All the while growing up in small town NC, we all bought records. Most everyone bought their copy of what they liked. I did the same in some cases but I got much more enjoyment out of buying the obscure unknown bands first and waiting to buy the popular titles later. Everybody played the same music it seemed. From Beatles to Jethro Tull, to Rolling Stones, to FZ, so I could hear many popular lp's right when they came out since my friends had bought them.
Instead, I bought Potliquor, Delbert & Glen, Family, MAN, Hawkwind, Amon Duul II, Hydra, Black Pearl, Eric Quincy Tate, Uriah Heep, Cowboy, Listening, The Liverpool Scene GYPSY, Hate and many others;
While my friends bought Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Van Morrison, Black Sabbath, Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Grateful Dead. T Rex, David Bowie, I bought many of these too but usually later used, or promo copies.
Of course we were always turning each other on to new bands we found and in most cases few people had heard of the bands I was buying. Still some of my favorite where huge in the area I grew up in and have fallen into obscurity these days. We spent many nights listening to these bands that today are much sought after vinyl treasures.
So as I start listing more and more titles on Vinyl Audio Hound moving into the crypto world for payments will be interesting to say the least. I only have to acquire a phone (something I detest) to use for KYC and crypto will be accepted via COINBASE and public wallet address.
The site is fairly operational though I am still learning how to use it. Of course thousands of items are to be uploaded in the next year.
Moving Crypto into Main Street requires small Mom and Pops like mine to jump on board for the everyday purchase.
