I Keep Having Dreams About the Dollar Bin at Stereo Jack's

[AllenLowe]

just to put in another plug, Stereo Jack's is one of the great record stores in the US of A - in the introdution to one of my books I remarked that it was probably better for research in American music than the nearbye Harvard U. - not only a great collection but knowledgeable employees who only sometimes act like Jack Black in High Fidelity ( )

Meanwhile, someone else is dreaming about a 500 $ record auction... for something that deserves to be in the 1 $ bin, not only at Stereo jacks, but anywhere in the world...

I've been in that back room - always have to go to the bathroom after driving the two hours down from Maine -

I've been there too in real life. No records like the back room in the dream, though...

My vinyl emporium is in a building that dates back to the thirties. It actually has a "back room", but not one where rare albums are necessarily stored.

It's slightly damp and has the overflow of the overflow from the store in it.

If I want to look for 10" LPs, or Jazztone compilations, that's where they usually are.

Yes, I've found some gems. But mostly the records are oddments that didn't fit anywhere on the shelves in the store proper.
