Joe’s Record Paradise is OPEN!

Joe's Record Paraside

Checked out Joe’s Record Paradise on Georgia Avenue this morning. Very impressive, but it’s what I expected. Great, eclectic selection of vinyl, CDs, cassettes – the works. Even some inexpensive (and functional) turntables, posters, tchotchkes, and books.

One of my favorite things is the shrine. Not sure about the story behind it, though, and I was in a hurry so I didn’t get a chance to ask. One thing I did thumb through, though, was the selection of 45s. I have a soft spot in my heart for these, growing up with a nice little collection myself. They have some good stuff here.

This actually got me looking through my own collection, which I think I might start cataloging. I regret to admit that it includes things like “Urban Chipmunk” and “Pac-Man Fever,” among all the Rush, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Joe!
