Sub Pop Records, in conjunction with AMPED Distribution, a division
of Alliance Entertainment (Nasdaq: AENT), announces a major
campaign with Barnes & Noble that began October 2, 2024, and is
running through January 5, 2025.
The campaign features six Sub Pop limited edition color variant
vinyl LPs that are sold exclusively at Barnes & Noble stores.
Exclusive titles include Suki Waterhouse Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin
(Blood Moon Red Vinyl), Father John Misty Greatish Hits: I Followed
My Dreams and My Dreams Said to Crawl (Glacial Blue Vinyl), Beach
House Depression Cherry (Clear w/Silver Metallic & White
Vinyl), Fleet Foxes Fleet Foxes (Jade Blue Vinyl), Soundgarden
Screaming Life (Silver Metallic Vinyl), and Orville Peck Pony
(Clear w/Black & Red Hi-Melt Vinyl).
Crissi Bariatti, Senior Merchandise Manager, Music &
Video at Barnes & Noble, commented, “As a longtime fan
of Sub Pop Records and their artist roster, I am beyond excited to
launch this collaboration. Our customers will be eager to pick up
their favorite Sub Pop albums while adding to their collection in
our vast CD and Vinyl sections. Our goal in the Music department at
Barnes & Noble is to offer great music that our shoppers would
never find in other national retailers and to give those artists
and bands the attention they deserve.”
Customers who purchase any Sub Pop vinyl album
or CD title at a Barnes & Noble retail location receive a free
collectable Sub Pop Records/Barnes & Noble branded tote bag,
while supplies last. Sub Pop selections are featured on a special
endcap display at most Barnes & Noble stores across the U.S
throughout this campaign.
The all-new album Memoir of a Sparklemuffin from Suki Waterhouse
was also featured as one of Barnes & Noble’s Album of the Month
titles during the first month of the campaign.
The event includes a joint social media campaign with Barnes
& Noble, Sub Pop and AMPED airing a commercial post on social
media across many platforms. Stores are supplied with sign kits to
help merchandise this campaign in each store on designated endcap
racks and wall features.
Additionally, Sub Pop supplied artist-autographed versions of
some of the exclusive vinyl titles that will be given away at the
grand openings of the next 16 new Barnes & Noble stores, in
November 2024.
"This partnership with Barnes and Noble is all about Sub Pop's
single-minded pursuit of connecting fans with physical
records. In a world gone virtual, we love the fact that there
are Barnes & Noble stores in neighborhoods everywhere where
fans can go in and put their hands on a vinyl LP! Especially
a SUB POP LP!" said Jon Strickland, Head of
Sales at Sub Pop Records.
Karen Roth, Sales & Marketing Manager at AMPED
Distribution, commented, “We are thrilled to see this
unique collaboration between Barnes & Noble and Sub Pop
Records. It’s exciting to arrange such a significant partnership
between a leading retail chain and a prominent indie label. We are
proud to be part of this innovative campaign with these esteemed
partners.”
This campaign represents the first-of-its-kind between Sub Pop
Records and Barnes & Noble coordinated by AMPED, combining the
reach of a major retailer with the influence of a celebrated indie
label.

Founded by Bruce Pavitt and Jonathan Poneman in 1988, Sub Pop
Records is a legendary independent record label based in Seattle,

Sleater-Kinney, Beach House, Weyes Blood, Orville Peck, Suki
Waterhouse, and Father John Misty, among many other very talented
and deserving artists whose managers will be contacting us shortly
about inclusion in this list. At Sub Pop Records, it is our intent

truly love. We also enjoy laughter, good times and the company of
friends.
