“In the old days, when I was really selling a lot of records, this was verboten,” said Charlie Grappone, a dance-music specialist who opened Vinylmania in 1978. “You would never let people off the street into a wholesale distributor. Because why would they buy in a store if they could come in here? But it’s changed now. There aren’t any stores left.”

YES ! happened over here a long time ago now you have to go to specialist stores that sell large volumes of vinyl to stay on top. The last of the little stores sort of faded away about 4 years ago. And just as quick CD'S will have their day, when people can buy wav. at the same speed and cost as Mp3's .
