| Support your local record store Brick-and-mortal record retail was a cool place to hang around; stores as King Karol, original Sam Goody, and Tower Records. It was an escape; one could spend so many countless hours browsing through the records, magazine and more. The atmosphere, feeling and living the moment, surrounded by records and holding an LP in your hand like it was a piece of art. While listening to music, holding the album cover and reading the liner note, the knowledgeable and friendly staff / owner and more. Stores that sell music have closed nationwide and independent record stores are being replaced by a digitally dominated online and mega warehouse type retailers for convenient and low prices. While some record stores chain is trying to survive and many have closed, other independent record shops are still in a groove and successfully trading. This is WIZHIFI first and humble annual record stores list, enjoy.
