Memories Of Music Buying - part 4


In the mid 70's I started receiving a magazine called Harmony. This was a magazine dealing with Jesus Music and inside each issue was an order form for a mail order comapny called Daily Bread. Daily Bread dealt exclusively with Jesus Music. Their selection was second to none. I ordered from them a few times and their service was excellent. Among other good albums this is where I got "Brainwashed" by the All Saved Freak Band.

With the advent of the internet music shops on line became very popular. One of my favorites was True Tunes.

True Tunes was owned and operated by John J. Thompson. It was a retail store in Wheaton IL that had a magazine where it advertised it's mail order business. In 1999 they did away with the printed version and turned completely to the internet.

True Tunes carried a lot of your basic CCM and Christian rock, but they were mostly known for carring a lot of hard to find music and limited editions.
