The Mellotron Group

This is something I miss and somehow the holidays brought it out. Korvettes was a discount store exactly like many others. My family used to go there in the late sixties and early seventies to browse and shop. I remember the album section- a wall of LPs ranked in order by "Billboards" I think. The album art was right in my face, color, strange images, Music seemed, somehow,  a bigger part of life then- out in the open rather than in hidden away in an I tunes folder. Getting music meant going someplace, seeing something, being in an environment.  I do miss that.

I worked at a Korvettes for 2 summers. I don't miss that.

E. J. Korvetts. I remember buying records there. I remember one being Super 
 Session.
