Re: [ARSCLIST] Other memorable record stores

[Steven Smolian <smolians@xxxxxxxxx>]

There were two stores around 12th and Broadway- Eichler's and Dayton's. 
Dayton had more records by far, as he also had an apartment in his building 
with much of his stock.

Ernie LeMire and his wife, a real toughie, were on 7th ave and, I think 
54th.  Opposite and a block down was Collector's Record Shop, Julian Morton 
Moses' place.

Among the earliest I frequented was that of Herman Lemberg on 48th St, 
behind the old Music Masters.  He had tons of 78s taken in trade for the 
newere, "better," LPs.
