Massive things are afoot over here at 1-2-3-4 Go! We've got a new Point of Sale system and a new webstore to go with it! We're still refining it but when it's all done essentially our entire New inventory will be available! Currently there are THOUSANDS of items listed that have never been on our site before and you can key word search to find whatever you're looking for!
I'm really proud of the work we've done over the last week or so to get this thing on it's feet. This is truly a new era for us over here and the beginning of things getting much bigger and better. If you have any issues at all please don't hesitate to let us know.
We are extremely proud to have released the first two Shannon and the Clams LP's when they were just getting started and we are completely unsurprised and ecstatic about their successes since. Our dear friend Shannon lost her fiancé in a tragic accident this summer and in an effort to help her through this time we are donating the profits from this version of their incredible 2nd LP to her.
We pressed 350 hand numbered copies of "Sleep Talk" on split Yellow & Blue vinyl with Silver splatter available by tapping the image or hitting the “Featured New Vinyl M-Z” portion of our website under “Shop Now”. We ship worldwide and accommodate local pick up. Domestic orders over $75 ship for free!
This is up for pre-order now by CLICKING HERE! This is the latest installment in our exclusive color vinyl series. This time out it’s even MORE exclusive than the others. There is no other version of this album available anywhere in the world! This brand new expanded edition includes the tracks Teenagers From Mars and Hammer of the Gods which were not on the original vinyl release! We expect all orders to ship by 9/30/22.
Phase’s 3 and 4 have not shipped yet due to delays with the singles. We’re hoping for resolution sometime in August. You will receive tracking in the email you provided when you ordered the instant these ship. The worldwide supply issues are effecting several aspects of vinyl production and delivery right now and we’re definitely suffering from it with these ones. Good news appears on the horizon though. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
So many releases from Record Store Day proper got delayed that they decided to add a second date! Saturday June 18th we’ll be open by appointment only from 9am to 12:15pm and accepting walk up customers after that until 7pm! There is no bad time to stop by the shop. Anyone who has been here on RSD before can tell you we have great stock all day on most of the most popular titles. Can’t make it down that day?

Record Store Day is tomorrow and we are accepting walk up customers from Noon to 7pm! Leftovers will be up on our website at 5am Pacific Sunday April 24th! If it’s after 5am Pacific Sunday April 24th CLICK HERE to see what we’ve got! If you try before then ya ain’t gonna see anything!
We have a brand new Pink & Black splatter variant of The Dicks "Hate The Police" 7" limited to just 300 copies and a reprint of one of their original T-shirt designs that hasn't been available in over 35 years! Shirts come in sizes Small through 4XL! Pre-order now HERE!
Just a reminder, this is the only official reissue of "Hate The Police" since they put it out on their own label back in 1980. Everything else has been a low quality bootleg. Original copies have recent sold for as high as $3000 and musically...that's totally worth it. Lucky for you we're selling these faithful reproductions for faaaaar less. These tend to sell out very quickly so we don't recommend waiting if you can avoid it.
Pre-orders for Phase 3 of our ongoing Pinhead Gunpowder reissue series are up now! Hit the “Shop Now” tab above to order "Goodbye Ellston Avenue" LP and the "At Your Funeral" 7" on our mail order exclusive split color vinyl! These are very limited and will not be available anywhere else. We expect these to ship on or around April 15th 2022. These are the highest quality pressings ever issued. Freshly remastered and they sound absolutely fantastic. All the artwork has been fully restored and in some cases finally printed correctly for the first time ever! The "At Your Funeral" 7" is a collection of PG songs from the Dillinger Four split and Down In Front compilation together for the first time ever! We also have two brand new oversize print t-shirts with artwork from both records! These are a very limited print and will not be remade!
Not sure who Pinhead Gunpowder is? Although they are very rarely seen in public Pinhead Gunpowder has been a band for 32 years and are currently constituted as Aaron Cometbus (Crimpshrine, Sweet Baby), Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day, The Longshot), Jason White (The Influents, Green Day) and Bill Schneider (Monsula, Dead Sound).
Hey all. Due to recent changes in your area VAT will be due on all shipments headed your way. We will not be collecting this in advance. You will be responsible for paying it in your country when the package arrives. We advise you to check in with your local customs offices a few weeks after you get tracking from us to see if they have your package. They may or may not notify you when it comes in. We will not refund any package returned to us due to non-payment of VAT. We’re attempting to work out a better system but for now this is how we’re having to do things. Thank you for your understanding.
Our Store Exclusive Color Vinyl train is pulling in to the next station! Next stop? Shannon & The Clamsville!

We have a long history with the Clams and we're so happy to have this exclusive for our shop. Speaking of that long history, we're reissuing their second LP "Sleep Talk" on Metallic Gold or Metallic Silver vinyl! Both of these are extremely limited and we do not expect them to last long. Order today by hitting the pre-orders page under the “Shop Now” tab.

There will be 5 phases spread across the next year with an LP, 7" and two exclusive t-shirts in each phase. Phase 1, due April 30th 2021, is the Jump Salty LP and Trundle & Spring 7"! Pinhead Gunpowder hasn't had official merch of any sort in years and these are truly special oversize prints. Jump Salty has been cut at 45rpm for the first time and it is LOUD. These are definitely the best sounding editions of either record to date.
Each record is pressed on a mail order exclusive color (visible above) only available from our website and each shirt is available separately or as part of the Phase 1 bundle.
We are also rolling out the Pinhead Gunpowder Discography Club for those of you who want to sign up for the whole run now! If you subscribe now you will get each phase as they come out on a PGDC exclusive color. We are only going to press enough of these to fulfill subscription orders and subscriptions will only be available for purchase until April 1st 2021. After that we're closing it up!
Here's the schedule for each phase
Phase 1 (4/30/21): Jump Salty LP, Trundle and Spring 7” plus two shirts with art from each release
Phase 2 (8/27/21): Carry The Banner LP, Fahizah 7” plus two shirts with art from each release shirt.
Phase 3 (5/13/22): Goodbye Ellston Avenue LP, At Your Funeral 7” (songs from two splits, split up no more!), plus two shirts with art from each release.

Big Rig was a very short lived project from Jesse Michaels (Operation Ivy, Common Rider, Classics of Love), Doug Sangalang (Screw 32, Limp, One Time Angels), Kevin Cross (The Nerve Agents, Pitch Black), Jeremy Goody (Pitch Black) and Brandon Riggen. The band rose and fell in 1993. They played a single show and left behind a demo and this EP which was originally on Lookout Records in 1994.
We are extremely proud to be able to reissue this EP. This is a vastly under appreciated piece of east bay punk, a hidden gem of the Lookout catalog and personally one of my favorite records. We’re producing 1000 total copies housed in a faithful reproduction of the original 8 panel booklet/sleeve.
We’ve got over 11k items currently listed at DISCOGS right now. That’s essentially every record in the shop and we add new items daily! If you want to order merch you can do so at the Mail Order drop down on this page. We ship worldwide or you can choose local pick up to grab your order from our Oakland shop. Thanks everyone!
This summer marks 40 years since the release of one of what we feel is one the most important singles in American punk history. Fronted by an aggressive, openly gay, unrepentant communist, The Dicks were an elemental force in the early 80's Texas punk scene. Their influence on countless musicians, artists and activists world wide four decades later can be felt today. Sadly, instead of being an interesting artifact from a troubled time long since past, "Hate The Police" is still depressingly relevant.
We initially re-released this single in 2012 with the blessing of all the living band members and started work to issue it again earlier this May for the 40th Anniversary. In the midst of this work the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer a week ago broke all of our hearts. The sadness and anger in the streets across this nation is the result of an insanely unjust justice system and hundreds of years of systemic oppression & violence against black people in this country. White people in this country need to do a lot of work to dismantle this system and help bring about change. This could be where we turn a corner towards a brighter future if we're brave enough to make it happen. It's going to take efforts big and small in the near term and the long haul. In our heads, our daily lives, our businesses and our governments.
In an effort to try to provide some support for causes we believe in that are furthering progress and helping people directly on the national and local level we are donating the proceeds from every copy sold from this repress to Black Lives Matter and Homeless Youth Alliance San Francisco.
To go with this special re-release we're also producing the first officially licensed Dicks shirts & pullover hoodies in years. A portion of the proceeds will be going to BLM & HYASF as well. We're making a limited amount of these and will likely not produce a second run so if you're interested in picking one up we recommend doing so as soon as you can.
You can order these now at http://1234gorecords.com/1234goreleases
These are incredibly turbulent and dangerous times. Together we can make it through. Stay safe and stay healthy. We're going to need all the help we can get.
Our “Together” design has been an overwhelming success and we expect these to start shipping in a week or so. If you haven’t already check out the Mail Order link above to order one now! Thanks so much for your support.
We’ve got two brand new shirts up for pre-order now. One is our newer logo in a face mask (pictured below) and the other is the standard version. We hope to be able to deliver these by the end of May at the latest. The special SIP edition will be limited to as many are sold before the SIP is lifted and then it’s gone for good because we’re gonna beat this thing. Check out the link under the mail order tab!
In the flurry of the shutdown we blew right past our 12th Anniversary on the 15th. I started this shop in March of 2008 just before the financial crisis and it was tough. We weathered it but it was extremely hard. This current crisis is going to test us like no other. Like all other "non-essential" businesses our two shops are mandated closed. Subsequently all of our employees were laid off and 90% of our income has simply evaporated. The one saving grace is that I happen to live above the shop so sheltering in place still provides me access to the stock so we can run mail order. Mail order and gift card purchases are currently our only source of income and we greatly appreciate all of you who have ordered already. Thank you so much. Stay home, stay healthy, stay analog.
DISCOGS: Over 5000 used items and 2000 new are up right now! We just added the bulk of the new items we have in stock in the last few days and will continue to add items daily
