Remember Federal's and Arlan's? I know Kenneth remembers.

Sure do. It is funny, sometimes I think I know Kenneth because of similar experiences living in the Detroit area. Detroit had the best of everything.
Anyway, after church my dad used to drive us to Korvettes to buy our albums for approx. $3.33. The advertisement would come out in Saturday's paper and we would make our list. Great selection and ample stock. I bought many Motown "cutouts" for $1.00 - $2.00 at Spartan Atlantic on Michigan Avenue in Dearborn. A lot of Gladys, Diana, and the Miracles for $1.00.

Korvettes? OMG! Even my NY friends talk about going to Korvettes back in the day.

I use to ride my bike miles to the Woolco store to buy cut out albums. I use to also get them at Rink's [[Bargain City), Woolworths and K-Mart.

LOL! made me remember something funny....we had a luncheonette at a major bus change intersection that had a double row 6 bin [[3 rows top, 3 bottom) floor display of cut outs & discounted records right across from the cash register in the front. Got many LPS there over the years....[[I remember getting Floy Joy)
We were grade school/Jr Hs at the time....If the owner saw you browsing the first bin on the top he would yell at you...that was only stocked with Adult Party records. There were dozens of Redd Foxx LPS....most had 50% the same cover art, a cartoon/photo of Redd with a cigar, just different color graphics and titles for different LPS.
