The only FM purchase I remember 100% is buying Live at K-mart, the day it was released.

AND that Bella Donna is the last 8 track I ever bought.

I also bought the live album at K mart. But it was 1983. I think Hills is a eastern Ohio, Western PA, and WV chain. They were founded in Youngstown OH but had their HQ in Mass. Did not realize they had them in Indiana. I worked for Hills one summer and they were so employee friendly. Paid their employees cash on pay day in the front office. Hills was so much better than Ames, Walmart, Kmart, etc. In Pittsburgh the Hills snack bar was so popular that they still sell Hills Snack bar candles around the area. I dont know how they do it but the candle smells exactly like the snack bar...mixture of popcorn, hot pretzels, hot dogs and Icee's

I bought Christine McVie's solo album and Rumours at Hills. I bought Bella Donna at Woolworths. The rest at various record stores.
