The seller, a local guy, decided it was time to sell off his vast vinyl record collection - all in perfect condition.
His name is Ray, he was a music aficionado with a vast knowledge of Rock history. We spent several hours perusing the collection, listening to his anecdotes about genres, groups and albums. Enthralling stuff.
What I found most interesting was his history of record shops in Worcester - his favorite being Arnold's on Main St. (claiming they could get any album) located near the T&G, as well as the Jordan Marsh record department in the Worcester Center Galleria, and several small shops scattered up and down Main St. I Googled Arnold's and found the owner's obit. Arnold Berol died in 2009 at 94; seems his shop closed around 1979. Oh, and The Galleria at that time was still a bustling shopping destination. Really? Wusta?
So I thought it would be fun to toss this up. I wonder what the The Cars 1st album in 1977 cost - price E?
