Ya gotta love when record stores close, if only for that one reason..I spent 
days at Rare Records in Glendale in 1992 when everything was 80 cents a disc 
(how they arrived at that figure I'll never know), and a couple of years ago I 
parked my carcass in the Red Roof Inn and my wife switched on Oprah just in 
time to see a spot for Record Archive's "Everything for $1, We're Closing" 
sale. People had gone nuts over the rock albums but nobody had gone near 
comedy, ethnic, spoken word or the miscellaneous stuff.
