Permanent Records
Ukrainian Village’s Permanent Records continues to defy the odds and survive as an independent record store (and label) while also occasionally hosting successful in-store performances. Best thing yet, Permanent strives to keep their buying and trading policies in vogue, even at times making house calls.
