I didn’t shop there a lot, but a few times. I went in there looking for I’m A Man by Spencer Davis Group after hearing it on dj Andy Smith’s Document mix. one of the guys couldn’t locate it on the floor and went into the store room for a really long time and still couldn’t come up with it but you could tell he really thought he could find it. it was an older cat who knew the stock extremely well, so it may have been him. I really don’t remember what he looked like, though. it’s a great shop but almost all my record buying in Atlanta has been hip hop singles, so Earwax and the like got most of my money.

We do have a nice ecosystem for buying albums (on whatever medium) in ATL (W-n-F, Criminal, Wuxtry, Earwax, what’s the one down in Decatur?, etc).

It was likely either Harry or Danny most likely… I’ve talked with both a time or two over the years, but with Danny a bit more. That shop is really an institution in the area, for sure… Danny also ran DB records out of the back of the store back in the day. I got to go back there once and it’s a crazy storage situation with records just all over the place…
