hammertime Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 There was (is?) a place in the middle of nowhere near Jackson, Michigan I think years ago. I was driving some 2-lane country road on the way to my in-laws' cottage and I saw a record nailed to a tree near the road. That was the sign. It was a tiny shack that sold records and cigars (what a terrible combination). 80s picture sleeve 45s for days. I think I bought an Ike & Tina 45 just to feel like I didn't completely waste my time there but it was pretty bleak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roandy55 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I remember reading about this a couple of years ago, the guy literally runs it from his back garden in a residential street in Peterborough. It is claimed to be the smallest record store in the UK, but they have a website and do RSD every year. anthemforadoomed, Breezus, hammertime and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheriver Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 That would be the "oddest place you've seen a record store". It's definitely not odd to see records for sale inside of one of those. aopps42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, UO has probably been selling records longer than 50% of the people on this board have been collecting them. Touché, I won't argue that.

Bladewillisisdead Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Best Buy used to have a way bigger vinyl section like 5-6 years ago actually. I knew a dude (not a friend) who would steal a backpack full once or twice a week. My ex bought me a copy of Radiohead - In Rainbows at a Starbucks. I didn't personally see it for sale there, but I don't see why she'd lie about where she bought it. Lying about other things, sure. But that wouldn't make sense. Starbucks selling Radiohead vinyl though...that makes sense. The weirdest place I ever actually saw records for sale was the tire and car stereo store that used to be next to my local bowling alley. I mean, a stereo store would make sense...but a store for car stereoes and tires? A bit odd. My ex girlfriend (different than the previously mentioned one not that it matters I'm just being detail oriented) bought a 12" copy of the MC Hammer song from Ghostbusters 2 there.

fuckinandsuckinandtouchin Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Ugh, this shitty place sells records. I get dragged there with my gf occasionally. Last time they had discounted copies of Mariah Carey's xmas album, Elvis' Gold #1 Hits and BOWIE'S 'BLACKSTAR'?! Everytime I end up buying some food items.

Occasionally I get dragged there because they have drug store makeup brands for cheap and my girlfriend is a makeup nerd (trips to Sephora and shit are the price I pay for her putting up with my records). But seriously everything about that store makes me anxious. There's too much shit in there and too many middle aged women not knowing how to not be in everyone's god damn way. I need to smoke a bowl before we go in just to deal. fuckinandsuckinandtouchin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 About ten years ago two of my friends were like "Hey, we're going to Cracker Barrel wanna come?" and I was like "I'm not wasting money on that shit." DMX came in and got sat at the table next to them. A random suburban Cracker Barrel in upstate NY. Fucking DMX. fuckinandsuckinandtouchin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
