Stan' Record Bar |
Lancaster's own Crystalaires |
LPs as well as a selection of cassette tapes and CDs. If you can't find what you're after at Stan's, you probably didn't look in the right pile of vinyls. As for me, I checked to see if Mark had "Green Stamps" by the T-Birds, but couldn't locate it. It was this 45 that led me to sell my collection many years ago. A good friend saw that I had the tune and after looking at my collection of a couple of hundred 45s, offered to buy the entire collection from me. Needed the money at the time so I sold it to him. Often wonder what would have happened if I hadn't sold the collection. Probably would be one more thing that my kids would have to get rid of when I checked-out. Today when I entered the store I saw Mark on the phone and walked his way. Wasn't sure who he was so I asked him, "Are you Stan?" Hadn't seen Stan for many years and wasn't sure if I would remember what he looked like if I saw him again. He replied, "I can be Stan if you want!" We talked for some time about the record business and I learned that there are approximately 75,000 new releases every year with about 3,000-5,000 being vinyl pressings.
