A trip to Creep Records in Philadelphia

Creep Records is always my favorite place to get rare and limited edition vinyl. On my most recent trip there, I did just that.

My purchases:
Sunny Day Real Estate- LP 2:
Emo band, Sunny Day Real Estate only released two albums back in the '90s. Both albums defined emo music and gained the band a loyal fan base. LP 2 actually has no title; its cover art is simply just pink with the words "Sunny Day Real Estate" typed in small font in the middle. Fans did not know what to call the album, so they just called it LP 2. The best song on LP 2 is "Bucket of Chicken". This bucket of chicken has nothing to do with the song lyrics, just like any of the band's other song titles. The song is moody and slow, but starts to pick up and become upbeat and loud by the chorus. This album is pressed on opaque light pink vinyl.

Nirvana- Come As You Are
Promo copies of any band's singles are always hard and rare to find. Promo copies of Nirvana's singles are nearly impossible to find, that is why I was so surprised to find this promo copy of Nirvana's 1992 single, Come As You Are. The song is moody and my least favorite song of the band's Nevermind album, but a promo copy is a promo and copy. If I did not buy it, someone else would have in the next ten minutes.

Mudhoney- Since We've Become Translucent
Mudhoney have been releasing albums since 1989 are still making them. Their 2002 release, Since We've Become Translucent is pressed on clear vinyl, playing off the album's title.
