Hey guys just saw your post I am also from east Tenneessee. I haven't been to disc exchange since they closed the west Knoxville store I also used to shop at lost and found
when it was located in the same area as Cats Records when they were in west Knoxville. I remember Mike and Maria at lost and found I also think John Davis from the band
(SupererDrag) used to work there and there was another super fan named Les that worked at Cats. I noticed that you didn' t mention Raven Records it is located on Bearden Hill ask for Jay these guys turned me on to some of my first Beach Boys boots this store used to be located on the UT strip. Todd Steed from (Smoking Dave) use to work there too.
Very cool to have another Knoxvillian around. Lost and Found is still around. They are now located on Broadway in an old house that they've converted to a store. It's still a great record store and though many more good stores have popped up in the area, it's still my #1 stop for vinyl. I also remember the old Kingston Pike store. I was a regular for sure. John from Superdrag absolutely worked there.
Raven records has moved to a new location. I don't think that the Kingston Pike location is open anymore. Their new store is on Central in the "happy holler" section of north Knoxville. It's a cool store. Again, I fondly remember the campus location of this store. That is the first place I ever saw a copy of the Beatles Yesterday and Today with the "butchered babies" cover.
