Kemp Mill Records

Honestly, I thought it was already dead.

Wow...can't believe it was still open.

Who remembers those commercials from early 80s maybe...."Kemp Mill Records breaks it's own records", with a guy smashing a turntable with a hammer.

Met the guy who did the voice-overs a couple of times. Howard something. Couldn't be more mild-mannered in person.

Kemp Mill makes me think of Penguin Feather which makes me think of whippits.

I remember going into Penguin Feather as a real little kid and seeing all that shit and not knowing what any of it was.  The only thing I could identify were the tiny (coke) spoons which seemed just weird and useless and I remember thinking "why do they sell scales in the record store?"
