Agree totally with Anna and Michael,the pure joy of picking up these limited 7" jewels, and feeling that you are in a very exclusive club of new wave music fans,downloading just does'nt come close !!
Through out this time , The Rubinoos released their debut,with the backing of the hip music press in England at the time,pure pop still had a place amongst us new wavers, and we loved them!! They alone are the reason some of us remained with the Pop/Power Pop scene, and some of us ended up here on Audities.
1977 onwards, we will never see such an array of music like it again.
Now don't get me started on McFly, they should be discussed on 'Audities Lite'.

I lived around the corner from the second Aquarius location.
I was watching American Bandstand, and the "rate a record" was "Working in a Coalmine" by DEVO! I loved it and didn't know it was a cover at the time. I also didn't know anything about Devo, I was 11 and we didn't have MtV, etc.
anyway, I literally ran around the corner to Aquarius, it was the first time I went inside. I asked if they had this record and they only had a promo 7", which they gave me for free! It was a great day and I was a customer for life. . . well, until I moved away.
I suppose these days it's easy and instant to find downloads of a song you hear and instantly love. I have done it. it's not QUITE the same, but close.

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.
