kirbypuckett Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If you were going to read a blurb / a review about a record store, what is some information you would like to know about the store? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dietrich Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 what formats they sell, if they have a used section, if the used section is any good, what types of music they have the most of and whether the prices are decent. pretty much the basic stuff, maybe what makes the record store stand out from all the other ones in your opinion also.

adamlikesmusic Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 The type of music. And not just "good" or "bad" music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scriptedrain Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Is it better to burn out than to fade away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Besides what has alreays been mentioned, the friendliness and record knowledge of the staff. I know there have been a few shops I've gone to where the snubbiness of the staff has pretty much turned me away and kept me from going back. Thankfully none of the shops here in my area.

nickbuysvinyl Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 i think not just record knowledge, but music knowledge in general. Like, if you asked them to recomend something if you were into a certain band, they would be able to give you an accurate recomendation and know who you are talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrc Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 probably mention if they price things out reasonably or do they compare rates to GEMM and ended ebay prices. The hours of operation. i know a couple of the shops here open later in the day or are closed on sunday and monday. If its a small shop thats owned by a band member or something... does it close while they are on tour. Do they have shows there? i know one of the places here has some shows sometimes. do they have online shop/distro that you can order directly from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
