641 RPM: Our first record store in Boone!

This was the first store we found in Boone, we actually ran into it a little bit by accident, we were looking for another record store and saw this one first. We parked and ran up, the first thing we see is hand-made peppermint slipmats on a bunch of record players spinning in the front of the store. This was a good sign, and this store definitely had a chunk of good records for us. Not bad pricing either! We chatted with the shopkeep for a bit, he was cool.

Ramona digging in 641 RPM

Mr. Empty: "My Bonnie Prince Billy collection grows ever larger. This one is a split 7" between BPB and The Black Swans, and they're both doing covers of songs from Larry Jon Wilson, who recently passed on. I'm very excited to listen to it."

Ramona: "A promo copy of one of Melanie's first albums. Melanie was one of those folk singers from the 60s who were playing off Dylan's success, she had a hit in the 70s but she's extremely prolific. Saw her a couple years ago, too."

Ramona: "Just played a show with Jesse Colin Young a week ago, the frontman for this band. Sang a duet of their song "Get Together" with him. This doesn't have that track, but it does have their grammy-nominated song, "Darkness, Darkness" on it. Very cool, I'll have to see if I can get Jesse to sign this for me, too."

Ramona: "The famous Richie Havens from Woodstock. He's a hell of a guitarist, anything he puts out is worth picking up just for the guitar playing. He put out a lot of weird 80s albums that were weird, hopefully this isn't one of those though lol. It has covers of C.C. Rider and Boots of Spanish Leather."

Mr. Empty: "Okay...this is a weird one. This album is in EVERY book of album covers, and I've seen it over and over again but never actually seen a copy in person!!! No idea what this band sounds like, but the cover reminds me of King Crimson so...maybe they're similar? :P"

Mr. Empty: "This was my huge find! This is David Cross, doing stand-up. On vinyl. :O and and and the record is VELVET!!! and it comes with a DVD! :O :O :O DAVID CROSS!!!"
