IT'S ABOUT TIME I UPDATED THIS!
04-11-2026
Thanks very much for stopping by the site - I am truly overwhelmed and totally appreciate each and every customer that stops by! Hard to believe this idea I had in 2018 is now a full-scale reality for over 8 years and it's only going to continue to grow!
First of all, some bad news/good news! On April 27th, my flat rate shipping rate will be going up 50 cents to $5, BUT the good news is that free shipping on orders $60+ will still be eligible for free media mail shipping in the USA! I use the best LP mailers I know of, Whiplash, and just tried 2 cases of Mighty Music Mailers with equal success. CDs are also very safely packed - I do my absolute best to make sure your order arrives in the same condition as it was when it left AIR!
I've stated this elsewhere, but if you're interested in ordering from anywhere outside the USA, it is better to send me an email or fill out the contact form so I can give you an exact cost price quote on shipping. Just let me know what titles you're
interested in, along with your full mailing address (not just a zip code) and I'll get back to you within 24 hours with a price.
Interested in a title I don't carry or want a combo deal on 4 or more items? Email me and I'm happy to let you know if I can get it and the price - I'll also tell you if I see it elsewhere for a better deal! In this day and age, we all want the best deal we can get and I'll do my best to give you the lowest price I can!
I'm sure most of you know I also sell on Discogs. I've recently spent a great deal of time to make sure 99% of the titles listed here are also on there and vice-versa.
I encourage you to check out my feedback on there as well!

I've recently added a page with releases I'm planning on carrying as opposed to taking preorders - I only do preorders on a very few titles that my good friend, Henk Van Delden @ No Dust Records is releasing. You can reserve titles by sending me an email! I'll try to update this list once a month or more depending on how much time I have!
I've kept the Indie spotlight page alive as it still gets a lot of views (Thank you very much if you're someone that has landed here by visiting it)! I'll do my best to get more new stories added, as there are many bands that truly deserve to be heard!
The AIR T-shirts that are listed down below are still available very quickly for $13.38
from Amazon and Hoodies are coming soon too and will be available there for the eaxct cost that Amazon charges! I'll post a link once they are ready to order!
A couple new vinyl titles released by AIR will be in the works soon and once the order is placed, they will be announced and preorders taken. Stay tuned for details!
Thanks very much for reading this! I promise it won't be another 5 years until I post some news!

Although we have a contact form on the site, I can also be reached via email at joep976air@yahoo.com - Please feel free to reach out to me regarding selling your already released CDs for distro in our store, questions about shipping (I do offer 1st class / Priority mail shipping, but have the store set up for media mail as it is the most cost effective, although it does sometime take up to 2 weeks for your purchase to arrive), wholesale inquiries or trades. I am also ALWAYS buying used LPs/CDs and cassettes! I'd also like to hear any suggestions you may have - If you know of a band you think I should be carrying or maybe license their music for a future release, let me know!
Thanks very much for visiting the site and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Animated Insanity Records shirts now available!
I'm pleased to announce that AIR shirts (from small to triple Extra large!) are available via Amazon for $13.38! I make absolutely no money at all on these, but really appreciate anyone that wants to help spread the word of the site! The only catch is you have to be a Prime Member, but that does entitle you to free shipping and returns if you're not happy! They can be purchased at the following link:

I've been working with Henk Van Delden @ NO DUST RECORDS for just about 16 months and will be offering a large selection of the label's Vinyl and CD titles
in the USA on this site! As most of you are probably aware, shipping costs from Europe make it a very expensive deal to buy music, but buying in quantity helps keeps the cost affordable and I can pass the savings along to customers in the USA.
Brand-new LPs for sale in our store!!
We have a selection of metal/rock titles available in our store, and plenty more items will be listed in the coming days, including used LPs/CDs, books from my personal collection on musicians, the music business, etc, and whatever else I feel like carrying! There will also be a big focus on carrying independent rock/metal bands music here, as I've been a musician for over 30 years and am happy to sell
releases that friends of mine have put blood, sweat and teas into making.
If you have a release you'd be interested in having me carry,
feel free to contact me !
