What this episode covers

The local music shops are a dying breed, but they used to be a part of our everyday life. Record Store Days: From Vinyl to Digital and Back Again is a new book that serves as both a history of retail music and an homage to the mighty few independent stores who are still fighting the good fight. The book is packed full of great photos and testimonials from a wide range of artists, all championing the local vinyl dealer. Icon Fetch talks with one of the authors, Gary Calamar, about putting this labor of love together.
