Record Store Open in Manistee

For a couple of months, "Play It Again, Johnny" has been open, but there are a few people who haven't been there even once.  The record store opened in late June.

John Dalke, a resident of Manistee, told us by phone that more recordings and related equipment have yet to arrive at the store.  "I have 40 years' worth still waiting to be transported," he said.  It's more than a place to get one's retro fix, however; it's a practical source of hard-to-find gear.  The store features radios, antiques and record players.  Many musicians still release albums and singles on vinyl.  

One recent visitor from the Detroit area expressed delight upon finding Peter Tosh and Fleetwood Mac albums.  "We're loving it in here," wrote Anne Hayman on her Flickr photo-sharing webpage.

"Play It Again, Johnny" is currently open 10am-5pm every day, and sometimes longer, says Dalke, depending on foot traffic.  It's located next to Bluefish Kitchen + Bar, on River Street in Manistee.
