Stuck in Vermont 76: Pure Pop Record Store Day

December 212009

4/19/08: The first ever international Record Store Day was in full swing at Pure Pop Records Saturday.

Music fans swarmed the bargain bins and went home armed with old and new records, tapes, and CDs.

Why are indie record stores a vital part of our community? What makes them different from shopping for music online? Is it the atmosphere, the browsing, the hunt for rare finds, the album art or the way a new record smells?

Eva bought her first album at Pure Pop (Ziggy Stardust) years ago and she is back to find out why it is still so special.

    That Drew Peberdy boy is not to be trusted. This whole “support your local record store day” is just a small part of his ever growing crime syndicate.

    Pure Pop is a great store – I’m glad they’re still around after so many years. This reminded me of the joy of visiting used record stores, an experience that has become too rare.

    I agree, it was the first indie record store I ever set foot inside and it will always be the best.

    Truth be told, I didn’t buy it! Had to run off and shoot another vlog. But I hope to go back and splurge on records really soon. The poster of that album cover is in my bathroom though! And it is one of my first favorite albums…ah Lou!

    outstanding!
    dad first took me to pure pop when i was very small and it became the archetype by which all other record stores in my life would be measured.
    needless to say, none have quite measured up.
    thanks for profiling yet another awesome place.
