If you grew up in the '80s and '90s, then you probably remember seeing record stores popping up everywhere, like the one in the movie Pretty In Pink. I remember going to a small record store, which of course it had records, cassettes, 8-tracks and a small selection of CDs (they were a little pricey at the time).
I was just a little kid back then, but I did own a few records, such as Cavern of Courage: An Ewok Adventure, Smurfs, and Alvin & the Chipmunks. I know they weren't exactly music, but like I said, I was just a kid then.
As a teen I was in a music club, where I would get several CDs free for joining and I had to buy four more over two years. I would by the four very quickly, get out of the club and then I would join again. Sadly, there are no clubs anymore.
Thanks to the internet with its illegal downloads and iMusic, record stores have become a thing of the past, though you can probably find a few in the big cities, probably called "Vintage Records" or something similar.
