Anyone going after one of the 270 vinyl releases today?

Is there a record store ANYWHERE? I kept Harmony House and E.J. Korvette in business for years.

I just ordered Jethro Tull's latest Rökflöte and Gentle Giant's Free Hand from Amazon; they should be arriving today.

Vinyl is passé in this household, but I still have many of my old ones. Damn, I haven't cranked up the ol' Victrola in a few years now.

Traverse City has more Record Stores today than in 2000.

Ann Arbor also has record stores.

Ann Arbor, Ferndale, Royal Oak, Farmington, Dearborn... there's a bunch of them around.

We have Galaxy Records out here in the Howell area.

Matt is right...Encore Records and Underground Sounds in Ann Arbor are great places. Encore for older stuff and Underground for more contemporary titles. There's a third one right by center campus off State St. that I can't recall the name of right now.

Pete Flanders' Musical Memories in Flint for Old and New Records and CDs. If you're too scared to go to 425 S. Dort Hwy. in Flint, you can do Mail Order. We wanted to send our friend Joanne a copy of "Joanne" by Michael Nesmith for her birthday a couple years ago and Pete mailed it directly to her on a compilation CD.

I was at Pete Flander's Musical Memories for the very first time around August of 1990 getting the reissued oldies 45 singles & they had a lot of them back then!!! I also bought a few of the scratchy 45 singles ones too!! Last time I was there was in the Spring of 2016 but that was it.

If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Flanders was also heard on "The Big 6," Flint's version of CKLW back in the 70's.

Electric Kitsch in Bay City is a good place to shop for albums and other fun relics from the past.

I listened to WTAC "The Big 6" when I was a little kid (late '60s, early '70s), I remember he went by "The Fat Cat Pete Flanders."
