What makes a great record store?

((((( Read the full article here.. )))))

"...A great record store is like a treasure chest, its
isles full of amazing music and fantabulous presentations
on CD, cassette, 7", 10", 12", picture-disc, limited
editions, DVD, VHS, fanzines, magazines, T-shirts,
CD-R's, the local rag, flyers, mailing lists etc.
--you name it, a central hub that whole scenes and
movements rely on..."

Good article. Im feeling his words .

My favorite record store here in stockholm closed down the
other year and went internet only. I was very very sad. I
spent many happy hours there.
One thing that pissed me of sometimes though was that their
totaly superiour headphones and audio equipment that you
used to check out the 12's with kinda tricked me into buying
alot of mediocre stuff. EVERYTHING sounded awesome.
I was totaly buzzing there in the store but when i got home
and listened a couple times i felt cheated. There is alot of
mediocre boring DnB in my collection collecting dust now
haha!

Anyone that has a really great recordstore to visit should
consider themselves lucky , and treasure it while it lasts.

I think not being able to visit good record shops and clubs
is the only reason i could never move out to the
countryside.
Other then that i wouldn't miss a thing.

I can't abide people who refer to vinyl as "wax". worst is
"slabs of wax", ofcourse.

I don't know, I love a good recordstore, but this "article"
(read: longer than usual post from the Planet Mu phorum)
just seems like overromanticised bullshit, really.

I don't like a recordstore because of the Envigorating Power
of a Million Artists Combined In One Shrinelike Place, but
because they try to have each and every thing an artist has
produced in stock, in store.
