(The Church and Flatbush store in the mid-70s) I remember seeing the original cover version of Yesterday and Today and the inflatable utter from Pink Floyd's AHM there. I would also browse for what seemed like hours on a Saturday afternoon. What brought me to this today was a picture I saw of the original Brickfords restaurant facade recently being uncovered and I was looking into if this was the site of the record store.Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10539286380684530895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610175022125158368.post-30213665708006085702017-09-04T02:50:41.508-07:002017-09-04T02:50:41.508-07:00A trip to this store on Church and Flatbush every ...A trip to this store on Church and Flatbush every Saturday for several years was something I looked forward to for years when I was a teen. I built the bulk of my record collection from Titus Oaks and spent hours hoping to find a "gem" in the used album section. I have very fond memories of this place and Alan. I know he will be missed.

I grew on Ave U and remember well his stores first on Church and Flatbush then Ave U and Ocean Ave. He wasn't the first record shop in Brooklyn, but believe he was first selling used vinyl.Jim Eigo - Jazz Promo Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779362951237339290noreply@blogger.com
