A1 Records
A younger author at his favorite record spot in Los Angeles – A1 Record Finders. The good doctor and I easily killed a whole day at this joint. The guy who runs the spot is decently shady and has a keen understanding of his product. It took awhile but after he was buttered up and complimented enough times on his outstanding collection, he allowed us into an inner chamber where we got to see some records that we knew existed only as myth and had heard ghostly rumors about on the internet. He was pretty proud of this room and would point to random records and say things like. “Jay-Z rented that record from me last week.” and “Oh you like that record? It’s a good one. Biz Markie rents it from me from time to time.” Humbling.
