And in the era of iTunes, iPods and downloads, that would be like buying a flashbulb factory! But while other businesses around him have come and gone, Rock and Roll Heaven has grown in reputation to it's current status as one of the best vinyl album stores in the world!
Somehow, despite being located in Orlando, the theme park capital of the world, it's Rock and Roll Heaven that is the destination of choice for countless tourists and locals.
Not only is he a relic in terms of believing in albums, he's also one of the few who still believes in customer service. Fred has proven that both "outdated" concepts still work their magic!
You'll hear it loud and clear in this interview from the Growing Bolder Radio Show. You've got to hear Fred explain why the analog sound is superior, why our ear is drawn to a physical sound, and why digital music exhausts your hearing.
And after spending a few minutes with Fred you just might be tempted to dig out your old albums and dust off your old turntable.
Oh, yes! It just might be time to turn it on, place it on the platter, and turn it up again!

Posted 8:24am March 7th, 2009I have known Freddie and shopped at ROCK N ROLL HEAVEN for MANY years. I actually shopped there BEFORE Freddie bought it from Dave Bushey, back in the 70's (okay, I'm getting OLD!). My wife doesn't let me go there anymore because she knows I can disappear for a whole day in that store! I can get lost in the stacks of wax and all the cool stuff he has there. He even has an old jacket on display from my band "Ricky & Tightrope" from the 70's!....I don't even have one of THOSE! LOL!! I am still a fan of vinyl, and have held on to most of my old LPs from the day. It sounds warmer, richer, and there is something about that needle dropping on the groove that gets my blood pumping. THANK YOU FREDDIE for hanging in there with such a cool shop!....in an era of copycats, it's a ONE OF A KIND place.
