Recycled Records – San Francisco
Once upon a time (1990-1991) I lived on Webster Street in San Francisco with the nearest cross street being Haight Street. More of my disposable income went to CDs than pretty much anything else. Recycled Records on Haight and Masonic wasn’t far away, and I purchased many a CD in those hallowed walls. At that point in time probably 95% of Recycled Records’ inventory was CDs. A decade before Recycled Records’ inventory was probably 95% records (with the other 5% being tapes).
Flash forward to 2012 and the circle of life has ended up where it began as Recycled Records now sells little other than records again. Who could have predicted such a fate for the LP in 1991?
