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.

There was a certain something back then (I was a teenager in the 80's) about waiting for you favorite band's new album then going to get it. There were even a few you stood in line at midnight to get. Now with social media and the overall media blitz many artists have 2-3 singles, videos and are everywhere so you are almost sick of them by the time the album comes out.
