any record (45/LP0) record collectors?
My favorite part of the San Diego to Oklahoma round trip I did 3 times a year for 10 years was stopping at Spinning Jenny’s on I-40 n Shamrock, TX. Jenny didn’t have an online presence and sold records at fair prices and also sold new music which is where the money is (Taylor Swift album $20-$30?). Her used stuff was quality marked with colored stickers. She sold them based on condition more so than the artist.
Well, she didn’t make it. There was always a customer or two in the store. She was right next door to a historic gas station.
If she would have been online or shipped I think it would have done well.
There’s just something else about going to a store and thumbing through records. Online record buying seems weird to me. I think it’s the “rummaging” feeling.
