I have spent some time in Stans looking at all the many albums and 45's and he had a great selection of sheet music too. I do not think that corner is the place to hang out now days

Before it closed they had the building next to Hardeman's as a warehouse. Periodically they would open it to the public for a big sale. I had enough cash for one more record. Decisions decisions. BTO or Band on the Run. I had completely forgotten bout all that. Think I ended up with Wings. The Shreve City branch was more accessible when I was a pup but only slightly so. Probably fifteen miles away. When your mode of transportation is a Honda Sport 90 that is the equivalent of a trip into the Amazon. My brother was the pilot and I the dumb-ass tag along kid brother. It was about -30 degrees outside but the Jimi Hendrix album was not at our house. So the only thing to do was dress as warmly as possible, kick over that Honda, climb on, go to Stan's Shreve City, get that record and safely return it home. A walrus would have gotten frost-bite on that ride. We looked like Harry and Lloyd of Dumb and Dumber fame as we dismounted. Later there was a W.70th location. The first place I remember was Spartan-Atlantic on Linwood and Kings. Mom bought my eldest brother The Beatles Something New, My middle brother got Beatles 65 and I got Eight Days a Week 45. Beatlemania! Even Palais Royal got in on the record sellin' action. Not much selection though. Somehow Mom was goaded into buying a record during a school clothes spree. The most promising we could find was an album by The Liverpool Beats. Other record departments were Sears, TG&Y and later Globe Discount City. Seems like Sooto came around in the early seventies.

Good ol' Stans records.. Shopped in plenty of those.. I still got plenty of 8-tracks here, all with that stans record sticker on them.

Used to love going into Sooto Records as well..

My mom was great at buying us 45s! We would go to the store and pick out stacks of them! I still have a bunch of them. I'm not from here so we had to go to this one little music store in our town. But she was great! Of course she loved listening and dancing along too. Also we had a player piano and we loved going to that store to pick out piano rolls! She still has a player piano to this day and now my kids love to go over and sing along to Blueberry Hill, Hound Dog, Raindrops Keep Fallin on My Head and jamming along to Boogie Woogie...it has been a very cool tradition in our family!

Wasn't there a Stan's at Southfield Center or some type of music store?

My older sibilings bought 45's at Stans, but I remember buying Iron Butterfly, Three Dog Night, Jimmi, Grand Funk Railroad, and Stepenwolf all at TG&Y. Those were my first albums. But I bought my first Yes album at Shreve City Stans some years later. I saved up for some good headphones from Koolimays (sp?) so I could hear them all!

yup, as a kid, when my mother was doing some shopping at Shreve-city, I'd go down to the stans and buy 8-tracks and sheet music

and yes I seem to remember a stans in Southfield at some point.

Stan the record man.

United Jewelers downtown also sold albums. I bought my first Cheech and Chong and my first Richard Pryor albums there. My parents had no clue what they were buying.. But we listened and laughed until we were spastic...

I also remember TG&Y being called the "five and dime store" or something like that. But albums were way over a dollar.
