Gravity Records, on Castle Street in Wilmington,
is a throwback to the heyday of record stores, back
when classic rock was just rock. Customers browse
through an extensive selection of used LPs, organized
by genre. They pick up an album, check out the
artwork, then flip it over to check out the track list-ings
and musicians. They can talk to the employees
about music, chat about their favorite bands, and get
recommendations.
“It’s nice to be able to talk to people about something
you’re passionate about,” Spry says. “Some young kid
came in a couple of weeks ago and said he liked Rush
and some other bands. I said you need to listen to Yes’s
Fragile album. You’ll probably like it. He came back a week
or two later and was like, ‘I love that record.’”

The experience of buying a vinyl album at a record store includes
browsing through collections arranged by music genre, and
appreciating the album artwork.
