My Record Store Day Experience

Great piece!

I liked your story...

But there is something wrong with the link. I tried it with both browsers before I realized I had to edit to get it to work. There was an extra 'http' at the beginning.
 
Wow, I wish we had some record stores like those left around here! That Irv Lukin looks like a pretty cool dude and his store is crazy!

Thanks for posting it.
 
You've got some nice local stores to choose from, enjoy that, because in a lot of the world, we've got to travel a ways to hit the stores that carry records, much less find a nice, well stocked store.

BTW, I apologize for the idiots of my generation calling our chosen format 'vinyls'. It's like nails on a chalkboard IMO, wish they would come around to vinyl LP's or records.

Nice video, and some really cool stores. Now I'm going to have look up that Bruce Springsteen that they panned by.

Cool there was no mention of surface noise or dirty records being a desirable quality for a listening experience.

Hey, Music Merchant is an:thmbsp: advertiser now, you see him at the top, it's fun to see. contact John he's real helpful and reasonable AND IF HE SAY"S VG+ that's what it is , etc. IRV has a TONNNNNN of records and cd's cassettes, 8 tracks etc. A LOT of kool stuff and he has a 'BAY site irv55, EZ2collect RECORDSCD"S MEMORABILIA it is worth the effort I promise you that!!!!

I wonder where the evolution of vinyl to "vinyls" happened? Can we send John Connor back in time to kill that person?
 
My bro in law from England has always called them vinyls and he 57. When his older brother came to visit he wanted me to take him to the vinyls store. I don't get why it is such a big deal, people all over the world call them something different. I call them records myself.
 
I went down to Omega Music, the only record store left in Dayton, and they had a big party going, with live bands and TV coverage. I left with a mint copy of the Eagles "One of These Nights" for $.88, and the next day several people told me they saw me in the background on TV.
 
Went to local store today, first time since last week. Found a copy of sid Barrett release and got a couple more free Elton John 45s

Most other stuff was gone, but they are still trying to track down the dead album for me. John
 
Here in ATL there wasnt much going on at my favorite store, Fantasyland Records. Didnt even bother going further into the city to see the other stores since Fantasyland is the best. It was the normal customers and they had some of the new releases. This years new releases for RSD sucked. I ended up buying all used and spent about $100. That should keep the lights on in there for another month.
 
I found quite a few good albums. The Beach Boys was a PITA as it was 78, but the Sid Barrett is great as well as several other 45's I snagged.
