My vinyl obsession began at a pretty young age. My 6 older siblings saw to that. Records were always on at our house; Sabbath, Coltrane, Stones, Fabs (of course), Tops, Temps, Miles, Eddie Cochran, Otis, from the boys, to David Cassidy, Simon & Garfunkel, Carole King, Elvis, Fabs (of course), from the girls. The parents offered Sinatra, Big Bands, Ink Spots, Weavers, Seegers and the other folkies, and on my own I fell in love with Elvis Costello, Blue Note, Ramones, Clash, Staples, Buddy Holly, Pretties, Fabs (of course), Stax, Johnny Cash, and so many more. After college, I worked in music retail for a number of years, saw tons of live music, played in a couple of bands, and amassed an unruly amount of records, toys, mags, and just about anything I deemed “cool”. I started selling online in 1990 as Get Left Records, and have grown in size and stature since then. What started as a passion and a hobby has exploded into a business now called Orbit Records. My aim has always been to never have to wear a suit to a “real” job, and so far I’ve managed to fulfill that goal. Lucky me! This website is filled with love, so if you are a fan of good music, pin-up girls, robots, monsters and other assorted weirdness, you have landed at the right place – lucky you! The current plan is to have set sale items here, and auctions on my eBay site. If it doesn’t sell there, it will become a set sale item here. I hope to have 20-30 auction items up at all times, so it will be ever evolving. It is also a work in progress, so feel free to bookmark the site, and stop back often to see what’s new. If you have any suggestions or comments, drop me a line at one of the links in the contact file.
Have fun!
