old-school record/music stores like this are all but extinct these days. RE is a true gem. I think their selection of vinyl records is limiteless! Their prices are very low--new CDs cost about $13...

Reminds me of the 'Mom & Pop' record store of my childhood. The owner seems to know a ton about everything that they sell and music in general. I really hope this place survives the digital music...
