Trip to a Record Store - What's Your Latest?

[Clement]

The pics I'm seeing makes the stores look huge. The biggest store we have in our area is Josey Records. It's pretty nifty 2 floors & reasonably close to me but I rarely go their. Why? Old Codger Alert: they play music so loud you can't even converse with the store clerks or concentrate while you browse. I feel like Marty McFlies high school principal.

Sadly after 20+ years one of my favorite record stores just closed, Vinyl Renaissance. They had a separate section for quad records & audiophile direct to disc stuff. Bought a few SACD's there & a couple of LP's. Small but very nice selection of 'tronics & speakers, etc. But the owners just decided to retire...

It looks HUGE because it's HUGE!

This was many years ago, I wandered into a record store in Melbourne and I saw one of the most stunning looking skinny blonde shop assistant. I was looking for some stuff by Ian Dury and the blockheads and so I asked her what they had. She then reported to me that her favorite by the blockhead was " sex and drug and rock and roll". Wow, I fell in love that moment!

Made a pilgrimage to St. Paul's Cheapo Records. I followed this advice:

My latest was to The Philadelphia Record Exchange in January while visiting my daughter over Christmas/New Years. I bought several records of various condition (mostly at least VG) and the prices were commensurate with the condition.

It is fairly close to where she lives so I walked there and then walked down to the Fishtown Tavern afterward where they make killer Martinis and Tonics. They certainly don't skimp on the gin!
