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: Â Smells Like Presents
Our original computerized inventory system forced us to manually type in every album title ourselves. Â Out of sheer boredom, often we’d shake it up a bit. Â For example, just for laughs, we’d often input Alanis Morissette’s album Jagged Little Pill in the system as Jagged Little Pillow. Â Or whatever.
When we saw this Celine Dion Christmas album come in, somebody came up with a clever custom title for our system. Â Remember that Marilyn Manson album, Smells Like Children? Â Take a look at the Celine Dion album cover. Â You’ll understand why we used to call this one Smells Like Presents!
