The Music Shop by Rachel JoyceMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This is a love story to vinyl, so music freaks will enjoy it. Frank refuses to stock CDs or cassette tapes because nothing is better than vinyl. With hints of magical realism, Frank can look at a person and recommend the perfect record to help him or her out, but he can't manage to work that magic on himself when his own life goes downhill. The mysterious woman with an accent is the love of his life, but he is just darn frustrating with her. All works out in the end--this is quite the cozy story.
However, I had some issues with the audio version. The narrators voice sounds a bit shadowy at times, and Aretha should never, ever sound like a country music singer. The low voice was almost too low--it vibrated a bit in my car at times. On Disk 2, Track 11 at 0:47 there was a skip. On Disk 3, Track 5 at 1:00 there was an unusual loud stress on "DAMPening with water" that sounded odd. On Disk 6, Track 11, there was a skip at 2:04.
