Back In The Day

Just thinking about the good old days of going to stores to buy albums, I mean vinyl.  Fond memory of a day in 1979, when I went up to a counter with copies of the newest Van Halen, Commodores and a Supertramp album.  The clerk made some snide comment to another employee about the odd trio I was buying.
I was a teenager and didn't think much of it.
Today, it's easier to buy stuff online and not feel apprehensive about what you're buying.  So, mixing up guilty pleasure titles with crit faves is so easy.
Back in the day?  Not so.
