I remember subscribing to Columbia record club. I think I was 11 or 12. Of course, Mom gave it the ok. 😂 It was exciting to get those long awaited albums in the mail. We played them over and over. Carpenters, Chicago and Jesus Christ Superstar come to mind.
I don’t remember hanging a lot of posters in our bedroom. Susan and I probably didn’t want to ruin our self wallpaper job. I love that our Mom was absolutely fine with it. 💕
I love this!! I remember the many Chicago albums you got. Remember the one that looks like a chocolate bar? Didn't you and Susan have a framed print of The Star by Degas? https://www.edgar-degas.net/the-star.jsp - I seem to remember that!
I collected LP 33 records of Broadway Hits & displayed them all over my room. I knew every word to every song of my favorites. Flower Drum Song, Carousel, Music Man, South Pacific, The King & I, Oklahoma, & many more! Wish I hadn’t given them away!
We used to raid the dumpster of the Wax Museum record shop when I was a kid. My friends and I would recover the old band and tour posters - so I had a lot of those - U2, Pink Floyd, The Doors, etc. I also had a particularly groovy black light scroll of a tiger walking along a forest path - that one was a real mood setter.
David - It looks like the first one was kind of where Cheapo is now. Obviously, a different building. Do you remember that?
Dan Scholl and David Devoy opened the Wax Museum in in 1970 in what was originally a small consignment store at 7 East 26th Street at Nicollet Ave. in Minneapolis. They sold out the consignment goods and turned to selling used records.
In 1970 they added a store at 1419 Washington Ave., off Seven Corners.
Eventually there were several Wax Museum stores, including:
I remember that I had a very cherished poster of Mikhail Baryshnikov up on my bedroom wall. I had a massive crush on him and I was really into ballet at the time. I also had a framed photo of a couple of seal lions. I'm not sure why? They were really cute though!

PS - I love that Mom was "fine" with it too. Lol.

I wish you still had them too! What treasures! What was your favorite? Have you heard the newish Oklahoma? Lots of electric guitar, banjo, violin. Here's a link: https://open.spotify.com/album/3JctweW8WZzHbU8gw0J8NP?si=emk1GaJST0GkUFNjToBJzw
South Pacific I think. I’ll check out the new Oklahoma. Thx Lisa.
