There’s a great buzz at the Record Centre lately, and this Saturday was no exception.  Even the bizarre weather didn’t deter the weekend shoppers.  If you’re a vinyl lover you know there’s nothing more relaxing then slowly flipping through a few thousand records looking for that next addition to the collection.  Stop by the store soon and see what many music-loving Ottawans have already discovered-  the Record Center is a great place to chat with like-minded audio hobbyists and music aficionados!

Busy Saturday at the Record Centre

Come by the Record Centre and ask one of the friendly staff members to put on a 78 for you.  Hear Bessie Smith in all her glory.  You want analogue?  How’s this for analogue-  no power cord, no batteries, no electrons flowing inside this beauty whatsoever (particle physicists please refrain from debate).  This record player has been making music since the Model T was the most popular car on the road and will still be making music when the last iPod is tossed into a landfill.  You won’t believe how good it sounds until you hear it with your own ears!

Got blues?  The crew have put out enough blues records in the last week that it was finally time to give the blues its own section (no more unholy co-mingling with jazz records!).  If you haven’t been in to the store in the past couple months, you’ll be amazed at the amount of jazz and blues available at TRC now.  Some of it is even alphabetized…   Come on by and see for yourself!

Did you forget Valentine’s Day?  Don’t panic- It’s not too late!  Swing by The Record Centre on your way home and pick up a nice romantic record or cd.  After all, how are you going to set a mood without the right music?

Here’s the deal.  John has some kind of weird gift.  Vinyl finds its way to him.  I can’t explain it.  It is what it is.

Have you been in to the Record Centre in the past few months?  Since John took over the vinyl section, the selection of LPs has been fantastic;  if you’re already on board, you know this.  The new vinyl continues to roll in, and the collection of records has never been better.  This week is no exception.  There are hundreds of new albums you won’t find anywhere else in town.

Do you have a weakness for vinyl?  Budget problems?  For G*d’s sake, don’t visit the Record Centre.  You’ll be choosing between music and food.  Think I’m joking?  Ask some Hintonburgers who know already.
