Drastic Plastic Records
About
Impact Merchandising is delighted to announce the creation of Drastic Plastic Records, a new division of the company dedicated to the reissue of classic punk and post-punk titles on collectible vinyl.
Impact Merchandising grew out of Omaha’s staple punk rock records store, Drastic Plastic (founded in 1982), and is now a highly successful merchandising company creating and selling products worldwide for such bands as The Ramones, The Velvet Underground, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and a whole host of other artists.
A vinyl reissue label, Drastic Plastic Records, was the logical next step for a company dedicated to honoring and disseminating the best in seminal rock ‘n’ roll. A recent Associated Press article states: “In 2008, more vinyl albums were purchased (1.88 million) than any other year since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. More than two of every three vinyl albums were purchased at an independent music store during the year.” Drastic Plastic Records is Impact’s answer to these significant cultural trends.
All records will be available on collectible 145 gram colored vinyl OR 180 gram black vinyl.
