How I miss going to a music store, standing in front of racks of CDs, split out by genre, and alphabetized by artist. End caps of new releases, the smell of plastic gel cases permeating the air of the store. Reading the CD inserts. Overhearing the staff talking about their favorite picks with customers; even if it wasn't my favorite genre, you were sharing your joy of music with others.
The music store that I go to in West Ashley, Charleston, SC (Monster Music) has all of that, in all forms of media )LP, CASSETTE, 10", 45, CD, Blu-Ray & likely some others. Sometimes they have live performances by local bands. They are not the only place that sells LP's & other associated stuff around Charleston. They are a big participant in Record Day every year. We have a very vibrant Record Store community here.
