That photo makes my soul bleed. Looks like a snug little shop.
Anyway the best record shop I ever went to was in Monterey, CA. I don't remember what it was called now,
but I could have lived in there. It was a tiny shop with a cool dude who burned incense and played his favorite records all day. He had posters and photos completely covering the walls. It was one of the only places in the world that made me feel the closest to my natural habitat. Found many groovy gems in the 89 cent bin there.
I love a nice record store (especially the ones that make you feel like you're just right, right in the decade you wanna be, for as long as you're inside). Swoon.
