Back then you would hear the radio announce a new album and they'd play a song off of it. And if it was one of your favorite bands you would be all excited to drive over to Peaches and get the new album.

And of course if you had a few extra bucks you might pick up an old album that you always wanted too.

It was a lot of fun waiting and then finally getting to go to the music store and get it.

I guess that's the downside of the internet. That kind of thing doesn't exist anymore. Now it's just another easy thing to do and is kinda boring. No real hype (not compared to back then) for new albums coming out.
I used to work for MCA Records back then {A& R and Marketing & Promo}, and Peaches, Spec's, Recordland, and a million more were my accounts.
I did THE COOLEST in store signings at Peaches (Mostly the FtL one)...
Those were the days!
