehensive about this reissues series but the proof is in the pudding. AND they are stunning. Flat out. The real proof to is the last two songs on this absolutely art-tastic LP. The theme song reprise that rocks into the goosebump inducing epic – A Day in the Life. Inspiring.

PIXIES – Doolittle I’m going to see them in Nov. play this album all the way through so it has to make an appearance. I believe the term is re-obsessing??

Massive Moth – Heavy Hand of Whimsy A new local release and long anticipated too. Cooler than school tunes that wind around. Somehow this record is light pop and keeps the low end pounding probably thanks to the shirtless wonder that is Dug Hoffman.

If you didn’t realize it, there are actually three Ranch Records locations. You can see photos and find directions to each in the handy, dandy location section. The staff page has some photos and information on all your record idols.

Coming soon there will be a historic account of Ranch Records’ epic rise. Eventually you will also be able to buy from Ranch online through this very site.

And, of course there’s the blog. Stay tuned for updates on new releases, recommendations from the gurus behind the counter, posts on local music and a lot more. Should be exciting!
