Los Angeles’s oldest record store, The Record Collector, is for sale: $4,995,000 for the building, the store’s half millon LPs not included.
Our fambly visited The Record Collector in 2016. My assessment, written then: “One curmudgeonly owner, one assistant, many, many LPs.” I bought two (Dizzy Gillespie and Oscar Peterson, Don Cherry and Steve Lacy), which the owner appeared to price out of his head.

ReplyDeleteThree guys talking about their visit to The Record Collector.
Oh my. I just started watching, and I’m wondering if they’re going to mention Henry, whom I thought of as the mad scientist’s assistant, if such assistants were kindly and helpful. He and I talked about It Can’t Happen Here.
ReplyDeleteAha — they just mentioned Henry.
This video is one of many from YouTube's Vinyl Community. Some better than others.
ReplyDeleteHere’s a video with Henry. I remember seeing those cylinders. Mind blown.
ReplyDeleteA great video of Henry. Thank you. I worry about Henry.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean.
