I used to order from Rather Ripped Records in Chapel Hill, NC. Excellent service and great selection. I had my mother’s Bank Americard number memorized!

“Second Floor Records” in Richmond,Virginia and “Rasputin’s” in Berkeley, California had all the boots. I used to trade tapes with Brad Blank and a guy called Freddy, who had all the Wizardo and Phoneygraf titles.

I can't remember the name but there used to be a really good one in Greenwich Village NYC. Bleeker Bob's perhaps? I always used to spend a lot there when I visited NYC pre internet days.

Pied Piper Records in North Carolina - I used to get their catalog in the 70's from an ad in the back of Circus Magazine

I had a record store about 20 mins away on a bus, but the real revelation was ‘Toad Halls Rare Records’ in Australia, advertising in a local music magazine
Suddenly, after a trial period and ‘postal notes’ my collection grew exponentially
Then they got busted and their vinyl got dumped and destroyed
Not before I got my hands on these beauties......
I loved that time, opening the box and playing the LP records of my favourite band in concert, or in the studio for the first time ... ever

@ timbernardis, I also bought from him. Could it be (as far I can remember) that he was in "THE BRONX" ALBUM ALLEY?

There's a recording of Jagger in a NYC record store discussing Stones bootlegs with the staff/owner.
I tried to find it but I can't.
Anyone have a link?
