Saturday, April 22 is Record Store Day. If you are into vinyl then you probably already know this. Instead of doing a regular old list of area record stores I thought I would change things up a bit.

This year I wanted to know what people’s ultimate Detroit album is. The quintessential album that speaks to them on a personal level. The musical legacy that Detroit has means that there are so many avenues one person could take.

So I drove to a few record stores around the area to ask.

This question caught a few people off guard, while others knew right away. Choosing an album on the spot can be tough, because music can be so subjective. But I think we have a pretty nice list to start out with. What are you thoughts?

### **1\. People’s Music – Detroit**

As quickly as the words left my mouth, Brad had his top choice in his hand. **Yusuf Lateef’s *Detroit Latitude 42° 30° Longitude 83°***

When I spoke to one of the employees at Street Corner Music he told me his top choice was **Marvin Gaye’s *What’s Going On.***

During my visit I had a nice chat with three of the Found Sound employees. **The** **Stooges** **Fun House** is a “deserted island album.”

Wade’s top pick for album is **Lyman Woodard Organization’s *Saturday Night Special.*** 

“The album didn’t get the dues that it should have when it was released. It’s an underdog much like Detroit.”
