Our two most popular Elvis hits packages have been on backorder for awhile now so we opted to bring in a personal favourite, ‘Elvis 56’. The organizing principle of ‘Elvis 56’ is simple: it's when Elvis Presley recorded these 22 tracks. It's also the year that Presley would become the biggest pop phenomenon since Frank Sinatra. The compilation chronicles Elvis' first recordings for RCA Records. The ultimate collection of Elvis' biggest singles that propelled him into a supers...tar. While we’re spinning our copy that was produced by Music On Vinyl, it has since been released domestically at a great value. We have a couple copies on sale right now due to a slight crease on the gatefold sleeve. https://www.pop-music.ca/elvis-presley-elvis-56-vinyl.html

We hope to offer curbside sales starting on Friday morning. Expect to see previews of our RSD offer in the coming days on our landing page. Our retail store is open 11-8 Sunday if you crave the Pop experience tomorrow. Our online store reflects the most accurate inventory on hand. Stay inspired... - Derek.

EARLY JONI 1963 is Joni Mitchell’s earliest-known previously unreleased recording where a 19-year-old Mitchell performs at CFQC AM, a radio station in her hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Like several of Mitchell’s past albums, the cover for EARLY JONI features a self-portrait and marks her first new art in many years. Barry Bowman was working as a DJ at radio station CFQC in 1963 and provides the notes for this album. Looking back, Mitchell reflects on her early label... of folk singer: The early stuff, I shouldn’t be such a snob against it. A lot of these songs, I just lost them. They fell away. They only exist in these recordings. For so long I rebelled against the term, ‘I was never a folk-singer.’ I would get pissed off if they put that label on me. I didn’t think it was a good description of what I was. And then I listened andit was beautiful. It made me forgive my beginnings. And I had this realizationI was a folk singer! This is second release from the newly established Joni Mitchell Archive Series, a collaboration with RHINO Records. https://www.pop-music.ca/joni-mitchell-early-joni-1963-viny

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Motörhead’s ‘Ace of Spades’ with this new half speed remaster out tomorrow! Upon its release in 1980, the ‘Ace Of Spades’ album was nothing short of a gamechanger for all forms of hard rock. Like lightning in a bottle, it perfectly captured everything great about hard rock, heavy metal, and punk, amped it all up to 11, and came racing out of the gates at what felt like a million miles an hour. Pushing at every musical boundary, nothing wa...s harder, nothing was faster, and certainly nothing was louder. This 40th Anniversary Expanded 3LP Edition includes: Brand new half speed master of the album created from the original tapes for optimal speaker smashing dynamic range. Double live album of a newly unearthed, previously unreleased concert, recorded at Whitla Hall, Belfast on 23rd December 1981 during the band's ‘Ace Up Your Sleeves’ Tour. The story of Ace Of Spades told through previously unpublished interviews with the people that were there. Never before seen photos and rare memorabilia. https://www.pop-music.ca/motorhead-ace-of-spades-40th-tripl

Look at the stars, look how they shine for you. Twenty summers ago, Coldplay became one of the biggest bands in the world with the release of their debut album ‘Parachutes’. ...

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary, Parlophone are releasing this limited edition YELLOW vinyl on Friday. https://www.pop-music.ca/coldplay-parachutes-20th-anniversa
