Record Store

Back in the day when music artist had a limited distribution network and airplay exposure, their fragile 10" 12" platters where encased in cardboard jackets emblazoned with art to attract a perspective audience.

A little shop downtown still sells these and displays an interesting mix that spans 50? years of Pop Culture in two large window displays.

I believe they are twelve inch not ten.

We have a new store on the square here that sells records new and old. They also sell movies, cassettes, CDs and other music related paraphernalia, including buttons. Kind of cool to see a renewed interest in the vinyl but for my money I would rather own CDs. I'm not a big fan of the snap, crackle and pop of LPs but I do like the much larger artwork.

Ah yes 12 inches, you are correct.
But how may grooves?   ;)

Ahh, those were the good days.  One of the first records I ever got was the double LP soundtrack set for the first "Star Wars" film way back in 1977.  I remember playing that set of records quite a bit.  I used to record my albums to cassette tape right away usually to preserve them better.  Here's some art from inside that two-record set and more can be found at the link below.
