Electric Ladyland

For nearly 30 years me and my friends have jokingly referred to the «LP Prison» maintained by Electric Ladyland, which consisted of records that the proprietor decided at some point were «rare» or unusual and which were then assigned circa 1985 peak prices and placed far from customers behind a very tall counter along several of the establishment’s inner walls.
For the most part, the imprisoned LPs have remained there untouched as time passed. As you might imagine, in several decades’ some of those records became worthless with respect to the peak sticker price, while still others became far more valuable with respect to the old sticker price.
Nowadays, the business is being run by several young women who’re trying to update the store in many ways (it’s safe to say that the majority of business here in recent years is from the «head shop/​smoke shop» aspect that the business always had).
As part of the new moves at E.L., I am happy to report that «LP Prison» has been busted open wide and the formerly untouchable vinyl is now liberated into a large bin on the Bardstown Road side window. I bought nearly all the really good stuff (having spent close to $ 500 on two recent lazy Memorial Day weekend afternoons).
However, there are still a lot of decent LPs that I already have and/​or don’t care to own… and these records are nearly almost all in near-​mint condition. VERY PLAYABLE! Rush over there now and stock up.
Also, about those prices. I was jesting about them being priced in 1985 but suffice to say it’s been a while. As such, prices are VERY soft on records now and you need only utter the word «discount» to get a steep bargain. If a record seems really overpriced, recommend you look it up on Discogs and with your research in hand make an offer based on the evidence.
Welcome back, Electric Ladyland! I have hopes that you’ll keep moving into the right direction and my regular stops will continue to help me build the best collection possible.

I came in asking about a product I had heard great things about from many people only for the sales associate to scare me into buying something else because he claimed that product I was asking about «wouldn’t work, at all.» The product he sold me was DOUBLE the price of the original product I was asking about and it ultimately DID NOT work. Avoid this place like the plague, they will rip you off with a smile on their face. I called and explained the situation to the manager and she didn’t even offer the slightest apology. Instead of spending your money here you should check out The Herb Import Company, 978 Barret Ave, Louisville, KY 40 204 — (502) 333‑6118. They’ll shoot it to you straight!

I used to liked Electric Ladyland when they were in their old storefront down the street better. For used CDs and records, they are overpriced. Not impressed with the record collection anymore. The record selection seems to be looked over $ 1 bin records that nobody wants. It was a good place ten years ago and don’t see how they can compete with the other used record/​cd shops in the area. Maybe they should compare their prices against other stores to see why people don’t go there like they used to.
A little disappointed that they are now known as more of a head shop than music shop.
