Was a biz in the Fenway for
20 years-I now do a yard sale on weekend This page to remember and c***e Enjoy

The King of Records store for over 30 years in the West Fenway. It pretty much became a community hangout, and students passing through bought items for there apartment, or were just there. It was a fun time for a lot of people.I will be adding pictures of those times, and stories.

In 1987 when the Aids epidemic was at it's height The King of Records Store in the Fenway,Boston did a display to inform people in this area about Aids.After 4 months A benefit was held at the store to raise money for children with aids ,and incarnated mothers with aids.$3500.00 was generated. Young people and artists in the area helped in this display and Benefit. Records were used and Questions and Yes/No answers put below They eventually became warped from the sun coming through the windows. Possibly the only display of it's kind for any record store.One women who was chiefly responsible for getting this benefit together and was going throughout the world for Aids education was D.E.Dale. Others involved were Helen Goodwin,Susan Jokien, Anna Liza Rigalle,Roger Oliver,Mike Mentone, Leo Islas and his musical companions, Mike,Peter,,and a great gathering of people.
