Re: [ARSCLIST] Record Store day

[David Goren <dbgoren@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, I have found many deals like that in used record stores,  
and junk shops. That's part of the fun. I get a lot of pleasure out  
of looking through boxes of actual objects, and having conversations  
about music with other people in the store. Call me old fashioned.

And yes, I discovered Os Mutantes from Brazil in a used record shop.  
The record store clerk was happy to play it for me, so I could check  
it out. That's something that doesn't happen too often on eBay,  
although now and then someone does put up short .mp3 samples.
