Business / RIP Everyday Music's Michael Jackson/Jackson 5 Sections Decimated
Posted by Dave Segal on Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 1:37 AM
I hit Everyday Music around 10 pm Thursday and headed straight for the Michael Jackson CD section. It had been picked pretty clean, along with the Jackson 5 selection. I was hoping to score Off the Wall, but no luck. Over in the vinyl bins, I found zero MJ platters and a few (very cheap) copies of the Jacksons' Triumph and a best-of J5 collection.
Store manager David Miranda told me that within minutes of Jackson's death, Everyday Music experienced a crush of customers seeking MJ's releases. "This 60-something, toothless Caucasian woman came in frantically looking for a copy of Thriller," he said. "That really tells you how broad [Jackson's] impact was."
He said he put in an order for 65 copies of Thriller, which are expected to arrive Saturday within a couple of weeks.
Below is my favorite J5 song that hasn't been over-played.
