But it was not just the performances that created a buzz at Coachella; Record Safari sold a rare vinyl LP of Frank Ocean’s “Blonde” album.
Only One Copy Available for Sale
As soon as doors opened at Record Safari during Coachella weekend, fans form a long line in hopes of purchasing the rare vinyl LP of Frank Ocean’s “Blonde” album. The excitement that filled the air was palpable, as fans eagerly waited for their chance to own a piece of music history.
Lucky Fan Acquires Rare Vinyl LP for $800
Fans poured into the store hoping to buy the coveted vinyl LP but only one copy was available for sale. Despite this, eager music aficionados lined up in droves hoping to get their hands on the rare copy. In an unexpected twist of fate, Daniel Neveh was the lucky fan who made it inside first and purchased the exclusive item for $800.
A Smart Marketing Ploy by Record Safari
The scarcity of “Blonde” vinyl copies led to feverish speculation leading up to Coachella weekend that Record Safari would have them on sale. However, store curator Alex Rodriguez intentionally held back any promotion of multiple copies being available and instead set aside only one exclusive copy specifically for Coachella weekend. This proved to be a smart marketing strategy as fans flocked to his shop in droves.
Disappointed Fans Leave Empty-Handed
Despite the excitement that filled the air, fans who were unable to purchase the “Blonde” vinyl LP left the shop disappointed. Many fans could not believe there was only one copy available for sale and questions were raised as to why Record Safari did not promote more copies being available.
Conclusion
Record Safari’s sale of the rare Frank Ocean vinyl LP was an exciting moment for music fans worldwide. Daniel Neveh’s acquisition of the coveted record is a testament to the passion and dedication of music lovers. The vibrant energy and excitement of Coachella weekend will remain in the memories of those who attended, especially those lucky enough to secure exclusive treasures like Frank Ocean’s “Blonde” vinyl LP.
