It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
I thought it would be fun going forward to re-post old chapters of Record Store Tales that you may have missed. Enjoy this Christmas-themed re-post!
RECORD STORE TALES Part 150: Smells Like Presents
Our original computerized inventory system forced us to manually type in every album title ourselves. Out of sheer boredom, often we’d shake it up a bit. For example, just for laughs, we’d often input Alanis Morissette’s album Jagged Little Pill in the system as Jagged Little Pillow. Or whatever.
When we saw this Celine Dion Christmas album come in, somebody came up with a clever custom title for our system. Remember that Marilyn Manson album, Smells Like Children? Take a look at the Celine Dion album cover. You’ll understand why we used to call this one Smells Like Presents!
R.I.P. Sunrise Records, Fairview mall
An appropriate re-name if you ask me!

Excellent. You should pitch the idea of a retooled reissue to Sony. I’d expect they’d go for it. They’d be fools not to!

Sounds good to me. I think Celine will appreciate it.
