Record shops in Nashville carry used classical LPs.

Some smash-and-grab punks in Vestal, driving to Nashville? Maybe.

I always figured that they just dumped them.

Who knows, it was a long time ago. I doubt that the physical records still exist, but the music still lives.

I don’t think I’d even try these days, tbh. It was hard enough finding them in the days of “record stores”, as the sections kept shrinking. Similar to jazz.

In the early 80s, my job was scouting new locations, supervising their build out, hiring and training staff, from managers on down for a rapidly expanding record store chain. In addition, I was tasked with “fixing” underperforming stores. This took me to Athens, GA. I evaluated the staff, hired new managers and employees, remerchandised the store, hired part time employees from the art school to do displays, grew sales, and optimized stock turnover (highest in the chain). One of the things I did was to enhance both classical and jazz catalogue. Despite the record setting turnover rate, warehouse buyers recalled much of this inventory, stating that buyers could special order the albums. I argued in vain that the sales increases in these items were due to their in stock availability. The chain sold, and I was among the middle management let go by the new owners. The Athens store devolved into a student hang out, and performance declined.
