What Record Stores Looked Like in the 1960s  Just think: kids
being born today will probably never see the inside of a record
store. And why would they? Buying music used to involve
wandering around a store browsing, picking things up based on
cover art, putting them down based on scornful glares from
record store employees, and generally being outside your house.
Now, buying music usually amounts to nothing more than a click
of the mouse from the safety of your couch. So we were filled
with nostalgia and warm feelings when we saw this series of
vintage photographs of British record store HMV in the 1960s
over at Vice. The rows of records! The milling consumers! The
record players! That was the life. Click through to see how much
things have changed, and then head over to Voices of East Anglia
to see even more photographs from the series.
