World's smallest record store (Edwardsville, IL)

Post by scotto »

I was originally going to post this in the "Assless Chaps" thread, but...

So my wife owns a cool used bookstore in Edwardsville, IL (https://afterwordsusedbooks.com/), just across the river from St. Louis, and gave me an empty corner to pimp some used records:

They're all clean and reasonably priced, mostly nifty jazz with a few odds and ends thrown in. If you're in the St. Louis area and feel like browsing, stop in and say hi.

^ Thanks man. This is strictly a loss-leader/exercise in dilettantism for the holiday crowds, so it's not intended to be a profit generator. Kind of like hobby farming, but with records.
And yes, Shoot Out the Lights is a definite must-have.

Yeah, I love that Andrew Hill record. This was originally just for walk-ins, plus I'm lazy and disorganized, so mail order seems daunting. But I've gotten a few other requests, so I may have to reconsider.

Ummm... the man just ordered what looks to be about 5% of your stock, didn't even ask the price and you're gonna think about whether to fill the order? You may not be cut out for this retail game, son :)
