Rad. This was five years before I was born, so I never experienced record stores at their peak. The record store in my hometown was open until around 2004 or so, and still had a lot or their old inventory, but it was mostly CDs and cassettes by the time I was going there. Thankfully, the used record store I've frequented since college has, in the past few years, taken to selling new records as well, including Record Store Day releases. But it's nothing like this.

I used to love Newbury Comics back in the day (both the Newbury St and Harvard locations), it was easily my favorite record store, but not so much now. Their music selection just isn't what it used to be, and their prices are outrageous. Also, Tower Records on Newbury Street was great too but that's now a distant memory.

We still have a store like that! It's called Real Groovy and it's brilliant.

I'm not surprised you still have cool record shops in New Zealand. NZ had a thriving music scene in the 80s/90s via Flying Nun Records and bands like The Chills, The Clean, The Bats, Tall Dwarfs, Chris Knox, etc. I don't know what's coming out of NZ these days but I'm sure it's interesting. -

Oh yeah, I've seen that one before. More memories. Unfortunately, the metalheads I knew were always such music snobs and had no tolerance for punk or hardcore or anything that didn't sound like Metallica or Guns N' Roses.
