It could've been Mad Platter, which is no longer. Its original location was near the mall on Tyler.

My first stop usually is a local used record/CD/DVD store I've mentioned in the past called Record Surplus in West L.A. They have two short rows of CDs that every once in awhile yield a prog treasure (most of it is rock and new age though). Online I go to Amazon where my last CD purchase was the Steven Wilson remix of G.G.'s The Power and the Glory which went from $10 to around $15 after I bought it. I've occasionally used Discogs for a few purchases, also.

Whatever was laying around on the floor was my best pants back in those days. Nowadays if it can expand after a big meal, I'm happy.

I haven't bought a physical CD in ten years, a vinyl LP in 35 years. I buy almost all my music on Bandcamp.
My favorite record store of all time was Schoolkids Records in Ann Arbor though Boogie Records in Kalamazoo was where I built up my prog collection. So many memories of so many great discoveries. Wouldn't know where to find a record these days … or what to play it on. |

I haven't been there in many, many years. Definitely the place to go for vinyl.

Anyone visiting my city (Norwich, England) couldn't do any better than visiting Out of Time Records, or Beatniks, both on Magdalen Street. In both cases the proprietors are extremely knowledgable, friendly and helpful. |

What year was the first tower records picture with the Wall on it? Around 1980?

Great pix, Catcher. This was Peaches Records & Tapes in Westminster? I never did manage to visit one of their stores. I know the chain took its final bow twenty or so years ago.

Probably, '79-'80.........I remember another store had a huge Wall display also. I bought my first Wall LP at Tower Records in December 1980.

The only Peaches I ever shopped at was on Hollywood Blvd......I believe the lone Peaches store left is in New Orleans.

Another store that had a solid import section, and a fair (not quite good) amount of prog, was Camelot Music. But the one that opened near me didn't last long because hardly anyone knew it was there! I found out about it by accident. On my first visit, I recall picking up Dream Theater's Live at the Marquee and No Expense Spared by Rick & Adam Wakeman. Their price point was Tower Sunset, too, i.e. not cheap.
Not long thereafter, the Camelot Music chain was absorbed by Trans World Ent., the same megacorporation that owned Wherehouse/FYE. Since there was a Wherehouse a few blocks away that did great business, they closed the Camelot store.
