Music City Vinyl

Just got into Nashville to discover an excellent record store near the hotel called Great Escape. Full of hidden gems, this place is clearly run by folks who care and who have the love for vinyl. 

I picked up Speedy Keen's Y'Know What I Mean from 1975 for $2.99. It seemed the proper thing to do as Island Records are celebrating their anniversary. Also bought the first Procol Harum release on Deram and Gene Clark's Two Sides to Every Story, which I've never heard. The one that I'm most excited about is the 1973 Sharks album featuring Free's Andy Fraser. 

Under the racks, they have all kinds of goodies including a few crates of 99 cent 78s which clearly hadn't been touched for a while. I spent 10 bucks and bought a mixture of Frank (no-one has lived like Frank Sinatra), Gene Autry and Benny Goodman. The best finds were Al Jolson singng Swanee and a beaten up copy of the Everly Brothers' Wake Up Little Susie on the Cadence label. Tasty!
