Tracks Records--- Lee's Flashback....
Tennis shorts, a crucifix and an odd mix of cheap pot and body odor. "Why do you have fish on the counter? That space could be used to sell something!" 120 copies of Blows Against The Empire for the warehouse. Tracks #5ís first print ad: ëA.W. Prop says "Bloomington is a warzone. And youíll have fun!"í Customers stepping in Cubby dung. Removing the ten packs of Maxell tape from the free carrying case, wrapping them up into bricks & pricing the free carrying cases $5.99 Taking Cubby in for a covert grooming, being told over the phone that it would be $25 and having the groomers call halfway into the job to say that it would be another $25. "Fire On The Mountain by the Charlie Daniels Band is the greatest rock record ever made" Flying records ñ most notably copies of Culture Clubís "Colour By Numbers" Live maggots under the floor mat of his Nissan. Hearing "Why do you have all of these Joan Armatrading records in stock?!" Öand once the labels were paid (with returns)Ö "Why donít you have any Joan Armatrading records in stock?!" And the words spoken to the new manager of Tracks #5 after I turned in my keys and walked out the door, "That Leeís a hell of a nice guy, but he doesnít know a damn thing about retail."
