Things of beauty, its rarer and rarer that you'll come away from a record store who go to the expense (if they can afford it) of having their logo printed onto the side of a bag. Even Other Music these days just use a plain orange bag...they stopped ages ago. Anyway, here, courtesy of Voices of East Anglia, is a nice little collection of record store bags. I've selected a few that caught my eye, but you can see their entire post here.
p.s. I was surprised that no Rough Trade shop made the cut.

People sorta still do. Amoeba does it. Aquarius does it. Exiled in PDX has a rubber stamp they stamp their paper bags with, ha.
ReplyDeleteepidode (YouTube) in the Fuse Crate Diggers series has more bags too.
ReplyDeletei dropped off several to Archives of Contemporary Music. boring ones, like TOWER RECORDS (i kept 1 for myself) and SOUNDS (paper bags) and VIRGIN and PRINCETON RECORD EXCHANGE. as you can tell, i have a small personal radius. (thanks for posting)
