Hungry Ear Records – Kailua, Honolulu
I heard from a couple different people that if I was going to be in Honolulu I should definitely check out Hungry Ear Records, which is located in Kailua. It is a relatively small shop, but very well organized with high quality, good condition records. This calls for a little bit of a higher price but nothing drastic. I started going through their jazz section and found quite a few really good pieces for about $5-$10 each. Then, I found a small mini crate of funk and soul 45’s below the main bins. I combed through a couple of them and they all looked interesting, and then I realize that the whole crate was good. I ended up buying practically the entire crate which was about fifty 45’s. Did I mention they were all a dollar each? I’ll post some of my finds later…
The owner, Ward, and his wife were mad cool. We started talking about jazz records. They were okay with me taking pictures of the place, and told him I would do a little write up about my digging excursion there. It’s really cool to meet record store owners who love music, and are quickly open to geek out on music with you. I felt very welcome there!
