[78-L] Buying new 78s [was Re: Fwd: DeitrichFischer-Diskau[fwd]]

[Eric Goldberg]

What caught my eye was the reference to Ellenville, NY, since I live in that area, although I came up from NYC in 1973 and have never left. I dion't remember a record store so I would love to hear more about it. Now I have to ask my Ellenville friends if they remember a record store in the area.

I had a similar experience, more than a decade later. As a kid, my family
spent summers in the Catskills. Circa 1965, my uncle stopped with me at a
record store near Ellenville, which had apparently not been serviced for 20
years or more. The narrow shelves were full of store stock 40s and 50s 78s.
I pulled out a dusty copy of Fats Waller's 12-inch "Moppin" and Boppin'" on
Victor and asked the price. The owner pulled out the company list price
list, barked "$1.25!" at me and I happily paid.
