As I look back on 2009, I feel like we had a pretty solid year with the releases we put out. We experienced some difficulties, but I think we still got around to putting out some great records. The year’s release list would have looked even better had we been able to end the year with the new Tim Barry or new Look Mexico albums which was originally the plan. Those 2 releases will definitely make for a strong start of 2010. As you compile your year end best records’ lists, take a gander at the releases we put out in 2009. This list will also be the basis of our 8th day of Xmas sales. Expect those shortly.
Not that I expect our releases to make your year end best list, I am curious which of our records would make your favorite Suburban Home/Vinyl Collective releases of 2009? What are your overall best of for 2009?
I am thinking about putting together some form to submit your tops of the year so we can post year end lists on our site.
