March 8, 201214 yr There was a Phil's Records I used to go to all the time in Northern Kentucky. I'm drawing a blank as to the town it was in, but I know it was off the 471 exit (Southgate maybe?). I used to go there in high school because they had a lot of bootlegged stuff. Bought a $50 Pearl Jam two-disc set there...a live concert from Berlin, Germany that at one time was my most prized collection of music. Phil's was in Ft Thomas , they are still in business on US 27 in Highland Heights on the right past the Furniture Fair Store .

March 8, 201214 yr Phil's was in Ft Thomas , they are still in business on US 27 in Highland Heights on the right past the Furniture Fair Store . Actually, there were a three branches at one point: the original in Ft. Thomas, the Ft. Mitchell location in Grandview Station, and another that was in Cincinnati - OTR, I believe. The Ft. Mitchell store moved up Grandview into Crescent Springs around '92/'93, and they closed the Cincinnati store somewhere in the mid-90's. The Ft. Thomas and Crescent Springs locations merged into a new Latonia location next to the Latonia Kroger around '02/'03, and the store changed ownership somewhere around then as well. The new owner hired a bunch of metal heads who wouldn't stock much of anything but metal, and when the Latonia location started to fail, they moved the store up to Erlanger in the old VanLeunens plaza between the pet shop and the tire store. That location limped along for a year or so, and then closed it's doors as well. When the original "Phil" went to open his store again, the second owner wouldn't sell him back the rights to the "Phil's Records" name - that's why the current, and only existing location on US 27 is called "Phil's Music & Memories" (although interestingly enough, Phil still owns the rights to and uses the www.philsrecords.com web address. So...there's The Complete History of Phil's Records: An Abridged Classic.
March 8, 201214 yr I knew Phil at WKU. If I remember correctly he's a Dixie grad? First album I bought was The Beatles' Rubber Soul. I had some birthday money and my older brother talked me into it by letting me spend an entire weekend reading his comic book collection.
