Turn Down the Volume

I walk into the darkness of the used record store this evening .... the owner immediately offered to turn on the lights .... and he has Def Leopard or Motley Crew or some such thing playing loudly and I should apologize here for not knowing anything about the harder rock but less than metal genre ..... I don't know if I misspelled those groups or if it was someone totally different ..... I just know that it was loud and still dark, even after he turned the lights on, and he was attempting to converse in normal mellow tones over the noise and I had no clue what he was saying. 

I said "OK' which he likely couldn't hear, to whatever was said, and moved on.

It had been a while since my last visit, so I was hopeful of finding something exciting but apparently, he hasn't been bringing much new inventory in because it was all the same stuff that I saw six months ago.

He has a lot of a few big names in Jazz but not much beyond them. I suspect the same sales strategy with the other genres. 

I did find a live Strawbs record from 1970 that I'd never seen before and which appeared in the lighting to be in near mint condition but once home, it's clearly not so mint. Overall, a pretty disappointing Saturday evening vinyl record (and cd) hunting session. 

Five minutes was all I could stand. It's rare when this happens but I couldn't wait to get out the door.
