Just re=read this for the umpteenth time. Nice to recall those days and such as Len Kunstedt, the guy who ran Record Research, the mimeoed mag that ran great articles, if you liked reading about matrix numbers, and impossible to read lists of 78’s for sale. It was fun back then.

Nick, this is a great story! I have been following Steve Prope’s stories about old record dealers in Long Beach, CA. during the 1960’s and your stories rates right up with them! As an avid record collector, these types of stories facinate me, and add to the meaning of the hunt in finding records. Again, thanks very much for posting this. I hope you will continue to post!

Great story Nick, thanks for sharing! I’m a fairly young and new digger (past 5 years or so), so the vinyl golden age had long passed when I started. Fun to hear about what it was like.

Alot of the stories I write about are because of the hustle back than to get vinyl… It was non-stop 7 days a week. I am also tortured now by sometimes having nightmares of what they are worth today! I can still see myself pulling them out in the store.. Thanks again Mattyman for the nice comment and good luck in your hunting!

Nick, your stories are a joy and in a way torture to read. I wish I would walk into people buying old buildings full of records and allow me in… 😉
