In the Brockton Arcade in Riverside, there was a Record Store called
Gillette's Records, owned and run by
Doug Gillette. It was advertised weekly in the K/mentertainer. I was living in San Bernardino, but I managed to go there. The first record I bought at
Gillettes was
Break On Through-Doors, with a picture sleeve in 1967, with a hole in the center (because the box he kept the 45's on the counter had a bar in it to keep the 45s from being taken out of the box.)
I continued to buy records there, until the 1980's when he switched over excluvively to CDs, then I bought CDs there. In the late 1980's he closed up shop and moved his store to Lake Havasu.
In January 1990 my wife and I went to Las Vegas, and had to make a detour on the way home to Lake Havasu. Stopping at
Gillettes I bought CDs and recently ran across this receipt, which I was using as a bookmark.
I spent money and I took pictures of his shop. I've looked for the pictures, which at this point I cannot find, but when do I find them I will post them. Health Castle was the name of the buiding, probably because it looked like a castle.
