Jackson Free Press

I stopped by to pay a visit to my friends at Morningbell Records and Cafe in their new location (on the Frontage Road by Maywood Mart) and was surprised to find they had quite a few exclusive releases for Record Store Day Black Friday still in the store. There's some quality stuff from Nilsson, Townes Van Zandt and The Flaming Lips there for taking. Not to mention, they had a few 45s left in stock (The Safaris, Van Dyke Parks, Jimi Hendrix, etc). These releases are very limited and go for lots of money on Ebay. So, my question is this: Why are they still there? Get ye to ole rekkid sto' and grab these gems. Plus, if you have any Elvis Presley or Frank Sinatra fans in your family, they just got a ton of stuff from those future stars. The cafe is coming along nicely and they are offering a variety of coffee flavors.
