Readers Respond: What has the record store meant to you?

From the article: Record Store Day
It wasn't just the big selection and the knowledge of the sales people. It was the gathering place of kindred spirits. It was the smell and feel of the place. It was the record store, and it is being celebrated (and mourned) on Record Store Day. Share your memories

Record Stores

I love to browse for records, you just never know what you might find, something you haven't heard in forever and forgot, something by an artist that you love but have never heard that song. I just love finding something I've never heard taking it home, playing it and falling in love with something new, of course at my age it's always an old song!

Best memories

finding and entering my first record store was like finding "OZ"! I remember it having "listening booths" and racks and racks of LP's and 45's, it kept me occupied for hours! Music is truly the only constant in my life, I love it and collect it. My favorite record store's of all time were the Wax Museum on Lake street in Minneapolis, followed by the original Electric Fetus on the West bank by the U of M. I really miss those places!
