Beyond old-timers who paid a penny for eight albums through Columbia House mailings, or parents/siblings passing along their dusty classic rock collections, it all comes down to the local record shop.As a kid of the ‘70s and ‘80s, our first foray consisted of K-Tel disco and mellow gold compilations we saw advertised on TV.
