I hope their new location shows off their gear in better ways. I stopped buying vinyl years ago, but I'd way rather buy studio monitors and MIDI controllers from Platinum than from Guitar Center or Amazon.

Those guys are great, one of the couple places I miss having moved off the Hill. I don't give a shit about vinyl, but they're super knowledgable and helpful both selling and fixing pro sound & lighting.

Well, there goes the best way to see a single Block Party band without spending $40 or braving a throng of day-drunk dipshits.

Supposedly, Platinum's longstanding refusal to be within Block Party grounds was a major annual source of friction with the owners of certain adjacent businesses, including one that shares Platinum's building.

Can't help but wonder if that has anything to do with this lease termination. (Total speculation, of course.)

i has a sad

Wow, all the hate for vinyl. As one who started with only 45s and LPs and has used everything since, I liked Platinum for their knowledge and resources. Also they do repairs! Hoping they find a new home and fast.

How about the old Twilight Exit building on 22nd and Madison? That shit has been vacant for years.
