To listen is one thing, to hold the record is another. Each album we select carries more than music — it carries weight, presence, and the quiet authority of being chosen.

The Tracks & Tales Drops is not a store in the ordinary sense. It is a rotating cabinet of essentials and discoveries, five records at a time, priced not for speed but for permanence.

Some titles will be gone before you arrive. Others will return, though never in great number. Future drops are announced first to members of The Guide, because to collect is to belong.
