Forty-Five Years Later: Still Vinyl Record Collecting

I started buying vinyl records more than forty to forty-five years ago. I started buying vinyl records around 1979 or 1981. One of my first vinyl records were a couple of 45 rpm’s and the artists were Amy Stewart and Parliament Funkadelic back in the late 1970s. Since, I was a young child I have enjoyed going to certain record stores. I can sometimes still remember some of the first record stores I went to as a child with my parents. Growing up, I will always remember the many DJ stores in center city Philadelphia that sold vinyl records back in the day especially during the late 1980s to 1999. As young adult growing up I loved going to the DJ stores in center city Philadelphia trying to find that classic vinyl record. I still remember, now forty-five years later, going to my favorite DJ stores, vinyl record hunting and grabbing a Phil Collins record or an Earth, Wind & Fire LP. I bought dozens and dozens of 12″ vinyl record remixes that today would be very hard to find. I greatly miss the old DJ stores that used to line up on East Market Street in center city Philadelphia. Even though, they sell vinyl records a little bit differently today, I still may find myself vinyl record hunting in a certain record store.
