Motor City transplant Richard Fisher has built Squeezebox Records into a music-lover’s mecca By Matt Morrissette

ichard Fisher’s lifelong love affair with music, and more specifically vinyl, started at the tender age of 12 when he purchased his first album, Aerosmith’s Get Your Wings, at a record store in his hometown — the fabled musical mecca Detroit, Michigan. Beyond giving us the automobile and Mr. Fisher, the Motor City gave us Motown Records, Alice Cooper, Bob Seger, protopunks The Stooges and the MC5, and more recently, Jack White of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs. It’s there that Fisher got the spark that, decades later, turned into the only record store within Wilmington city limits, SqueezeBox Records. ► APRIL 2021
