Take Me Back Tuesday - 8/7/07

Take Me Back Tuesday:

Back in the day before the internet ruled the earth and people went to malls etc...

What was your favorite record store?

My favorite store when I bought cassettes was probably Musicland, which used to be one of the Sam Goody stores. They had everything I needed, because I just listened to what was popular back then (89-95 or so).

Are there any non-chain stores that you still frequent for your music needs?

CD World is a non-chain. Interestingly, they used to be a chain. They had one more store in Corvallis, but that store is no longer around so they're back to one. Even when they had two stores, though, they kept their independent spirit.

What was your favorite "find" at your favorite store?

I usually plan my CD purchasing, so I don't really have too many "finds." The one that comes to mind, though, is Sgt. Pepper in the used section. Score! I also enjoyed finding the Green Linnet Records 25th Anniversary collection, also in the used section. Two CDs for just $8!

I loved Sam Goody. Are they still around?

~sigh~

I had their rewards card too. I miss the days when buying music could be done away from the computer.
