A lot of fans who visit this page probably heard their first Jim Reeves recording off vinyl. Believe it or not, it's making a bit of a comeback, as more labels are pressing special versions of new as well as old music.

Our favorite online record store (that spotlights rare and hard to find good music, both new and old) -- www.good-music.biz -- even has a "new vinyl" section.

Anyway, there's an article which appeared in a Business newspaper about some of the last record stores to exist. Click the link below to read about these oddities around the world.

Larry, I really enjoyed the article about the record stores. Thanks for sharing it with us. I was always a big fan of record stores, and when they closed--especially Tower records--I felt as if I'd lost a dear friend. That might sound silly to some people, but that's exactly how I felt, and I still do. We only have one record store chain that is still open here on Long Island called FYE (For your Entertainment) and they are all closing one by one. There are quite a few privately owed used record stores around here though, and I enjoy going to those too.

I listen to WSM radio from Nashvile frequently and they always mention the Ernest Tubb Record Shops as one of their longtime sponsors. They always give the locations of the shops but I've noticed that in their last ad they did not mention the shop in Ft. Worth, TX. Do you suppose it's now closed? If so that's a shame.

Hey guy i just purchased from a private collector 10 yes ten original LP's from the 50's and 60' of Jim Reeves. for 35.00 is that a good deal or what. I have been looking for them for years. Guess I'll have to resurrect my record player. LOL Iam so thrilled to get this collection. Thank you so much for what you all do. I was beginning to think I was the only fanatic out there of this music.
