Record Store Day ~ The Rev Charles Way

Record Store Day

Founded by Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, Carrie Colliton, Amy Dorfman, Don Van Cleave and Brian Poehner in 2007, Record Store Day (RSD) was established as a way to honor the culture of the independently owned record store. It is now celebrated internationally on the third Saturday of April each year. In 2014, that day was April 19th, and what a day it was.

April weather in Michigan is unpredictable…

Record Store Day may have officially come and gone, but it's ALWAYS Record Store Day at Dodds Record Shop! Garret chats with its owner, Reverend Charles Preston Smith, about his personal history in music - from his obsession with 80's metal to the founding of the PotatoeBabies -, the various transitions and stages of the shop itself, including it's pre-World War II days to the shop and museum it is today, what he looks for in records and memorabilia, and Garret shows off his amazing negotiation skills by haggling with the good Reverend over the price of a Justin Bieber alarm clock!

NOTE: Because nothing can ever be perfect, there is a slight buzz in the background of the recording. I have tried my best to fix this. I have no idea how this happened, but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with all the cursed Neil Diamond albums that inhabit the shop - Love, Garret

Recorded at Dodds Record Shop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Saturday, April 29th, 2023.

Intro Song: “Summer Nights" by A Sunken Ship Irony

Outro Song: "Vinyl" by PotatoeBabies
