Translator got their start in Los Angeles as in 1979 but there wasn't a convenient label for the music they made. Quickly finding themselves disillusioned with the L.A. music scene, the foursome moved to San Francisco. There, Translator built a fan base, made lots of friends, and landed a record deal with local indie label 415 Records.

Within weeks of signing, Translator found themselves part of the big-time music business: 415 had inked a distribution deal with Columbia. 1982's Heartbeats and Triggers benefited (at least a little) from the promotional muscle of the major label. But the album and its emotionally-charged single, 'Everywhere That I'm Not' had the goods to succeed with or without Columbia's help. The song became popular on the burgeoning college radio circuit.

Each successive Translator album built upon and expanded their sound. The band toured widely, landing an opening spot on a Kinks tour, but sales figures didn't follow the same trajectory. And there wasn't much in terms of industry support for the band.

Near the end of the tour in support of their 4th album, the four band members came to the collective realization that Translator had reached the end of the road. They had decided that this would be the end and decided to go out with a bang, scheduling a hometown show to reward their ardent fan base with a show at The Farm in San Francisco on July 12, 1986.

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
