There was a Rough Trade record store in San Francisco.
It, Rather Ripped and Aquarius were "THE" places to get what
was hot "right now". You may have known that feeling and that
power (once present here in the SF Bay Area - as it also may
have been in your town/region): hear a song on underground
radio and make a trek (now or tomorrow) to the record shop to
purchase your own copy. You might have had to try 2 or 3 shops
but you get your copy.
I heard V2's "Man in the Box" on KSAN's Outcast show (Chris Knab
& Howie Klein) & by the next day had my own copy via Rough Trade.
