Excellent CD store on 48th Street, Red Deer



Since learning about this "new" CD store from the Yellow Pages, I've looked for it. I put a quotation marks on the word new since this shop is not exactly newly established but just recently discovered. The name of this shop is Records To The Rafters. I went there last Monday and to my dismay, it was closed! I was already thinking that this business is on it's way out and about to be sold. Luckily, I once again checked it out yesterday after running several errands and finally saw it's doors opened! I immediately searched for a parking space and even though it was raining, I ran to that store like salvation was being offered there for free. It was being manned by a guy, who I guess is already in his late 50s or early 60s. Then after taking some breath, I did what I've always wanted to do since the time I first peeked through the front glass of the store - I browse like there's no tomorrow. There are several good titles I could have picked up (I could have but due to lack of funds...) but settled for those two pictured above. Funny, I just saw the Dead Beat Honeymooners on eBay last weekend and contemplating to bid on it. Just my luck that it was there right in front of me. About the Memphis Messiah, I don't know anything about this CD or band. All I know is that I remember seeing it in heavyharmonies.com so, I picked that one up. Good thing I did 'coz there is this amazing ballad there titled "Heaven". Yeah, yeah - I know that it's one of those power ballads that hair bands have to do to show their mellow side (there are several Heaven songs done by different hair bands and the most famous is that of Warrant). But trust me, this one is different. That song is worth the price alone of that CD. So, if ever you'll come across with that Memphic Messiah CD, don't hesistate to pick it up. Anyway, there are several titles that I have to leave behind since I don't have that much money but I'll definitely come back for them to this sweet, sweet CD store on 48th Street in Red Deer, Alberta.
