Hey there! Ever wondered who’s behind the scenes at Appare Records? That’d be us—a small team of music lovers who started this shop because, honestly, we just couldn’t find the vinyl gems we craved. And guess what? Every email you send lands directly in our inbox—no bots, no filters. Jake, our founder, still replies to most messages himself (though he’s a bit slow on Mondays after record-hunting weekends).
Got a question about that limited-edition pressing? Need help with an order? Or maybe you just want to geek out about your latest crate dig? Here’s how to reach us:
Hours: Monday–Friday, 9am–6pm EST. Weekends? We’re probably at a record fair.
Last month, a customer’s random email about 80s Japanese city pop led us to stock an entire section—now it’s our bestseller. So yeah, we actually listen. Not sure if your idea’s "weird enough"? Try us. (Confession: Our team once spent 3 hours debating whether vaporwave counts as "elevator music for the internet age.")
Live Chat? We’re old-school—prefer emails or calls where we can really chat. But if you must send a carrier pigeon, our warehouse guy promises not to scare it away.
P.S. If you’re in Boston, check our Instagram for surprise pop-up shops. Sometimes Jake brings his dog, and rumor has it she’s excellent at picking jazz records.
