re: It’s Record Store Day, what are some of your favorite memories at your local record store?

A friend of a friend worked at a record store. Pearl Jam’s second album Versus was a big fricking deal at the time.

We walked in after work and after the store closed. The CDs were still in the shipping box. They were going on sale the next day. This shop was small and not doing a midnight sale.

I can still smell the toxins when the box was cut open. We payed $25 I think for the CD. The guy kept 10 bucks and had to get there early to process the sales or some shite because he could not sell them earlier. I don’t think their system would let them run the item number.
