Overview

This title offers a fascinating look back at the retail refuges that enthralled at least three generations of music lovers. It features photographs and memories from musicians, music industry executives, former record store clerks and avid fans. It is written and compiled by two record store veterans, one of whom is the Grammy-nominated president of Go Music, with a foreword by a member of R.E.M. In this era of digital downloads the small, indie record shop might sound like an anachronism. But, in fact, record stores served as community centres, information exchanges, clubs, art galleries and launching pads for numerous bands and record labels. Record Store Days takes a long, loving look back at the retail refuges that enthralled at least three generations of music lovers, providing a glimpse into the special alchemy that makes a great record store. Written and compiled by two record store veterans, this lively and nostalgic anthology includes photographs and reminiscences from musicians, music industry executives, former record store clerks and, of course, avid fans.
