          Which was a very cool store.

            I would go there every weekend, with $3-5 dollars and look through the classical selection every Sunday afternoon. RCA Red Seal and Vanguard were my go-to labels. I would flip through the bins and find something that I'd find interesting.

            On one occasion, I picked up a recording of The Rite of Spring. Remember this work was only about 55 years old at the time. I don't remember the performers. I recall putting on my turntable and listening to my AR3 speakers thinking, "Wow! I really don't like this at all. But, it's really really good."

            Of course, things have changed in the last few decades.

                      @George-K We probably went to the same Korvettes - Elmhurst if I remember correctly. I bought some Wilhelm Kempff Beethoven recordings. They also had inexpensive recordings on the Command label. I learned quickly that different musicians made a difference in my enjoyment of the performance. Hans Kahn and his chamber orchestra wasn't the same as Karajan and the Berlin Phil.

                                Not really a store, but I remember listening to voice of America on short radio to practice my English.

                                Many times throughout the day, they would do the news in “special” English, which meant that it was read very slowly, and they used more simple words.
