For me it was the Harvard Coop in Cambridge Mass.  I started buying
records in the early 60s (maybe even the late 50s).  Exactly the same
experiences, listen, talk, ask questions, receive recommendations.

in the Coop.  Now, when it comes to recommendations I come to this list.
But, it's not quite the same, although it's pretty darn good.
