2. EP – After School by
Melanie Martinez
• This is an EP, which means
extended play. Due to the
vinyl having fewer songs that
an LP or full-length album,
LP’s are usually 10-16 songs
long. EP’s tend to have 4-7
songs.
3. LP- Portals by
Melanie Martinez
• LP’s, as we know, mean full-
length albums. Track
numbers and play time
usually go from 30-50
minutes, with the album
having 10-16 tracks usually
in total.
4. Staff Question – What’s the process
of stocking new music like?
• The process of stocking new music is a
multifaceted endeavor that requires careful
attention to logistics, organization, and
customer engagement. By adapting to evolving
trends and maintaining strong ties with the
local music community, a record store can
enhance its success and reputation. focusing
on each detail, a record store can elevate its
new music stocking process from a routine task
to a dynamic and engaging experience that
resonates deeply with customers and
contributes to the store's enduring success.
8. Promotion: The
Store’s App
• The app this store is
promoting is currently used
to listen to instore listening
parties, as well as to shop for
different music materials
such as CD’s, vinyl’s, limited
edition products, and more!
9. My Reflection
• I would use this store for a newly come indie
artist. We would first have to work on the
album and the quality of it. Making sure it is
recorded professionally, as well as mixed and
mastered. Establishing an online presence
would be the next step, due to the fact that
creating live events within the record store, as
well as partnering up with the business would
be more effective. From there, it can follow-up
to be listening parties of this artist’s new
album, as well as networking with fans, and
other professionals you may stumble upon.
