re: Need help remembering a Stereo store back in the 80’s

Sound Trek?

In the early 90s I walked into that Sound Trek on Read (behind Wendy's) to buy an Orion Red and the salesmen wouldn't even give me the time of day. I said frick it and left. I ended up buying a Lanzar Optidrive 100 from Tunes on Vets instead. Thanks for taking me back in time.

Sound Warehouse?

It was my go to for CDs as they would have a decent selection at a good price. I would make the trip from Chalmette when I was able to drive fairly regularly.

Record Bar was one of them. I can’t remember the other either!

The only sound where houses I remember were record stores.

All of our stores were mom/pop stores. That’s where I spent my money.

Later we had Shreveport refrigeration/SR superstores. Later they mutated into Campos which sucked.

Your memory is spot on. I worked at Stereo Village while in school and you captured a lot of our brands. One cool thing about my time there was working with John Fischbach, who was one of our managers and was an awesome recording engineer. He worked on Stevie Wonder's album Songs in the Key of Life.

That’s wild.. and that Stevie album is the second-best album in the history of recorded music .

I loved this place. Go to the front and pay the ticket, then your stuff comes rumbling down the shoot .

Even better if you could Badger your mom into taking you to Indy Raceway after!
