Soul Traveling Episode 13 (Richmond, VA)
September 12, 2009 09:49 AM PDT
Destination: Richmond, VA
"What you are looking at right now is the tip of Iceberg". If you've ever been in the Record Finders, you'll hear that phrase more than a few times - The Record Finders is primarily an auction site, with other records available to the public at the front of what are two large warehouses with the wall torn down. Why do you hear it so much? Because people stream in every few minutes to sell records and collections and wonder why they aren't bought considering the records they're looking at - which are a couple thousand records. That's when you get the line, and the door opens to warehouse, where four MILLION records are. When the door opened for me, it was a quasi-religious experience. You really have to see four million records to appreciate it! Despite only being able to browse through a few thousand of those records, the Record Finders delivers the goods, though its location is in a business park with other like warehouses. Still, it's worth your time. Just make sure they let you see the rest of the iceberg when you visit. Tracks:

About KeithThis podcast is focused on looking for rekkids and the stores that have those rekkids. For a long time, whenever I travel anywhere (business, personal, to see friends) one of the first things I do is look up the record stores in town. I've even taken a few trips where the sole purpose was hitting up record stores, staying in motels for the evening after a day of flipping through record bins. Whenever I do research for record stores in an area I usually end up relying on some web site done back in 2001 that hasn't been taken down yet and references long-extinct record havens... So I'm going to do my best to talk about record stores all over the U.S., the records in them and whatever else is along the way. Starting with episode 16 I'll be moving to the West Coast, but the podcasts themselves won't change - I've visited a lot of great record stores East of the Mississippi so let's see what the West has to offer.
