What was your favorite Butte record store?

Growing up in the Mining City there were many ways in which we got our music.  I was born in the early 1970s so that means that along with my fellow Gen Xers we were there for the end of vinyl, we lived through cassette tapes and CDs and we are now clumsily trying to manage our Spotify accounts.  Back then there was no Spotify.  There was barely MTV.  A friend of mine made a social media post that really made me think.

Way back then, part of the fun of getting new music was waiting for the new music to come out.  Kevin and I were in elementary school together and he can tell you of the days of staying up late on Sunday nights for Dr. Demento from 10 to midnight.  Dr. Demento introduced us to "Weird Al" Yankovic and I remember waiting for his album "In 3-D" to be released at Budget Tapes and Records on Harrison Avenue.  I remember that store moving to the Grand/Harrison intersection, the same location where Instant Music came to be a few years later.  What about Harding's Grocery on Dewey Boulevard?  They had music, an arcade and even snacks.

I remember way back in the early 80s there was a Musicland near the southeast entrance of the old Butte Plaza that also had a record section on the other end in Woolworth's.  Later, the mall would renovate and On Cue came onto the scene.  And then Hastings on Harrison across from El Taco.  But then as time and technology took its toll, record stores closed one by one and now it seems that digital is the only way to go.  I miss the record stores.

What stores do you remember and miss?
