Vinyl Records


     "You went to the record store. You saw all that you couldn't buy. A purchase was not a casual decision... Our record collections were our most treasured possessions. And within those tracks lay our history and our identity." -Bob Lefsetz

     I can remember the first three records I bought at a record store in Ridgewood. The guy behind the counter opened each to look for scratches, as it was a common ploy to play it and then return it with the complaint that the record was scratched. No returns to this guy.

      I bought:

     The Allman Brothers Band: Brothers and Sisters

 

    

  Paul Simon: There Goes Rhymin Simon






     Grand Funk: We're An American Band (Gold Album Cover)
