Yes, I did spend 2 hours in here today.

I found this record shop through one of my hospice patients. We were digging through his pictures and found this 🫶🏽

Recently acquired. I took a blind stab at the dollar gospel bin at Record City. This is a man and woman singing with a sprinkling of electric guitar, bass, and Hammond. Lush sweet and soulful.

Stop #2 on the abbreviated vinyl tour in San Diego’s Hillcrest community landed me at Record City. Same as the first stop, I was greeted by another clerk sporting a Bauhaus tee! I considered mentioning something about the record store employee dress code in this town, but bit my tongue and proceeded with digging through the long rows of crates. I quickly found their system of organization perplexing. There seemed to be some crates reserved for new vinyl placed at the entry point for each genre, but then there were also new copies shuffled in amongst the used section. Further, there were tabs for artists, though they grouped not just said artist but offshoots and solo releases (ie- the Genesis tab housed Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, but also Brand X… I get that Phil played on a couple of Brand X records, but how would a fan of this band assume they’d find that material under the G’s?). More baffling was the decision to house separate sections for “Indie/Punk” and “Alternative/Punk” in addition to the standard “Rock/Pop” section … upon a quick glance, the indie bin housed fare such as The Cars and Madonna (?!?), and the Alternative bin held equally mainstream fare such as Red Hot Chili Peppers. Overall, I found it a bit tedious searching for specifics in this store due to this head-scratching classification system, and with their expansive collection (boasting over 20,000 LPs on the window) it’s damn impossible to go through it all. Nonetheless, I didn’t leave empty handed, as I carried away another quartet of fairly-priced discs, 3 being new/sealed:

Greenslade Live in Stockholm 2014 Purple Pyramid

Jethro Tull Living in the Past 1972 Chrysalis

Wayne Shorter Speak No Evil 2013 Blue Note

Gavin Harrison Cheating the Polygraph 2015 K-Scope
