TITAN It's All Pop 4 LPs 24 Page Booklet Numero Group NEW Midwest Power Pop NM

Hello and thank you for checking out my record listings!  I am a lifelong record-head who's selling his archives of about 4,000 lps because I'm BROOOOOKE! :)

I love this box set especially because TITAN was a KCMO based label and that's where I live.  Kickass POWER POP from the late 70's early 80's in this gorgeous box set.  The vinyl is essentially unplayed.  I picked this up when NUMERO came through town on a POP UP tour.
From 1978 to 1981, the Titan label issued just eight records, but over the years their tiny catalog has crawled to the top of power-pop want lists worldwide and appeared on scads of homemade tapes, building a legacy to rival L.A.’s Bomp! or New York’s Ork. Cut off in fly-over country, Titan fostered a scene of its own, imported its own skinny ties, and scoured the Missouri valley for its own talent. The label’s Midwest AM bubblegum roots are apparent in the likes of Gary Charlson, the Secrets*, Arlis!, Gems, Millionaire At Midnight, the Boys, J.P. McClain & the Intruders, Bobby Sky, and Scott McCarl, but Titan’s acts took cues from Stiff too, along with the glam-punk spit being hocked off the 100 Club stage. MORE POWER POP
In May of 2018 I racked up $100,000 worth of credit card debt making my first feature film entitled: WRETCH.  If you're interested in 80's sci-fi/horror/arthouse cinema and the work of David Lynch, you might consider renting my film on Amazon iTunes or most streaming platforms.  You can watch the trailer here:  https://youtu.be/pgkm_0AEsH8

AAAAND...on May 31st I was in a bicycle accident and shattered my right wrist and now I have a mountain of hospital bills to pay for because I wasn't insured.

So there's my sob story. Now let's make a deal!

I've been collecting records since 1992. most of the listings are going to be pretty straightforward with one to four pics of the album in question.  I've done my best to grade fairly and accurately.  If you need to see more pictures let me know and I'll take some for you and send through direct messager.

I used to work in a record store and I use pretty standard grading methods: POOR/FAIR/G/VG/VG+/EX/NM.  In my listings, the condition of the album is listed first (VG) / the condition of the jacket is listed second (G) = VG/G I am erring on the side of grading fairly conservatively in most instances.

I'm starting most of my listings at the low-to-medium end of what the same albums have sold for in the past according to eBay and Discogs. That said, I plan to put "or best offer" on most of my listings as well, so we can make a deal need be.

I encourage anyone who wants to purchase multiple albums to message me with your proposal, we can try to work out a discount!

I will be shipping out all sold albums weekly on Saturdays. So, if you buy, and pay for, a record from me on Monday, you'll have to wait a few extra days...unless you need it rushed and in that case you can reach out to me and we can make other arrangements. Since I am unemployed right now and I have this broken wrist things are going slowly but I am around and available to respond to inquiries and offers readily.

All sales will be final. If you receive your album and you think I was horrendously off and my grading...we can discuss.  

I want my records to go to good new homes.  They've brought me much joy over the years and now it's time to let them go, but I definitely need to make decent money in the process!

I WILL OFFER A COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLE LPS. Shipping costs takes supplies and USPS Media Mail rate into account.

So keep checking back as I'll be listing new albums all through July and August until everything is up online.  And please, if you like 80s sci-fi and horror films offbeat quirky surreal and absurdist stuff, please consider checking out my feature film and help spread the word, it'll help me a ton.

Thank you very much,
-Matthew
