Maggie asked I post this news to Mudcat. County Sales Records in Floyd, VA is closing April 30, 2024. Sad news for the old time and blue grass communities.

Permanent Closure of County Sales
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of County Sales. After more than fifty years as a brick-and-mortar record store and the world’s premier source for Bluegrass, Old-Time and traditional American musics in Floyd, Virginia, the Handmade Music School board of directors has voted to terminate the business as of April 30, 2024.

Beginning today, 3/22/24, all inventory is 30% off both in-store and online. County Sales will be open Saturday 3/23/24 from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday 3/24/24 from 12:30 pm to 5 pm. We will resume our usual hours of Wednesday-Friday 10 am to 5 pm with future weekend openings to be announced.

We at County Sales earnestly thank our more than half-century's worth of supporters, customers and friends. It has been our honor to serve you and we wish you all prosperity and much great music to come.

Very sad stuff. A true icon and staple of the southeastern bluegrass and old-time scene.

This is the time to scour their listings and see if there is anything you were wanting that is hard to find elsewhere. Plan ahead for xmas, do your gift shopping now (and support the store in the process.)

Thanks, Janie!

Did anyone else put in an order from the company at their closing discount? Have you heard back?

I ordered on March 22nd and still haven't received my order, or even a tracking number. I'm being patient, as I'm sure they've got a ton of orders, but I'm moving soon.
