Yes, yes, I know...it may be hard to remember the adjective that matches this rare online behavior.  |
^ Well said,

I also have good memories of my local record library; I was very impressed to find half a dozen albums of Tibetan music in it, as well as spoken-word recordings and lots of other strange stuff.
The pics I like best on this thread are the shop interiors from

I used to buy records from a similar shabby dive called Notting Hill Record Exchange in SW London. It had a great combination of low prices and (by my standards) obscure albums. Got most of my John Fahey from there.
