Jeff and Robbie:
I have fond memories of Kemp Mill Records...the Rehoboth store anyway. Who
knows, Jeff, you may have sold some CDs to me when I stopped in on my trips
to the Delaware beaches. I thought Kemp Mill had a pretty decent selection
and great prices...with no sales tax! Kemp Mill was also pretty cool about
giving away promotional posters. I still have a huge Annie Lennox framed
promo poster for Diva in my home office that the generous folks at Kemp Mill
gave to me.
Do both of you remember a small (mostly Delaware) chain of stores called
Rainbow Records? I know they had stores in Northern Wilmington and Newark,
Delaware and a store in West Chester, PA, but I think they also other stores
in both PA and DE as well. I used to frequent the West Chester and
Wilmington stores quite a bit when I lived in Chester County, PA. They used
to have some fantastic one day sales where everything in the store was
11.99. The stores would be jammed on those days. I also remember they had a
frequent buyer club where, if I remember correctly, you got a free CD after
regular price purchases of 10 CDs. Long after I moved to Philadelphia, I
learned that the chain had folded. I am not sure if they expanded too
rapidly, or the general bad climate for indie stores killed them off. Do
either of you know what happened to them?

> Hey Jeff T, I live right near the Kemp Mill shopping center, where the
first (and for a long time) only Kemp Mill Records was located (hard to
believe they no longer have a store there).
