From the Dirty undergrounds, where the guy at the door will not answer unless I know the secret knock. He lets me in, inspects my person, and blindfolds me. He brings me around a few turns and sits me down. Un-blindfolded, I sit on a chair around a single, naked light bulb; while an electronic voice asks from on high: "What do you seek in such a place as this?" I ask for the latest Prince disk, and it is shoved through a greasy transom, all smoke and brimstone. I am again blindfolded, and then I pay the man at the door and leave.
That is how, Peach.    All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

Most of my official stuff came from real stores, the good old fashioned way, when record stores stocked more than what is hip now.
I walk into the same record stores now, I can't find *anything* that I like, if I do, I can get it at least £8 cheaper online. It's not even that I don't like what is commercial right now, because what was commercial then (1992-96) was not what I was buying. These stores (here at least) just don't stock older stuff. The singles section has diminished into a stockist of recent (i.e. this year, last year) releases. I picked up Let's Pretend We're Married 12" in 1996 in a chain store. I can't even imagine doing that today. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm a sucker for a major chord | |

most of my official cds i got from musicland/sam goody...all my vinyl i either got from let it be records here in mpls, hymie's records (my fave store here in town--it's the epitome of record store-dom, small, cramped, gotta dig around to find the good stuff) or this one place i used to moonlight at, dreamvision records (loved every minute of workin there, too...the owner of the store was a prince fan  ). i recently got a ton of 12" singles from a very kind n'generous orger.  | |

Nice secret little stores in the heart of the city. I just picked up the Sign O the Times and Parade tour books brand new, never been opened for $12 a piece. Found a place with all the original 12 inches next to new for what i can afford. They got every thing. All the bands that come to town always go down to the stores here, their very famous for the rare items yu can find. I saw that Lars Ulrich guy down there just two weeks ago a matter of fact. I wanted to ask him why he was shopping in a store that stickly carries bootlegs. | |

Sounds like my fridaynights out on the town, except, I don't ask for the latest prince release  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |
