 Roll over mall stores
 and tell Santa the news...

In the year of our sound, 2007, all of us at Vinyl Fever wish you the gifts of music. As you try and find that perfect gift for your family member, co-worker, neighbors and friends,
remember that Vinyl Fever not only has the best selection of any store in Tampa Bay, we also have---by very far!--- the most knowledgable and helpful staff in the city,
who can quickly locate the music you need.
That's the case 12 months out of the year, but in the yuletide crunch-time, it's good to know that one of the best sources for music, movies and music items is here at your disposal.
Find out why other stores in our region recommend Vinyl Fever to their customers!
We also carry the hands-down best selection of seasonal music for this holiday time, meaning we have right here on Henderson Blvd. probably more choices than the next 10 stores you could visit.
We sell what we know, and what we know is the music- every day of the week.
And of course if you want to give music as a gift, but don't exactly know the color and fit, rest assured: a Vinyl Fever Gift Certificate, in any amount, is always appreciated!
Remember too, if whatever you are looking for is not in stock, just ask, because we have over the years made our special order service the envy of many and the source of satisfaction for our customers.

Vinyl Fever is open 7 days a week and we'll be extending our hours as Christmas gets nearer. Drop over to Vinyl Fever this December and we'll be glad to make your visit easy and musical, as we've been doing since 1981.

jenniferoc A couple of years ago the Avett Brothers rocked Vinyl Fever with one of the most memorable in-store performances we've ever hosted and now they're back to play at Skippers. It's a WMNFshow and they were generous enough to give us a pair of tickets to give away! Just send us your name, a phone number and put *AVETT* in the subject line of an email to contest@vinylfevertampa.com and we'll pick a winner;

Talented New York-based (via Tampa Bay) songwriter Jennifer O'Connor is back and this time playing at The Jaeb Theater at Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center. Two tickets can be had for her Monday evening performance (December 10th), by writing to us as above, but with *JENNIFER, OH JENNY* in the subject line.
