Located at 8 Public Square in Medina, Ohio, Blackbird Records has a wild mix of stuff in it, partially because it shares the same building and door as a toy shop. Walk in the place, look left, and you’ll see this.
Look to the right, and you’ll see this.
The toy store has plenty of stuff ranging from signed football jerseys to Harry Potter collectibles. The record store’s stock is primarily vinyl albums and EPs.
The selection is a good mix of stuff for a small space. For instance, here’s an interesting bin.
Just here we have The Gap Band, Kenny Loggins, Grand Funk Railroad, and Ian Dury and The Blockheads all within easy reach of each other.
Looking for bargains? They have those, too.
Sheena Easton, Kenny Rogers, Wayne Newton, Buster Poindexter, and Climax Blues Band all in the same bargain bin. They also have some cool gig posters for sale, both originals and reprints. This one was a standout.
However, this one is the one thing I would’ve bought at the place if I had the money for it.
My late wife, Mandy, and I were at this show. It was the only time we got to see Nirvana, or Meat Puppets or The Boredoms. The Boredoms freaked out everyone in the audience. No one had any idea who they were or what they were doing. Meat Puppets dropped a solid set, and Nirvana had a fun time that even included taking a break until an audience member called his mom.
So, if anyone needs a Christmas gift idea for me, go to Blackbird Records. You’ll find plenty of options.
Keep your mind open.
