Curated Bag Of Records

Who is Josh Cozby (aka the record curator)? Owner of The Government Center and exactly what you want in a record store owner. Complete lack of pretense, a true interest and encyclopedic knowledge of music, disinterest in "trophy hunting" and crusty Discogs fiends, and un-precious in his pursuit. In short, he loves music and loves sharing under-appreciated and hard-to-discover music. 

How many records do I get within each price tier? This will totally depend. Josh will always try and mix it up and give you bang for your buck. Can't say an exact number, but you'll get value for $$.

Can I return the records for a refund? Afraid not. This is a dice roll, but the dice are basically weighted. You are either into this kind of thing or you aren't. If you don't want to take the risk, we recommend Vinyl Me Please or one of the many other curation or subscription services.

Are the records new or used? This will mostly consist of new pressings, but used is on the table. Josh is very careful about not sending out used records that may not be up to people's standards, but it is possible. 

What kind of prompts / keywords should I use? Don't be too specific, just try and help identify some broad territories. For example: "Love international stuff. Fan of Khruangbin. Instrumental. Hip hop like MF Doom". OR "Poppy 80's. Phoebe Bridgers. Post-punk." OR even "Chill vibes, not too heavy on lyrics". Best case is not too narrow but a few things to cling on to.

How long will it take to get my records? It depends, but records will usually ship within 3 - 6 business days. Shipments come via USPS Media Mail. 

Deep Cut products are handcrafted in small batches in our Minnesota woodshop, where every detail is intentional. We make pieces that bring more joy into your home, for the records you love, the books you reread, the plants you keep alive, and the everyday rituals that make a space feel like yours.

We source premium hardwood from local suppliers and finish every piece with a natural, plant-based oil that protects the wood while letting its true color show through. The result is honest, lasting craftsmanship that's beautiful on day one and stays beautiful for decades. Each piece is designed to install easily for most DIY skill levels, so it can find a home in any room, any style, any space.

Deep Cut products are handcrafted in small batches with care. Most orders ship within 3 to 7 business days, though production schedules can vary. Carrier delivery typically takes another 2 to 5 business days within the US.

Note: Floating Record Player Tables are made to order and have a longer lead time. See the product listing for details, or contact us with timeline questions.

International Orders: We ship via USPS International Priority or UPS International depending on destination and product. Global logistics make delivery timelines hard to guarantee. All duties, taxes, and fees required by the destination country are the responsibility of the purchaser.
