Anyone who happens to be passing through LAX (Los Angeles Internat Airport) may be interested to know that the 'Book Soup' bookstore (on the upper Departure Level) has a small stock of new vinyl records - a little rack of maybe 20-40 titles, re-issues & some new releases.

I nabbed a Rhino re-issue of the 1971 'Aretha's Greatest Hits' compilation for US$19.98.

Interestingly, the store assistant kindly offered to wrap it in a sealed heavy cardboard 'record mailer' package (at no extra cost) - sensible for a carry-onboard item.

I recently passed through LAX again & here are some pics of said BOOK SOUP store:



Not a large selection on the vinyl records stand, mostly re-issue titles, but of some interest, as you can see. The TT is a non-working prop

that display needs a soundburger.

Every record store display needs a Soundburger!

One of these? 😀

yes, imagine the thrill of being able to listen to your new vinyl purchase in flight !

That could be as exciting as having a 1 year old child in the seat behind you
