The “Quint” is available in an alternate mesh back like this one we produced for Ryan Bingham’s tour. This build is perfect for summer work weather and has our standard deep fit not like other mesh back ball caps. We can outfit you in over 300 soft cotton colors and 50+ mesh shades. Stand out instead of settling for standard.

Record Store Day is just over two weeks away! Here’s your guide to the day if you’re able to come by the shop!

From 8am to Noon on Saturday April 18th we are by appointment only. From Noon to 7pm we’re open to the public as normal.

We have TWO free posters for all attendees AND our RSD 2026 tote will be FREE if you spend over $200 at our shop that day while supplies last! If you want to guarantee yourself a totebag you can pre-order on our website by tapping the image here!

RSD releases are one copy per person on Record Store Day and as many as you want starting the day after.

If you do not have an appointment and want to come by before we open to the public at Noon we encourage you to line up to the right of our door going towards Oscar’s. DO NOT crowd the door itself. We get no shows and will be letting folks in when we’re able so if you want you’re welcome to try!

When we open at noon we will be metering entry so we can maintain a good amount of folks in the shop without it being overwhelming for anyone. You may have to wait a little while but the need to meter usually dissipates pretty quickly.

At this time all appointments have sold out but we do have cancellations from time to time so it’s worth checking out our website to see if the RSVP page has reappeared.

Those appointments being sold out DOES NOT mean we won’t have that thing you’re looking for when we open to the public at Noon. Every year we have dozens of people come by late in the afternoon after wasting their entire morning at one of the bigger stores who are amazed that we have everything they were looking for. We get great fill on our orders and we promise it’ll be worth coming by. #RecordStoreDay #RecordStore #RSD2026 #Oakland #1234gorecords

For too long Tim Burton has had a monopoly on skulls at Christmas. NO LONGER! These two layer laser cut acrylic ornaments are made by an Oakland based artist (www.spookyhaus.com) for us based on a design from our friends at Hard Candy (www.tryhardcandy.com)...also Oakland based if you can believe it.

The beard is connected to the skull via jump rings and swings freely in whatever breeze may be happening inside your home. You may want to look into weather stripping for your doors and windows. You’ll save a fortune in energy costs. ANYWAY, enough about stuff you need to yell at your landlord about or god forbid do yourself.

This thing is roughly 5” by 3” and I honestly believe every human between ages 0 and at least 72 will love it when they see it on your tree or hanging from your ears or whatever you choose to do.

This ornament is for 2025 only which I will probably regret but what are the holidays truly about if not regret? Anyway, get one now before they’re gone for good! Tap the i@age or head directly to www.1234gorecords.shop to order now!
